Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling for the purpose of therapeutic drug monitoring can be an attractive alternative for conventional blood sampling, especially in children. This study aimed to compare all costs involved in conventional sampling versus DBS home sampling in two pediatric populations: renal transplant patients and hemato-oncology patients. Total costs were computed from a societal per...

This study aimed to compare the hemato-biochemical parameters in cats suffered from FLUTD with those of healthy cats, and evaluate inflammatory process by measuring serum amyloid A, alpha-1-Acid glycoprotein, plasma fibrinogen concentrations. Cats frequently suffer feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), which causes acute renal failure, electrolyte buildup, acid-base imbalance. Acute-phase...

Background: Since it is well-established that lead exposure can have negative effects on hematological, biochemical, and hepatic parameters, a significant number of research efforts been focused antioxidants are capable treating as well preventing these alterations. Objective: The purpose this study was to explore the influence Ocimum Gratissimum (OG) extract hemato-biochemical parameters liver...

The growing demand for high-quality food has induced a rapid expansion of the aquaculture sector. On other hand, this sector to overcome numerous challenges and problems triggered by adoption intensive farming systems, such as stress high susceptibility diseases. improper use chemicals antibiotics led development antibiotic resistance in fish, with consequent health risks consumers. Natural add...

AIM The objective of the present study was to compare serum as well as follicular fluid (FF) biochemical and hormonal profiles along with hematological parameters in postpartum estrus, anestrus, and cystic buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Postpartum buffaloes were selected in three different groups (within 40-60 days of parturition at estrus-Group-I, postpartum >90 days at anestrum-Group-II, ...

The present study was undertaken to find out the efficacy of vitamin E and/or vitamin C against mercury (Hg) induced toxicity in mice. Sixty mice were randomly divided into 5 equal groups (n=12). One group of mice (Group A) was kept as control and each of rest four groups (B, C, D and E) were fed with mercuric chloride (HgCl2) in drinking water @ 65 mg/L. In addition to HgCl2 alpha-tocopherol (...

Received: Revised: Accepted: June 19, 2013 November 09, 2013 November 21, 2013 The current study was designed to probe pathological effects of colistin in growing broilers. One hundred twenty day-old broiler chicks were divided into six equal groups A-F. These birds were injected colistin sulphate, 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg BW respectively through intramuscular route. The different serumbio...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in hemato-biochemical indices in male and female Vanaraja chickens under tropical environment during summer and winter season. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 day-old sexed Vanaraja chicks were selected as experimental chickens and distributed equally in two groups having 60 female and 60 male chickens in each group, respectivel...

Experiments were performed to investigate the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) in reducing hemato-biochemical changes in pack donkeys during the cold-dry (harmattan) season. Six experimental donkeys administered orally AA (200 mg/kg) and six control donkeys not administered ascorbic acid were subjected to packing. Blood samples were collected from all donkeys for hematological and biochemical analy...

Deltamethrin is a broad-spectrum insecticide mainly used to protect crops, fruit and vegetables from mites, ants, weevils, beetle etc. Thus deltamethrin contaminated food of commercial poultry diet may cause toxic effects in broilers and indirect adverse effects on human through food chain. Therefore, hematological and biochemical alterations in White Leghorn birds due to deltamethrin induced t...
