Cord blood full blood count parameters in Lagos, Nigeria
INTRODUCTION Full blood count (FBC), one of the most frequently requested for laboratory investigations, is a simple, fast and cheap test and is a reliable indicator of health. Due to its usefulness in the assessment of health status of individuals, its parameters in cord blood, a major source of haemopoietic stem cell transplantation and an ideal source for laboratory investigations for newbor...
متن کاملIdentification of inflammatory phenotypes of asthma by blood analysis and clinical parameters
Background Identification of an inflammatory asthma phenotype currently requires sputum induction. This technique is invasive, has a high variability, is time-consuming and a burden for patients. Therefore, there is a strong need for a routine blood test to establish the inflammatory phenotype of asthma. We designed a clinical cohort study (AIR-study, NCT01611012) in 115 asthma patients visitin...
متن کاملComplete blood count parameters for healthy, small-for-gestational-age, full-term newborns.
No previous study has investigated the full range of complete blood count (CBC) parameters in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) newborns. The main aim of this study was to compare CBC and peripheral smear parameters in term, healthy SGA neonates and appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) neonates, and to establish CBC reference values for full-term SGA newborns. One hundred thirty-two healthy, ter...
متن کاملStability of inflammatory phenotypes in asthma.
While asthma has long been recognised as a heterogeneous disease, recent interest has concentrated on the identification of phenotypes based on the pattern of inflammation in the airways. The application of induced sputum as a non-invasive ‘inflammometer ’ has facilitated this process, resulting in the recognition of apparently distinct ‘eosinophilic’ and ‘non-eosinophilic’ phenotypes. The char...
متن کاملFull blood count pattern of pre-chemotherapy breast cancer patients in Lagos, Nigeria
Background: Full blood count has been shown to predict disease severity and mortality risk in cancer patients. This study aimed to highlight the degree of derangements of full blood count parameters and provide mean values in pre-chemotherapy breast cancer patients compared with apparently normal control subjects.Methods: This was an unmatched case-control study among breast cancer patients att...
