Hematopoiesis and Serum Iron Changes Following Vincristine Sulfate

Hematopoiesis and serum iron changes following vincristine sulfate.

Erythrocyte changes, serum iron concentration and performance following iron injection in neonatal beef calves.

The injection of iron-dextran into beef calves at an early age immediately increased values for erythrocyte (RBC) numbers, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), even though the calves were not anemic. There were no significant differences in average daily gain (ADG) from birth through 15 wk between those tha...

Pressor mechanism of vincristine sulfate.

Studying the pharmacological activities of vincristine sulfate (VCR), one of the alkaloids isolated from Vinca rosea Linn. by Svoboda et al. (1), Anderson et al. (2) observed the pressor, positive chronotropic and re spiratory stimulating effects in dogs. Since no action mechanisms of these pharmacological effects were reported, the authors attempted to clarify its pressor mechanisms. Pressor e...

Preventing vincristine sulfate medication errors.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To review the clinical pharmacology of vincristine sulfate, describe three types of medication errors associated with its use, and suggest strategies for vincristine sulfate medication error prevention. DATA SOURCES Published books and journal articles, online newsletters and documents, pharmaceutical manufacturers package inserts, and personal experience. DATA SYNTHESIS ...

Serum Changes following Thyroparathyroidectomy

1. In thyroparathyroidectomized dogs the onset of tetany bears no constant relation to the ferment-antiferment balance of the serum. 2. The serum lipase titer remains at a low level throughout. 3. A progressive increase in non-coagulable nitrogen and proteoses is observed in the serum following the removal of the glands. 4. The amino nitrogen of the serum is usually increased at the time when t...
