Environmental pollution plays a destructive role in the daily life of industrialized communities and due to their negative impact on the society they are always under close investigation.  Besides well-known pollutants substantial, all major international health organizations consider noise pollution as an important health problem.In this study, we have used an animal model to study the effects...

The blood in sickle cell anemia has a very low oxygen affinity and, although 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) is increased, there is doubt as to whether this is the only factor responsible. In this study of 15 patients with sickle cell anemia (Hb SS) no correlation was found between oxygen affinity (P(50) at pH 7.13) and 2,3-DPG in fresh venous blood. Whole populations of Hb SS erythrocytes wer...

We examined the extent to which the intracellular polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) can account for the severity of anemia and of vaso-occlusive manifestations in the various sickling syndromes. Polymer formation in sickle cell disease depends principally on the intraerythrocytic hemoglobin composition and concentration. In our studies, the polymer fraction in sickle red cells was deter...

During capillary transit, red blood cells (RBCs) must exchange large quantities of CO2 and O2 in typically less than one second, but the degree to which this is rate-limited by diffusion through cytoplasm is not known. Gas diffusivity is intuitively assumed to be fast and this would imply that the intracellular path-length, defined by RBC shape, is not a factor that could meaningfully compromis...

Background: In natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. To our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent Cr on C. carpio hematology. This study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of triva...

It is shown that diabetes can change hematological parameters and some microalgae, i.e. Spirulina platensis, could improve hematological parameters in non-diabetic rats. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Spirulina platensis (SPM) microalgae on hematological parameters in diabetic rats induced by Streptozotocin. Rats, 2.5 males old, were grouped into two sections includ...

The present study was aimed with study the haematological alteration in Fasciola hepatica infected goats. The study duration was one year in which summer, rainy and winter season included. Total 60 goats were included for this study. Goats were divided in two groups one was slaughter house and second was house hold. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein into evacuated EDTA tubes and st...

Objective The assessment of an easy to prepare and low cost control material for Hematology, available for manual and automated methods. Material and Method Aliquots of stabilized whole blood were prepared by partial fixation with aldehydes; the stability at different temperatures (4. 20 and 37 °C) during periods of up to 8-9 weeks and aliquot variability with both methods were controlled. Resu...

Cancer is a cellular change caused by uncontrolled cell growth and division. This disease develops from the of abnormal cells that have potential to invade or spread other parts body. The aim this study was investigate relationship between blood parameters (e.g., Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), hemoglobin (MCH), Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Haemoglobin (HGB), White Blood Cell (WB...
