Many pediatric liver recipients become infected with Epstein-Barr virus post-transplant, probably because the latent virus is in lymphocytes in the graft or in blood derivatives. Immunosuppressants taken to control rejection change the children’s normal immune response to the virus, leading in some cases to uncontrolled lymphocyte B proliferation.

The hemoglobin A1c test (HbA1c), based on a blood sample, is widely used to keep tabs on how well confirmed diabetics keep their blood sugar, or glucose, in check by showing how much glucose red blood cells have been exposed to for the past 120 days, the average lifespan of these cells.

"The test is a measure of long-term glucose control, but doctors don’t typically use it to screen for or diagnose the disease, " says Christopher Saudek, M.D., professor of endocrinology and metabolism at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the Johns Hopkins Comprehensive Diabetes Center.

Women who live near highways or city expressways have higher odds of delivering low birth-weight babies, with affluent women at the greatest risk, say Canadian and Australian researchers.

Researchers at the University of Montreal, the Institut national de santé publique du Québec and the University of South Australia studied almost 100,000 live single births in Montreal between 1997 to 2001 in which mothers lived within 200 metres of a highway.

Mothers residing within 200 metres of a highway were found to have 14 per cent increased odds of pre-term birth and 17 per cent increased odds of low birth weight, compared with mothers who did not live close to a highway.

But they also found that the percentage of affluent mothers in this group delivering low birth-weight babies was far higher.

“Among affluent mothers who live within 200 metres of a highway, the odds of delivering an infant with low birth weight increase by 81 per cent, while their odds of delivering a pre-term baby increase by 58 per cent compared to mothers who don’t live anywhere close to expressways,” said Dr.
