Haemorheological changes in African breast cancer patients.

Several studies have indicated the existence of thrombo-embolic complications in cancer patients and that this could be associated with changes in heamorheological parameters. Packed cell volume (PCV), heamoglobin (Hb), relative plasma viscosity (RPV) and plasma Fibrinogen concentration (PFC) were measured in 50 healthy control women, 50 age-matched women with breast cancer, and 10 women with h...

CURRENT SCIENCE, VOL. 82, NO. 2, 25 JANUARY 2002 191 *This paper is dedicated to Dr. R. Natarajan For correspondence. (e-mail: [email protected]) tuitum and M. parafortuitum have three clusters of mycolic acid peaks. The majority of the test isolates were identified as M. terrae, which has only two clusters, similar to M. diernhoferi. The good agreement between our HPLC results and thos...

haemorheological changes associated with cigarette smoking

A prospective study was undertaken to establish the haematologicakand haemorheological changes associated with long standing cigarette smoking in 20 heavy smokers and to assess whether any such changes were reversible after smoking was stopped. Highly significant differences were observed in whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, plasma fibrinogen concentrations, packed cell volume, and carbo...

Haemorheological Changes in Cancer Patients on Chemotherapy

Objective: To assess the rheological changes in haematological and non-haematological cancer patients’ pre and post chemotherapy. Patients and Method: It is a prospective study of 50 patients comprising 16(32%) haematological and 34(68%) non-haematological cancers of various types from March to December 2005 at University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. Rheologic parameters estimated by th...
