Abstract: Anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes a decrease of quality life, and increases cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment death. Management anemia CKD with iron erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) could improve the patient's life. This study aimed to determine management focused on ESA. was literature review study. Literature searching performed by using three databases...

OBJECTIVE We have previously analyzed protein profiles using Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption and Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectroscopy (SELDI-TOF-MS) [Kozak et al. 2003, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 100:12343-8] and identified 3 differentially expressed serum proteins for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC) [Kozak et al. 2005, Proteomics, 5:4589-96], namely, apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I...

Supplementation of crystalline lactose increases SGLT-1 mRNA relative abundance, glucose transport to the basolateral compartment, and reduces the LPS-mediated inhibitory effect on glucose transport in IPEC-J2 cells. 1 Summary A preliminary experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of crystalline lactose on the relative abundance of sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT)-1 mRNA in v...

Introduction: secondary hyperparathyroidism is listed among the possible reasons for intensifying the anemia and resistance to erythropoietin therapy in hemodialysis patients. Although its exact mechanism is not entirely clarified, but shift of bone marrow cells to adipocytes, bone marrow fibrosis and decreased calciteriol can be the causes. However, the role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in...

This paper presents priority-first packet scheduling approach for heterogeneous traffic flows in low data rate heterogeneous wireless sensor networks (HWSNs). A delay sensitive or emergency event occurrence demands the data delivery on the priority basis over regular monitoring sensing applications. In addition, handling sudden multi-event data and achieving their reliability requirements disti...

Ex vivo maintenance and expansion and subsequent transplantation of adult stem cells are indispensable for successful cell therapy of self-renewing tissues, such as the epidermis and cornea epithelium. Adult stem cells maintain their stem cell properties throughout cell culture. After transplantation, they permanently engraft, self-renew, and properly produce functional progenies, which results...

Hemoglobin H-constant spring (Hb H-CS), the most common nondeletional alpha thalassemia in Asia is increasingly recognized in North America due to shifts in immigration patterns. In California, alpha (a)thalassemia syndromes are the second most frequent finding among newborns screened for hemoglobinopathies with a two-fold increase compared to a decade earlier [1,2]. Though known to have a more...

The enteric nematode parasite Ascaridia galli modulate the immune system, of the hosts and eventually leads to malnutrition in the chicks which eventually results in the decreased return of products derived from poultry. The accurate interpretation of avian plasma proteins and the dramatic changes in protein fraction are important events in several diseases and may help in procuring a diagnosis...
