Unlabelled: Malaria, caused by spp., is a global health concern linked to anemia and increased mortality. Compensatory erythropoiesis seen during acute anemia results in an increased circulating reticulocyte count ( , immature RBC) a key factor in understanding the relationship between pre-existing anemia and burden.

Background: Existing research presents conflicting results on the influence of blood donor sex on hemoglobin (Hb) change and transfusion-associated infection and mortality in transfusion recipients.

Aim: This retrospective study explored the association between donor and recipient sex on hospital-onset sepsis (HO-sepsis) and Hb changes in critically ill patients receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.

Methods: Data from 2010-2020 were extracted from an academic hospital's clinical database and a blood supplier's donor database.

Fetal Hemoglobin as a Predictive Biomarker for Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study in Portugal.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of vision impairment in preterm infants, with its pathogenesis linked to oxygen exposure. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, commonly performed in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), reduce fetal hemoglobin (HbF) fraction, altering oxygen dynamics and potentially contributing to ROP. We aimed to investigate the relationship between RBC transfusions, HbF percentage, and ROP, evaluating HbF as a potential predictive biomarker.

Association of folate levels with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in patients with arthritis.

Clin Rheumatol

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Wuxi No. 2 People's Hospital, Jiangnan University Medical Center, No. 68 Zhongshan Road, Wuxi, Jiangsu, 214001, China.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the association of folate levels, including red blood cell (RBC) and serum folate with mortality (cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related, all-cause, and cancer-related) in patients with arthritis.

Methods: We integrated and analyzed the data from the 1999-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to conduct this study. Weighted Cox proportional hazard regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) model, and subgroup analysis were used to analyze the association of RBC and serum folate levels with all-cause, cancer-related, and CVD-related mortality.
