The aim of this study was to compare hematological parameters with the mean obstructive apnea duration (MOAD), mean mixed apnea duration (MMAD), mean central apnea duration (MCAD), mean total apnea duration (MTAD) and mean hypopnea duration (MHD), and blood oxygenation, other polysomnographic sleep parameters in patients with severe OSA. A retrospective study included 120 patients with severe OSA. The correlations between the hematological parameters with MOAD, MMAD, MCAD, MTAD, MHD, and blood oxygenation, other polysomnographic sleep parameters were analyzed. There was a positive correlation between hgb with MOAD, MMAD, MTAD MCAD, MHD; mean oxygen desaturation, and the number of desaturation (≥5%). Also, hgb associated negatively with N1 sleep, WASO (wake time after sleep onset) and positively with REM, N2 sleep, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency. RDW and MOAD, MTAD, MHD were negatively related. Also, RDW related positively with sleep latency, WASO, and N1 sleep; negatively with sleep efficiency and REM sleep. There was no relationship between duration of respiratory events with NLR, PRL, and MPV. Hematological parameters, especially hgb and RDW, can be used to assess the severity of the disease in severe OSA patients in addition to AHI.

The beneficial effects of water-soluble dietary fiber on liver fat and fibrosis involve the gut microbiota; however, few epidemiological studies have investigated this association. This large-scale epidemiological study aimed to determine the effect of water-soluble dietary fiber intake on liver fat and fibrosis via gut microbiota for the general population. We divided low- and high-intake groups by median daily water-soluble dietary fiber intake and matched background factors by propensity score matching for sex and age.

This study aims to assess the impact of levocarnitine supplementation on hematological and serum iron profile parameters, comparing the efficacy of oral versus intravenous (IV) administration in these patients.
Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter, randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients undergoing MHD at the hemodialysis unit of our study center in Karachi, Pakistan.

In tropical and subtropical countries like Egypt, sheep breeding faces environmental thermal stress, especially during the summer when air temperature and humidity are very high. Using Microalgae as an alternative feedstuff can significantly improve sheep growth, health and oxidative status. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of consuming two different species of microalgae: Spirulina platensis (SP) and Chlorella vulgaris (C.

Purposes: This study aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of combining 68Ga-pentixafor PET with MRI to differentiate primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from glioblastoma (GBM), particularly focusing on atypical lymphoma identification.
Patients And Methods: Seventy-one PCNSL and 53 GBM patients who underwent both 68Ga-pentixafor PET/CT and MRI were retrospectively included. We evaluated the quantitative imaging parameters and MRI features of positive lesions, identifying atypical PCNSL by hemorrhage, necrosis, or heterogeneous enhancement.
Pediatric Myeloid Neoplasms With UBTF Tandem Duplications: Morphologic, Immunophenotypic, and Clinical Characterization.

Article Synopsis
- Tandem duplications (TDs) in the UBTF gene are a recently identified genetic alteration linked to pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), establishing UBTF-TD as a distinct subtype of AML.
- A study of 27 pediatric patients revealed that UBTF-TD is commonly associated with symptoms like cytopenia and characteristic changes in bone marrow, such as erythroid hyperplasia and trilineage dysplasia.
- The findings suggest that patients with MDS and AML exhibiting UBTF-TD have similar prognoses, indicating that both conditions may represent different manifestations of the same underlying disease.
