TL;DR: In this article , the authors used restricted cubic spline regression models to determine SF thresholds for iron deficiency using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) 1988-1994.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the association of lung function deficits with inflammatory cytokines and found that children with acute chest syndrome (ACS) had worse lung function than children without ACS.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for quantitative measurement of a fluorescent blood analyte in tissue was proposed, which was further directed to an apparatus for reliable quantitative measurement, including at least one light source, the light source emitting excitation light at least at a first wavelength range between 350 nm and 450 nm to the tissue, and a detection unit (16), the detection unit measuring a portion of the fluorescent light emitted by the fluorescent analyte excited at the first wavelength.

TL;DR: In this paper, a questionnaire was developed that included 6 respiratory symptoms (difficulty breathing, wheezing, fever, cough, runny or stuffy nose, and sore throat) to identify respiratory events for a clinical trial.
