diazinon is commonly used for pest control in the agricultural fields surrounding freshwater reservoirs. this study was conducted to determine the chronic toxicity of organophosphorous pesticide and its effects on some hematological parameters and biochemical blood plasma profiles of common carp, cyprinus carpio. diazinon was applied at concentrations of 60 and 120î¼g/l preparations in 10, 20 a...

An evaluation of several potential factors limiting carbon dioxide excretion by rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) red blood cells was performed in vitro using a recently developed radioisotopic assay. Red blood cell (RBC) CO2 excretion was reduced by pretreatment (30min) of blood with the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acetazolamide (final nominal concentration 1024 mol l21) or the Cl/HCO3 exch...

BACKGROUND Late-appearing anaemia (LAA) following treatment with artemisinins for severe malaria has been reported and well described, but there are limited clinical and parasitological data on LAA in African children with uncomplicated falciparum malaria following oral artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). METHODS This was an open label study with the main objectives of evaluating ...

BACKGROUND Acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (APO) occurs due to an increase in pulmonary microvascular pressure and massive transvascular fluid filtration into the lungs, causing respiratory insufficiency. OBJECTIVE To determine whether fluid sequestration in the lungs effectively leads to contraction of the circulating blood volume, leading to relative hypovolaemia, and whether resolution ...

where v is the total exchanged volume, V is the patient's blood volume and e is the transcendental number, base of the natural logarithm. However, he later stated that his formula was not correct because it did not take into consideration the difference between the patient's haematocrit and that of the transfused blood. Moreover, according to others, even when the two haematocrits happen to be ...

Enhanced erythrocyte sequestration is one of the very few major adverse effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). IVIg contains high molecular weight IgG complexes ( approximately 300 kDa) which, in the presence of serum, mimic immune complexes by activating complement, binding to CR1 of red blood cells (RBC) (CD35) and mediating erythrophagocytosis. Four of seven patients undergoing IVIg t...
