Disease Analysis

The aim of this study was to investigate RDW variability and conduct a comparative analysis of the RDW level in patients depending on their belonging to a defined nosological group of diseases according to the ICD-10 classification. All patients who complete blood count tests in our hospital from January to December 2016 were included in the study. The identification of the patient’s belonging to a specific nosological group according to the ICD-10 classification was carried out on the basis of the disease analysis code indicated in the direction of the blood test. 8056 patient records were included in the final analysis. Deviations beyond the upper reference range for the RDW indicator (> 14.5%) in this study were identified for patients of the following nosological groups according to ICD-10: C - neoplasms; D - blood diseases; S - injuries; T - poisoning. Significant intergroup differences were obtained according to the Kruskal-Wallis rank analysis of variance (Kruskal-Wallis test: H (19, n= 7622) = 214.9672 p = 0.0000). According to the results of this study, we can conclude that RDW has specificity for certain diseases (neoplasms; blood diseases; injuries; poisoning). In case of cardiovascular and other diseases, deviations of this indicator beyond the limits of the upper reference values were not found in this study.

BACKGROUND: Determination of the complete blood count (CBC) and reticulocyte reference range helps diagnose a disease related to changes in erythrocyte indices, white blood count, platelets, and reticulocytes, especially in newborns. AIM: The aim study is to establish a reference range for CBC and reticulocyte in healthy term newborns 1 week after birth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study method is prospective analyses of CBC and reticulocyte in term newborns within 1 week after birth. Inclusion criteria are term newborn (gestational age 37–42 weeks) with good tone, breathing, or crying immediately, do not have resuscitation, and the birth weight is ≥2500 g. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy-seven term newborns met the inclusion criteria. There were 145 (52.35%) male infants and 132 (47.65%) female infants. The reference range of newborns for hemoglobin (Hb) at P2.5–P97.5, P3–P97, P5–P95, and mean ± 2 standard deviation (SD) was 11.70–19.60 g/dL, 11.90–19.57 g/dL, 12.20–19.20 g/dL, and 11.35–19.63 g/dL, respectively. In addition, reference range of male newborns for Hb at P2.5–P97.5, P3–P97, P5–P95, and mean ± 2SD was 12.20–20.14 g/dL, 12.28–19.91 g/dL, 12.63–19.38 g/dL, and 11.47–20.15 g/dL, respectively. The reference range of female newborns for Hb at P2.5–P97.5, P3–P97, P5–P95, and mean ± 2 SD was 11.37–19.20 g/dL, 11.50–19.20 g/dL, 11.80–19.20 g/dL, and 11.37–18.93 g/dL, respectively. CONCLUSION: The reference range of CBC and reticulocyte for healthy term newborns, male newborns, and female newborns in this study can be used as a benchmark.

Objectives The objective of this study was to verify the safety of policosanol supplementation for domestic cats. The effects of raw and encapsulated policosanol were compared with positive (L-carnitine) and negative (no supplementation) controls on outcomes of complete blood count, serum biochemistry, energy expenditure, respiratory quotient and physical activity in healthy young adult cats. Methods The study was a replicated 4 × 4 complete Latin square design. Eight cats (four castrated males, four spayed females; mean age 3.0 ± 1.0 years; mean weight 4.36 ± 1.08 kg; mean body condition score 5.4 ± 1.4) were blocked by sex and body weight then randomized to treatment groups: raw policosanol (10 mg/kg body weight), encapsulated policosanol (50 mg/kg body weight), L-carnitine (200 mg/kg body weight) or no supplementation. Treatments were supplemented to a basal diet for 28 days with a 1-week washout between periods. Food was distributed equally between two offerings to ensure complete supplement consumption (first offering) and measure consumption time (second offering). Blood collection (lipid profile, complete blood count, serum biochemistry) and indirect calorimetry (energy expenditure, respiratory quotient) were conducted at days 0, 14 and 28 of each period. Activity monitors were worn 7 days prior to indirect calorimetry and blood collection. Data were analyzed using a repeated measures mixed model (SAS, v.9.4). Results Food intake and body weight were similar among treatments. There was no effect of treatment on lipid profile, serum biochemistry, activity, energy expenditure or respiratory quotient ( P >0.05); however, time to consume a second meal was greatest in cats fed raw policosanol ( P <0.05). Conclusions and relevance These data suggest that policosanol is safe for feline consumption. Further studies with cats demonstrating cardiometabolic risk factors are warranted to confirm whether policosanol therapy is an efficacious treatment for hyperlipidemia and obesity.

Background: In middle-income countries, malnutrition concentrates in marginalized populations with a lack of effective preventive strategies. Objective: Identify risk factors for undernutrition in a peri-urban Ecuadorian community of children aged 12 to 59 months. Methods: Data from a cross-sectional survey in 2011 of children 1 to 5 years were analyzed including demographic data, medical history and examination, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), anthropometric measurements, and blood for complete blood count, C-reactive protein, vitamin A, iron, and zinc levels. Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) was calculated from FFQ. Bivariate and multivariate analysis assessed effects on primary outcome of undernutrition by DDS, vitamin deficiencies, and demographic and nutritional data. Results: N = 67, 52.2% undernourished: 49.3% stunted, 25.4% underweight, and 3% wasted; 74.6% (n = 50) were anemic and 95.1% (n = 39) had low serum zinc. Dietary Diversity Score was universally low (mean 4.91 ± 1.36, max 12). Undernutrition was associated with lower vitamin A levels (20 306, IQR: 16605.25-23973.75 vs 23665, IQR: 19292-26474 ng/mL, P = .04); underweight was associated with less parental report of illness (43.8%, n = 7 vs 80% n = 40, P = .005) and higher white blood count (13.7, IQR: 11.95-15.8 vs 10.9, IQR: 7.8-14.23 × 109/L, P = .02). In multiple regression, risk of undernutrition decreased by 4% for every $10 monthly income increase (95 CI%: 0.5%-7.4%, P = .02, n = 23); risk of underweight decreased by 0.06 for every increased DDS point (adjusted odds ratio: 0.06; 95 CI%: 0.004-0.91, P = .04, n = 23). Conclusions: In this peri-urban limited resource, mostly Indigenous Ecuadorian community, stunting exceeds national prevalence, lower monthly income is the strongest predictor of undernutrition, lower DDS can predict some forms of undernutrition, and vitamin deficiencies are associated with but not predictive of undernutrition.
