HCV prevalence lower in Iran vs. other Middle Eastern countries
Compared to other Middle Eastern countries, Iran has the lowest #HCV prevalence. Despite the wide range of #infection rates in Iran's provinces, "the strict program of HCV infection screening prior to transfusion, which started in Iran in 1996" may have been the biggest factor for the overall low prevalence

Dad in icu after 3 weeks
Hello. My dad fell off a stair rail from 4 meters. He also has a mechanical valve. He broke two ribs and suffered internal bleeding. He was operated 2 times, the first time to clean up the cavities and cure the chest lesions, the second time because of a blood vessel that broke because of coagulation

Stanford Plasma Study
Tomorrow I fly to Palo Alto to have my first two plasma transfusions, the first given to a PD patient in the world I’m told. I don’t know how long it may take to see if there is any response to the plasma. The results in mice and people with Alzheimer’s has been positive. The next 6 transfusions

I've been on the combined pill loestrin 20 for 4 years. I started it as I'd had heavy periods all my life but they became very heavy in 2010 and I struggled for 2 years with horrific mid cycle pain. Horrific long periods that caused flooding. I was struggling and terrified to stand up as I'd feel a

Advice before apt with doctor tomorrow please?!
I was 2 weeks overdue for my recent B12 injection and I saw a new nurse. She spoke to a doctor and advised me that they would not give me the injection without checking my B12. The B12 level has come back as 'normal' so they have decided to cease my treatment. I have asked to speak to the doctor and

I Lost 10 Babies In Miscarriages and Stillbirth
I was four when my parents discovered that my genotype is SS. As an adolescent growing up with Sickle Cell Disease, finding a man that would marry me was my greatest worry. I met my husband in 2007 after the completion of my first degree. I confirmed that his genotype is AA before I became committed.
