This is the second most common type of anemia after iron deficiency anemia in the world. Its severity generally correlates with the severity of the underlying disease. This disease most often coexists with chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and kidney failure. Before starting treatment, one should undertake in-depth diagnostics, which includes not only assessment of complete blood count and biochemical parameters, but also severity of the underlying disease. The differential diagnosis of anemia of chronic diseases is primarily based on the exclusion of other types of anemia, in particular iron deficiency. The main features of anemia of chronic diseases include mild to moderate lowering of hemoglobin level, decreased percentage of reticulocyte count, low iron and transferrin concentration, but increased ferritin.

Background: Vancomycin is a drug of choice in the management of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. Nonetheless, vancomycin optimal dosage regimens have, long, been controversial owing to the large between- and within-subject variability in its population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) profile. Objectives: Our primary aim was to better inform vancomycin dosing by providing a comprehensive synthesis of PopPK analyses of vancomycin to determine the most reported models, including the various sources of variability. Methods: Systematic search for vancomycin PopPK studies was conducted on PubMed and EMBASE with a time limit from January of 2011 to May of 2019. In addition, we inspected all relevant lists of references. Results: Thirty analyses met the research criteria and were included in this review. One-compartment and two- compartment models best-described vancomycin PopPK in thirteen and fourteen studies, respectively.

The mechanisms involved in anemia associated to CKD are diverse and complex. They include a decrease in endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) production, absolute and/or functional iron deficiency, and inflammation with increased hepcidin levels, among others. Patients are most commonly managed with oral or intravenous iron supplements and with erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA). However, these treatments have associated risks, and sometimes are insufficiently effective.

  • HIF-Α Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitors and Their Implications for Biomedicine: a Comprehensive Review
    biomedicines Review HIF-α Prolyl Hydroxylase Inhibitors and Their Implications for Biomedicine: A Comprehensive Review Kiichi Hirota Department of Human Stress Response Science, Institute of Biomedical Science, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Osaka 573-1010, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-72-804-2526 Abstract: Oxygen is essential for the maintenance of the body. Living organisms have evolved systems to secure an oxygen environment to be proper. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) plays an essential role in this process; it is a transcription factor that mediates erythropoietin (EPO) induction at the transcriptional level under hypoxic environment. After successful cDNA cloning in 1995, a line of studies were conducted for elucidating the molecular mechanism of HIF activation in response to hypoxia. In 2001, cDNA cloning of dioxygenases acting on prolines and asparagine residues, which play essential roles in this process, was reported. HIF-prolyl hydroxylases (PHs) are molecules that constitute the core molecular mechanism of detecting a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen, or hypoxia, in the cells; they can be called oxygen sensors. In this review, I discuss the process of molecular cloning of HIF and HIF-PH, which explains hypoxia-induced EPO expression; the development of HIF-PH inhibitors that artificially or exogenously activate HIF by inhibiting HIF-PH; and the significance and implications of medical intervention using HIF-PH inhibitors.
