This paper discusses a current misinterpretation between different parameters of hemoglobin concentration measurement and its amplification under conditions of blood loss. The paper details the distinction between microcirculatory hematocrit and the hematocrit of the macrocirculation to analyze clinical use of real-time patient hemoglobin concentration measurement by noninvasive point-of-care d...

A retrospective evaluation of attitudinal, behavioural and knowledge change among diverse stakeholder groups was conducted in Limpopo Province of South Africa to assess the effectiveness of a series of values clarification (VC) interventions. Telephone and face-to-face interview (193) results revealed that over two-thirds (70.2%) reported behavioural changes and 93.2% reported increased compass...

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance longitudinal-relaxation-rate measurements have been used to investigate the molecular events that occur during the early stages of the polymerization process of sickle hemoglobin. The longitudinal relaxation rates (T1-1) of the C2 protons of 11 observable surface histidyl residues in normal human adult and sickle hemoglobin in the deoxy state were measured in 0...

BACKGROUND Many factors affect the accuracy of hemoglobin concentration values. In this study, we evaluated whether the hemoglobin concentration obtained by means of arterial blood gas (ABG) co-oximetry and complete blood count (CBC) central laboratory techniques clinically correlate when using simultaneous measurements of hemoglobin concentration obtained during complex spine fusion surgery. ...

in a survey of 148 subjects (72 females and 76 males) in 3 villages and one city in isfahan province, plasma vitamin a, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit were determined in all subjects, and serum iron was measured in 19 persons, in order to investigate the possible relationship between vitamin a and hematopoietic factors. a positive correlation existed between plasma vitamin a and hemogl...
