Aim. To study the relationship between the clinical and neurosonographic indicators of the hypertensive syndrome and blood hemoglobin level in infants with perinatal disorders of the central nervous system. Methods. A total of 58 children with a diagnosis of «Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in the form of hypertensive syndrome» were examined at the age of 12 months and younger. Clinical, neurological examination, neuroimaging, laboratory tests and statistical analysis were performed. Results. The majority of infants who had suffered a hypoxia during labor and had clinical and neurosonographic signs of intracranial hypertension also had different stages of blood hemoglobin level decrease. Comparing the neurosonography data and hemoglobin levels, it was found that children with anemia dominated among children with primary accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the interhemispheric fissure. Neurosonography revealed interhemispheric fissure widening in 30 (51.7%) of infants, ventricular system widening - in 28 (48.3%) of infants. The anemia rate was high in infants with interhemispheric fissure widening - in 19 (63.3%) out of 30 infants. Anemia was more frequent in the full-term infants with interhemispheric fissure widening - 4 (87.5%) out of 16 infants, whereas prematurely born infants with interhemispheric fissure widening had relevantly higher rate of normal hemoglobin level - 9 (64.3%) out of 14 infants. In 28 infants with ventriculomegaly 23 (82.1%) had widened anterior horns of the lateral ventricles. In 14 (59.3%) of infants with dilatation of the anterior horns of the lateral ventricles hemoglobin level was within the age-appropriate normal limits. Conclusion. Reduced hemoglobin level aggravates the symptoms of intracranial hypertension, and the continuing anemia leads to tissue edema, which leads to a rapid increase of degenerative changes in the brain, causing mental and physical retardation.

Objectives: To study the effect of corona virus on blood hemoglobin and the changes this virus causes on hemoglobin in COVID-19 infected patients. Study Design: Observational study. Settings: Rawal institute of Health Sciences and Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad. Period: Feb 2021 to April 2021. Material & Methods: Total 100 adult patients were included all were suffering from corona virus infection. COVID-19 infected patients belonging to both genders with no other cause of anemia were selected and all adult patients in which anemia was due to diseases other than corona infection were excluded. The blood samples of COVID-19 infected patients was taken in 5cc syringe and was send to the laboratory of Rawal Institute Of Health Sciences Islamabad for hemoglobin estimation. Blood heamoglobin (Hb) at the time of admission was recorded. Changes in their blood Hb was noted. Statistical Analysis: Data was be entered into SPSS version 23, normality of data was checked. For non-normally distributed data kruskal wallis and Mann whitney U test was applied and for normally distributed data Anova and post hoc was used. Spearsman correlation was used to correlate non distributed data and Pearson’s correlation was used for normally distributed data. Results: 100 adult patients were divided in two groups. Group I with mild symptoms of corona virus and group II with severe symptoms of corona virus. Patients with mild corona symptoms their blood hemoglobin level was 12.2 g/dl and those with severe corona symptoms their blood hemoglobin level was 10.0 g/dl. Conclusion: It was observed that patients suffering from severe disease of corona COVID-19 had reduced hemoglobin levels than those suffering from milder form of disease, thus confirming that corona virus effects the hemoglobin level and reduces its serum value causing anemia leading to complication of disease.

Abstract The effect of indoor air pollution from different fuel types on the anemia status among non-pregnant women of reproductive ages is rarely studied. This study aimed to assess the link between indoor air pollution from different fuel types and anemia among non-pregnant women of reproductive ages in Ethiopia. The secondary data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data have been employed for this study. The women of reproductive age who were not pregnant at the time of the data collection were the study population and their anemia status was the outcome variable with multiple outcomes as (moderate to severe, mild, and no anemia) and households using biomass fuel and clean fuel were selected for this study. Multinomial logistic regression was employed to estimate the association of biomass fuel use with the anemia status of women in reproductive age controlling for age, body mass index, education level, exposure to household tobacco smoke, type of residence, wealth index, and region. Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) was calculated at 95% Confidence Interval. An independent sample t-test was used to assess the mean difference in blood Hemoglobin level (g/dl) between biomass and clean fuel users. For all statistical tests, a p-value < 0.05 was considered significant. The proportion of anemia in women of reproductive age in Ethiopia was 41.8% and 19.4 % among biomass fuel and clean fuel users respectively. The mean blood hemoglobin level was 127.17(± 18.063) g/dl. In the multivariable multinomial logistic regression analysis, women of reproductive age who utilize biomass fuel for cooking were 33 % more likely to have mild anemia than households who use cleaner fuels, whereas the association of biomass fuel use with moderate to severe anemia was insignificant. When compared with non-pregnant women who use clean energy types, women who live in households that use biomass fuel have a lower (5.8 g/dl ) blood Hemoglobin level P < 0.001. The finding indicated that the use of biomass fuel was associated with reduced blood Hemoglobin levels and significantly associated with mild anemia levels in women of reproductive age in Ethiopia. Interventions that reduce or prevent indoor air pollution from biomass fuels must be implemented in Ethiopia.

Abstract Anemia is a common complication among the patients with end-stage kidney disease. Management of anemia is influenced by several factors: iron deficiency, subtherapeutic dosage of erythropoietin, microinflammation, vitamin D deficiency, increased iPTH levels and inadequate hemodialysis. The aim of the study was to examine impact of dialysis modality on blood hemoglobin level as well as status of iron, status of vitamin D, hemodialysis adequacy and erythropoietin dose. The study included 120 patients which were divided into two groups: the group of patients treated with hemodiafiltration and the group of patients treated with standard hemodialysis. For statistical analysis Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used. Blood hemoglobin level and parameters of hemodialysis adequacy (Kt/V index, spKt/V index, URR index), hematocrit ad protein catabolic rate (nPCR) were statisticaly significant lower in patients treated with regular hemodialysis compared to patients treated with regular hemodiafiltration. Serum ferritin level, C-reactive protein level and average monthly dose of intravenous iron were higher in the patients treated with regular hemodialysis compared to patients treated with hemodiafiltration. Patients treated with hemodiafiltration have lower grade of microinflammation, better iron status and better control of anemia compared to the patients treated with regular hemodialysis. Dialysis modality is an important factor that influences management of anemia in the patients with end-stage kidney disease.

The data showed that all patients had complaints, mainly for 2-3 symptoms. 56 patients of the main group (70.0 ± 5.1%) and 24 patients of the comparison group (80.0 ± 7.3%) complained of menstrual irregularities. Dysmenorrhea was observed in 42 patients of the main group (52.5 ± 5.6 %) and 12 patients in the comparison group (40.0 ± 8.9%), polymenorrhea, respectively, in 9 (11.2 ± 3.6%) and 5 (16.7 ± 6.8%) women. As a result of menstrual dysfunction in 11 women (13.7 ± 5.1%) of the main group, such a complication of the underlying disease as anemia of the I degree (blood hemoglobin level 110 — 91g / l) was noted. Anemia grade II (blood hemoglobin level of 90 — 71 g / l) was detected in 7 (8,8%) women of the main group. Patients in the comparison group showed anemia of I degree in 4 (13,3%) women and 2 women (6.7%) had anemia of II degree. Of all the patients examined, 49.1 ± 4.8% (54 women) complained of pain in the lower abdomen, having a diverse nature (aching, nagging pains radiating to the lumbar region). Dysuric disorders were observed in only 14 women (12.7 ± 3.2% of women).
