Journal ArticleDOI

Screening healthy infants for iron deficiency using reticulocyte hemoglobin content.

TL;DR: Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) is a more accurate hematological indicator of iron deficiency compared with hemoglobin of less than 11 g/dL in these healthy 9- to 12-month-old infants and is associated with subsequent anemia when screened again in the second year of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reticulocyte cellular indices: a new approach in the diagnosis of anemias and monitoring of erythropoietic function.

TL;DR: Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) may allow prompt identification of an imbalance between r-HuEPO therapy and iron availability by detecting the presence in reticulocytes of iron-restricted erythropoiesis and Response to therapy of megaloblastic anemia can be monitored with CHr.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxygen Gas–Filled Microparticles Provide Intravenous Oxygen Delivery

TL;DR: An injectable foam suspension containing self-assembling, lipid-based microparticles encapsulating a core of pure oxygen gas for intravenous injection that significantly decreased the degree of hypoxemia in rabbits and lived longer and did not experience any injury to major organs, such as liver and lungs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Failure of red blood cell maturation in mice with defects in the high-density lipoprotein receptor SR-BI

TL;DR: It is proposed that autophagocytosis and phagolysosome expulsion are essential steps in erythroid maturation and that expulsion is inhibited in the presence of markedly increased cellular cholesterol.
