Purpose: To explore the relationship between hemoglobin levels and osteoporosis and the risk factors for osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 495 T2DM adults. Medical data were collected from electronic medical records.
Results: T2DM patients with osteoporosis had significant lower hemoglobin levels (P < 0.001). Spearman correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis showed that age, female, body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking and hemoglobin levels were significantly associated with osteoporosis in T2DM patients (all P < 0.05). After adjustment for BMI, diabetic duration, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), smoking and drinking, a significant association between hemoglobin levels and osteoporosis was observed in T2DM males aged 50 years and older (odds ratio [OR] = 0.978, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.958-0.998, P = 0.030). Compared to Q3 groups with normal hemoglobin levels, Q1 groups with anemia had an odd of osteoporosis increased 2.9-fold in T2DM men after adjustment for age, BMI, diabetic duration, eGFR, smoking and drinking (P = 0.032).
Conclusion: Hemoglobin levels were associated with the presence of osteoporosis in T2DM men, especially in those aged 50 years and older.

Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) Hekinan is a prevalent α-globin variant frequently missed in thalassemia screening centers using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or capillary electrophoresis. This study aims to investigate the hematological and molecular characteristics of Hb Hekinan in a large cohort.
Methods: Hb variants were identified using isoelectric focusing (IEF) and HPLC.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the levels of hematologic parameters in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA) and to evaluate the use of Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in the differentiation of AIS and TIA.
Materials And Methods: Data and hematological results of patients admitted to the emergency department and diagnosed with AIS and TIA were compared retrospectively.
Results: The study included 36 TIA patients (M/F = 15/21) with a mean age of 64.

Background: Microalbuminuria, an early indicator of kidney damage in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) patients, is linked to a heightened risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adulthood. This study investigates the determinants of microalbuminuria in paediatric SCD patients in South-South Nigeria.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted over six months at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, involving 60 children with [HbSS genotype, SCD] in a steady state.

In Japan, most HbA1c measurements by enzymatic assays or immunoassays represent the HbA1c levels in the blood cell fraction obtained after centrifugation of the blood samples. The present study investigated that the blood cell enzymatic HbA1c assay (EA-HbA1c) was compared with whole blood HbA1c in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Study 1: EA-HbA1c levels using blood cell samples (blood cell EA-HbA1c) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-HbA1c levels using whole blood samples (whole blood HPLC-HbA1c) were measured in 15 IDA patients with Hb < 8 g/dL and transferrin saturation (TSAT) < 20%, and the correlations between the blood cell EA-HbA1c/whole blood HPLC-HbA1c ratio (%) and various IDA indicators [mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), TSAT, and logarithmically transformed ferritin (log-FER)] were examined.

Background: Screening for diabetes in non-traditional settings like emergency departments (ED) can enhance early detection among patients at higher risk for diabetes. This study aims to assess the reach of an ED-based screening program by examining the characteristics of patients screen-detected for diabetes or prediabetes.
Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.
