Persistent organic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are of global concern because their widespread contamination adverse health effects. Potential endocrine disruption, especially thyroid status by PCBs has been repeatedly suggested in both experimental epidemiological studies. However the associations with PBDEs or OCPs have arguable human populations. We investigated between major groups POPs...
Background Several studies have suggested potential links of phthalates to obesity in children and adults. Limited evidence, however, has been available for the relations between diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) obesity-related markers or body mass change early life. Methods 128 healthy pregnant women were recruited and, after delivery, their newborns’ first urine umbilical cord blood samples collected. We measured urinary levels two DEHP metabolites, mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) (MEHHP)...
Severe iron deficiency resulting in anemia is a common problem during pregnancy and menstruating women. Several choices for IV replacement therapies exist increased pressures on budgets may require cheaper 'iron sucrose similar' (ISS) to be used. In our practice, an similar (Ferex; ISS(FRX)) was introduced reduce costs the treatment of pregnant women or those planned surgery. Post several months use we observed rates adverse events from patients hence performed this analysis confirm these...
Current knowledge on adverse endocrine disruption effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) among newborn infants is limited and often controversial. To investigate the associations between prenatal exposure to major POPs thyroid hormone levels infants, both cord serum or maternal concentrations polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were compared with five hormones in as well TSH bloodspot collected at 2 day after...
Abstract Background Patient blood management (PBM) describes a set of evidence-based practices to optimize medical and surgical patient outcomes by clinically managing preserving patient’s own blood. This concepts aims detect treat anemia, minimize the risk for loss need replacement each through coordinated multidisciplinary care process. In combination with loss, anemia is main driver transfusion all three are independent factors adverse including morbidity mortality. Evidence demonstrates...
Abstract Aim To compare ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) with iron sucrose (IS) for the effective and timely treatment of preoperative deficiency anemia (IDA) in women menorrhagia. Methods This open‐label, multicenter, two‐arm study randomized patients to receive either a single dose FCM or multiple doses IS. The primary endpoint was proportion who achieved hemoglobin (Hb) levels ≥10 g/dL within 2 weeks after first administration. Secondary endpoints included mean Hb levels, time reach quality...
We performed a post-hoc subgroup analysis in Korean women who participated the Phase III FER-ASAP (FERric carboxymaltose-Assessment of SAfety and efficacy Pregnancy) study to compare safety ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) with oral ferrous sulfate (FS). Pregnant (gestational weeks 16–33) iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) were randomized 1:1 FCM (n = 46; 1000–1500 mg iron) or FS 44; 200 iron/day) group for 12 weeks. The primary objective was mean hemoglobin (Hb) increase at week 3; secondary...
An instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) technique has recently been used specifically to inhibit hypertonic muscles and lengthen muscle fiber shortness. However, it is unknown whether IASTM will show such promising inhibition effec
Tamoxifen has been widely used for adjuvant treatment of breast cancer, but several gynecological side effects have noted, including endometrial hyperplasia, polyp and carcinoma. Polypoid endometriosis is one the extremely rare benign complications associated with tamoxifen therapy. A 66-year-old postmenopausal woman, who had received left partial mastectomy due to cancer (about 4 years ago) was taking treatment, an ovarian cyst on ultrasonography. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging suggested...
Exposure to several persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been linked alteration of lipid metabolism. Adipokines, such as leptin and adiponectin, are hormones that play roles in metabolism, have suggested markers health effects may lead obesity. To date, only serum adipokines associated with POPs exposure. In the present study, for first time, associations between adiponectin breast milk, were investigated among 82 lactating Korean women 25 46 years age. Breast milk important because...
BACKGROUND Hip arthroplasties are strongly associated with blood transfusion to compensate for perioperative bleeding. The purpose of this study was evaluate the trends in hip arthroplasties, using nationwide data supplied by National Health Insurance Service. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We used from claims database Review Assessment managed Service were identify 161,934 under three categories, including bipolar hemiarthroplasty, total arthroplasty, and revision 2007 2015. rates, amounts,...
To investigate the clinical characteristics and medical management of transgender people in South Korea.The electronic records 54 persons who had visited Soonchunhyang University Hospital from January 2016 to December 2017 for care were retrospectively reviewed. We identified patient demographics gender identity-related characteristics. Moreover, we compared our hospital protocol with official guidelines.At time record search, average age these 52 was 27 years, 46 (88.5%) Korean. Ten (19.2%)...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder associated with an increased risk of other gynecological disorders, such as endometrial hyperplasia (EH). However, substantial factors in the comorbidity EH and PCOS remain to be investigated. We analyzed trend changes related using data from Korea National Health Insurance (KNHI) claims database.The for this population-based study people diagnosed or 2009 2016 were collected KNHI database between 2007 2017. conducted analysis...
Blood transfusions may be associated with risks and the risk: benefit ratio is not always clear, even in setting of haemorrhage.To describe management practices outcomes women profound anaemia who refused blood transfusion.Retrospective analysis over a 10-year time frame severely anaemic (Hb <50 g/L) benign conditions had requested to receive transfusion. Demographic data, clinical presentation, practice serious adverse events were collected from medical record charts. Women analysed two...
