4,696 | 7,257 | Folate status assessment.
This paper is a review of established methods of folate status assessment and the primary factors that increase the risk of folate deficiency, including physiological life cycle changes.
The first stage of folate depletion can be assessed by measuring serum folate levels, which drop prior to... | C13 |
4,697 | 3,770 | Utility of angiograms in patients with catamenial hemoptysis.
Pulmonary endometriosis is the likely cause in patients with hemoptysis during menses.
