The qFIT has many advantages over the gFOBt, for example, qFIT is specific to human haemoglobin so is less influenced by diet and medication than gFOBt.

A wide range of drugs can cause immune mediated neutropenia. However, these idiosyncratic reactions only occur in a small number of patients. There are several mechanisms for drug induced antibody mediated neutropenia. One established mechanism occurs when membrane glycoproteins bind to the drug to form a hapten. This causes the formation of antibodies which only bind to granulocytes in the presence of the drug. Quinine, and its stereoisomer quinidine, is known to cause drug dependent antibody formation via this hapten mechanism.

This page provides you with information on how to manage and hopefully ease your back pain. Having back pain can be worrying. Even a minor back strain can be very painful and it’s natural to think that something dreadful might have happened. Your spine is made of solid bony blocks (known as vertebrae) joined by shock absorbing discs that give it strength and flexibility. This is then reinforced by strong ligaments, and surrounded by muscles which provide protection. Most back pain comes from the parts of your back which allow you to move such as the muscles, ligaments, and small joints.
