PATTERN OF MALIGNANT TUMORS IN KERMAN PROVINCE
From March 1980 to March 1989 a total number of 2254 (7.6%) new malignant cases from Kerman province were diagnosed by examination of surgical specimens, blood films and bone marrow smears. The crude relative frequency of cancers was studied and compared with other areas of Iran. Gastric (11.36%) and urinary bladder (7.01 %) carcinomas were significantly more common in Kerman province than...
متن کاملBody Mass Index, Haemoglobin, and Total Lymphocyte Count as a Surrogate for CD4 Count in Resource Limited Settings
Background. In view of the lack of evidence on the possibility of an economically viable, easy, and readily available biomarker to substitute the traditional role of CD4 counts in HIV disease progression, this study seeks to investigate the potential use of body mass index (BMI), haemoglobin (Hb), and total lymphocyte count (TLC) as surrogate biomarkers for monitoring the disease. Methods. This...
متن کاملcorrelation between total lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and cd4 count in hiv/aids patients
lymphocyte cd4 + count, a standard laboratory test for staging of hiv infection, is expensive and unavailable in resource-restricted countries. total lymphocyte count (tlc) and hemoglobin (hb) are recommended as simple & inexpensive surrogates. the aim of this study was to assess the correlation, sensitivity and predictive power of these parameters as substitutes for cd 4 count. one hundred hiv...
متن کاملTotal lymphocyte count and subpopulation lymphocyte count in relation to blood bicarbonate concentration in peritoneal dialysis patients.
Metabolic acidosis negatively influences dietary intake, increases protein catabolism, and deteriorates nutritional status. In the present study, we evaluated in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients whether parameters of blood acid-base equilibrium influence total and subpopulation lymphocyte counts (TLC, SLCs), which are markers of the immunologic and nutritional status of dialyzed patients. Stud...
متن کاملPrevalence of Malignant Soft Tissue Tumors inExtremities: An Epidemiological Study in Syria
Background: Although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. Because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.The purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...
