BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an emerging tool to assess organ-specific iron load in patients with transfusion dependent anemia. OBJECTIVE: We performed MRI T2 star (T2*) assessment in 44 transfusion dependent patients to study the ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 INTRODUCTION: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) predicts adverse cardiac outcome in patients undergoing vascular surgery. However, several conditions might influence this prognostic value, including anemia. In this study, we ... Read more...
13 Oct 2009 Risk factors associated with respiratory failure during respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection have not been assessed in adults. We identified RSV by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in 58 adults during the 2007-2008 ... Read more...
