[Single center survey of the relationship between pregnancy anemia and prepregnancy lifestyle].

Physiologically, anemia often occurs during pregnancy because of an increase in circulating plasma volume. Pregnancy anemia is found prenatally in 50-75% of women. Based on the present survey performed in our obstetrics and gynecology ward, 52% of women experienced anemia during their pregnancy.

Plasma concentration of micafungin in patients with hematologic malignancies.

In 20 patients with hematologic malignancies, we measured the plasma concentration of micafungin (MCFG) by high-performance liquid chromatography after drip infusion of MCFG, at 150 mg/day over a 1-h period, and we analyzed the results in relation to the patients' laboratory parameters of liver and kidney function. Measurement of the plasma concentration was performed at the end of the initial administration of MCFG, 5 to 6 h after the start of the initial administration, immediately before the second dosing, immediately before the fourth dosing, and at the end of the fourth dosing. The plasma concentration of MCFG was correlated with the doses of MCFG per kilogram body weight (P = 0.
