Understanding the problem of anaemia among pregnant women booking for antenatal care in Lusaka district Zambia
… WHO (1996) defines anaemia in pregnancy as haemoglobin (Hb) level below 11g/dl in the first half of the pregnancy and 10.5g/dl in the second half. The study investigated the burden of anaemia and its associations among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the University Teaching …

Characterising the role of haptoglobin in experimental subarachnoid haemorrhage.
… and secondary injury mechanisms. Extracellular haemoglobin (Hb), released from lysed red blood cells after SAH, is thought to be one of the prime culprits that incite these pathological processes. The role of haptoglobin (Hp), a systemic acute phase protein and the primary Hb-scavenging …

Exploring the Molecular Mechanisms of Human Cytoglobin and its Role in Cancer
… L46 affects NOD activity in myoglobin (Mb) and haemoglobin (Hb). In addition to tests on the three proteins, investigations were undertaken on CYGB (WT and mutant) transfected MCF7 and HEK293S cell lines whereby reactions to stimuli such as H2O2 and chemotherapeutics were observed. Cell …

The relationship between faecal haemoglobin concentration and risk of significant colorectal neoplasia in screening and symptomatic populations.
Faecal immunochemical tests for haemoglobin (FIT) are replacing traditional guaiac-based faecal occult blood (gFOBT) tests in bowel screening programmes due to their many advantages. An evaluation of using quantitative FIT within the Scottish Bowel Screening Programme (SBSP) has taken place with …

Habits, hassle, and health: how do blood donors respond to a temporary deferral due to low haemoglobin?
… month deferral from giving blood due to a low haemoglobin (Hb) concentration. The aims were two-fold: first, to quantify the effect of a temporary deferral on donation patterns once eligible to return, and second, to identify the processes contributing to the effect. The mixed methods design …

Establishing locally derived reference intervals for full blood count parameters and white cell differential counts in the Western Cape region of South Africa
… virus (HIV), hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV, HCV) and syphilis, and those with serum ferritin levels outside the reference range were excluded. Donors with an elevated serum ferritin were also excluded. Reference intervals were derived using non-parametric statistical methods and …

Screening for childhood anaemia using copper sulphate densitometry
… assessment for the presence of pallor and haemoglobin measurement with a BMS-haemoglobinometer. Different observers performed these three screening tests independently. For the purposes of this study, anaemia was defined as a laboratory haemoglobin (Hb) concentration below 10 g/dl. A …

Interaction between anaemia and human immuno-deficiency virus infection in an asymptomatic population in south africa
… measurements.<br/>Anaemia was defined using WHO haemoglobin (Hb) and haematocrit (Hct) definitions. Univariate ANOVA statistics showed that HIV-sero-positive subjects had lower Hb, Hct, serum iron, ferritin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) but higher % saturation compared to their …

Prevalence and impact of Malaria infection on pregnancy and prenatal outcomes in the Blue Nile state of Sudan
… of pregnant women at delivery have been used for haemoglobin (Hb gm/dl) measurement and the detection of the malaria parasite; the placental blood and tissues, cord blood, and peripheral blood smears of the new born babies have been collected and examined for malaria parasites infection by …

An analysis of the utility of quantitative faecal immunochemical tests in screening and symptomatic populations
… more sensitive and specific for human haemoglobin (Hb) than gFOBT.<b><br/></b><b><br/></b><b>Methods</b>: An evaluation of the OC-Sensor Diana quantitative FIT analyser and prospective analysis of a single estimate of faecal haemoglobin concentration (f-Hb) in two clinical settings; the …

Investigating the use of CO-oximetry for simultaneous measurement of carboxyhaemoglobin and methaemoglobin in post-mortem blood
… on humans, when inhaled, by bonding with haemoglobin (Hb) to produce carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb). This results in tissue hypoxia which can be fatal at high blood saturation levels. Carboxyhaemoglobin may be measured using a Radiometer ABL825 FLEX analyser, a spectrophotometric instrument …

Preterm intraventricular haemorrhage - Effects of extracellular haemoglobin
… of red blood cells causes release of cell-free haemoglobin (Hb), which will with time further degrade releasing the toxic substances hemin, free iron, and various ROS (reactive oxygen species). Metabolites of cell-free Hb have been identified as an initiator of inflammation in the context of …
