To investigate the associations between hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and hematocrit (Hct), and blood pressure (BP) in children and adolescents. The study population consisted of 7950 subjects total (4229 boys and 3721 girls) aged 10-18 years who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted between 2007 and 2017. The prevalence of hypertension was 19.19% (21.51% for boys and 16.5% for girls) among the study population, and the prevalence of obesity was 9.59% (10.5% for boys and 8.6% for girls). Hb count and Hct tended to increase with the degree of obesity and BP elevation. Systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) positively correlated with Hb count and Hct in both sexes. Following multiple linear regression analysis, Hb count and Hct presented a positive association with SBP and DBP after adjusting for age, BMI SDS, alcohol consumption, smoking status, physical activity, rural residence, household income, diagnosis of T2DM, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Hb count and Hct were positively associated with SBP and DBP in children and adolescents 10-18 years old.

To investigate anticoagulation effects of nafamostat mesylate(NM) in sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED) and its relevant factors. Critically ill patients with kidney disease who were admitted to Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and underwent SLED treatment from May to August 2024 were retrospectively included. Baseline clinical data were collected, and the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and activated clotting time (ACT) were measured at the arterial end, before the filter, and at the venous end two hours post-NM anticoagulation treatment.

Objective: To obtain standard reference values of intraocular pressure measured with rebound tonometry in conscious healthy Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus).
Methods: 17 Egyptian vultures presented for a routine health check, involving a full physical examination, blood film examination, Hct, manual total leukocyte count, and plasma biochemistry. 15 animals considered healthy and with no signs of stress underwent an ophthalmic examination, including observation of facial symmetry, adnexa, and direct fundoscopy to screen for ocular disease.

: Depression often coexists with anemia, potentially sharing common pathways, highlighting the need for treatments addressing both conditions simultaneously. This study evaluated the effect of probiotics on red blood cell (RBC) parameters in adults with depressive disorder. We hypothesized that probiotics would positively influence RBC parameters, potentially modulated by baseline inflammation or dietary intake, with improved RBC function correlating with better antidepressant outcomes.

Anemia is a worldwide public health problem and is associated with platelet disorders. The relationship between anemia and platelets is complex, with the association being either normal platelet count or thrombocytosis. Platelets are significantly decreased in patients with anemia, and thrombocytopenia has been documented in patients with severe anemia.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by increased skin sensitivity to environmental elements, mediated by CD4 T helper cells (Th2). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) plays a critical role in exacerbating symptoms in inflamed tissues. Conversely, vitamin D has been shown to induce antimicrobial peptides and suppress the inflammatory response.
