J Strength Cond Res 27(12): 3506–3514, 2013—The aim of this study was to profile hematological, immunological parameters male athletes who practiced sports determine whether the type influenced measured parameters. Eighteen karate professionals, 15 wrestlers, 14 kickboxers participated study. iron-related, were at beginning a...

Despite the effectiveness of HAART in controlling HIV‐1 replication, emergence drug‐resistant viruses infected patients and severe side effects caused by currently used drug regimens lack an effective vaccine necessitate continued search for new therapeutic strategies prevention therapy HIV disease. Previously we reported that natural autoantibodies, recognizing peptide FTDNAKTI (peptide NTM1) derived from C2 domain gp120, contribute to control Here demonstrated sera well‐trained athletic...

The most frequent cause of death in hemodialysis patients is cardiovascular disease with chronic inflammation being an epidemiologically proved risk factor. Many studies have shown C-reactive protein (CRP) as the strongest predictor long-term mortality patients, while other reports indicated acute phase proteins potential predictors mortality. present study therefore aimed to evaluate prevalence and role together lipids divalent ions for predicting patients. Chronic was defined, based on...

Prediction of veno-occlusive disease (VOD), its precise diagnosis, and treatment have been the subject various studies, but still remain unclear. Our goal was to investigate levels activated coagulation fibrinolysis markers natural anticoagulants in pediatric patients with VOD after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We investigated 47 patients: 20 neuroblastoma, 17 leukemias, 10 lymphomas measured values antithrombin (AT), protein C (PC), fibrinogen (FI), thrombin AT complex,...

Summary Introduction The aim of this study was to establish the sensitivity and specificity microcytic anemia factor (Maf ® ), which is generated by C oulter LH 750 analyzer in evaluation iron depletion iron‐deficient erythropoiesis athletes.

Background There is convincing evidence from numerous clinical and epidemiological studies that physical activity can reduce the risk for breast prostate cancer. The biological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain elusive. Herein we suggest a role naturally produced antibodies reactive with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in suppression of cancer, which believe could offer possible molecular mechanism control these cancers by exercise. Methodology Results We found sera...
