A procedure is described for visualization of cells that had only fetal hemoglobin apnormal and mutant adult hemoglobins in peared as clear ghosts. Analyses of cord human blood smears. After extraction of blood from newborn infants indicate that, blood smears with a concentrated poalthough most erythrocytes contain only Hb tassium phosphate buffer (2.76 M, pH 7.2), F and a few contain only Hb A...

Resumo Em Visão Computacional e Processamento de Imagens, uma das técnicas bastante utilizadas para realizar a decomposição de uma imagem em diferentes ńıveis de resolução consiste na criação de uma pirâmide de imagens. Neste trabalho é apresentada a teoria de pirâmides, acompanhada por diversos exemplos de decomposições piramidais e suas propriedades. Algumas aplicações que utilizam estruturas...

BACKGROUND Iron disorders are common and complex in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We sought to determine whether a 3-marker index would improve the classification of iron disorders in CKD anaemia. METHODS We studied the association between Hb level and iron indexes combining 2 or 3 of the following markers: serum ferritin (<40 ng/mL), transferrin saturation (TSAT<20%) and total iron binding c...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease progression. Current diagnostic tests, such as glycemic indicators, have limitations in the early detection of insulin resistant individuals. We searched for novel biomarkers identifying these at-risk subjects. METHODS Using mass spectrometry, non-targeted biochemical profiling was conducted in a coh...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Predictors of congestive heart failure (CHF) events in patients on HD were investigated, focusing on left ventricular (LV) function. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred consecutive patients on HD were followed for at least 5 years after index examination performed 1 day after the last HD sess...

We describe haematological and DNA characterization of haemoglobinopathies in Thai adolescents caused by compound heterozygosities for Hb E [beta26(B8) Glu-Lys] and two other beta-globin chain variants, Hb Pyrgos [beta83(EF7) Gly-Asp] and Hb J Bangkok [beta56(D7) Gly-Asp]. Hb analysis demonstrated that although these two beta-chain variants have separated elution profiles on liquid chromatograp...

BACKGROUND Investigations have reported differences amongst player position groups in elite team-Handball (HB) players. Nevertheless, studies with normative physical fitness data of the HB playing positions at more than two different levels of male HB players have not been reported yet. OBJECTIVES This study aimed: 1) to describe and compare the physical fitness (PF) attributes of male HB pla...

Grantham-McGregor, S. M., Desai, P., and Milner, P. F. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 525. Haematological levels in Jamaican infants. A longitudinal study of 300 infants from birth to 1 year of age was carried out in Kingston, Jamaica. Haemoglobin levels were estimated 7 times during the year and serum iron and total iron binding capacity once. Hb electrophoresis was performed. I...
