Evaluation of the Formulae Based on Red Blood Cell Indices in Differentiating Between Iron Deficiency Anemia and Beta Thalasemia Minor

Background and Aims: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and beta thalassemia minor (BTM) are the most common hypochromic microcytic anemias, and it is regarded important to differentiate between them. several formulae can be taken into consideration based on red blood cell (RBC) parameters in order to distinguish between these two disorders. Hence, the present study intended to evaluate the sensitivi...

True Anemia―Red Blood Cell Volume Deficit―in Heart Failure

One of the clinical characteristics of untreated heart failure (HF) is fluid accumulation leading to hemodynamic and eventually symptomatic clinical congestion. Fluid retention in HF is primarily orchestrated by the activation of baroreceptors, sympathetic nervous system, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, and vasopressin axes. Fluid retention is interpreted as a compensatory response aiming...

The Effect of Erythropoietin on Rat’s Red Blood Cell Indices in Simulated Microgravity (Experimental Study)

Purpose: Microgravity causes major changes in various systems of the body in space, such as shift in cerebrospinal fluid, decreased red blood cells count, and electrolyte loss. These complications are very important in space and we should find new approaches to prevent the side effects of microgravity in astronauts. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 21 adult ma...
