Our nation’s capacity to eradicate racial disparities in men’s health—and thereby abolish the “third-world” health status of black men—depends significantly on our ability to acknowledge all of the root causes of health inequality and to put into place effective policies and interventions to address them. Rising to this challenge requires a vigorous, sustained and multidimensional [...]

Platelet Parameters in Women with Iron Deficiency Anemia: DISCUSSION
Platelet counts were increased when serum iron, iron saturation, ferritin and mean platelet volume were decreased in this study. There was an inverse relationship between platelet counts and iron saturation, but no relationship between platelet counts and studied other iron parameters was noted. Moreover, there was no relationship between the iron parameters such as serum [...]

Platelet Parameters in Women with Iron Deficiency Anemia: RESULTS
Patients Eighty-six women of mean age 37 ± 13 (16-70) years with IDA were enrolled. In the etiology of IDA, chronic gastrointestinal blood loss due to hemorrhoid, peptic ulcus, polyp and vaginal blood loss due to myoma uteri; and dysfunctional hemorrhage of uterus were detected in 38 and 44 patients, respectively. Any cause was not [...]

Platelet Parameters in Women with Iron Deficiency Anemia: MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients This study was performed at Adnan Menderes University Medical Faculty, Division of Hematology, Aydin, Turkey. Eligible female patients with IDA were enrolled in this prospective study. The inclusion criteria were: hemoglobin level <12 g/dL, serum ferritin level <15 |ng/L, iron saturation <16%, and correction of anemia after iron supplementation. Patients with acute hemorrhage and [...]

Platelet Parameters in Women with Iron Deficiency Anemia
INTRODUCTION Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common hematological disorder in the community. In IDA, several changes in platelets have been reported. So, a relationship between iron metabolism and thrombopoiesis should be considered. A diphasic pattern of platelet response was noted in patients with IDA. Moderate IDA is usually associated with reactive thrombocytosis. Thrombocytopenia [...]

Duloxetine in the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder: DISCUSSION
The current analysis describes efficacy and safety data from depressed African-American patients (n=128) who participated in seven clinical trials of duloxetine 30 mg/day of up to nine weeks duration. Comparisons of treatment effects in these African-American patients with those observed in Caucasian patients (n=1342) found no compelling evidence of differential efficacy or safety profiles between [...]

Duloxetine in the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder: Safety
Discontinuation rates. In analyses of pooled data from all seven studies, the rate of discontinuation due to adverse events among African-American patients (generic duloxetine 13.0% vs. placebo 3.4%) was similar to that observed in Caucasian patients duloxetine 17.0% vs. placebo 5.7%). Other events leading to early study discontinuation among duloxetine-treated patients included loss to follow-up [...]
