BACKGROUND Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies in the setting of profound neutropenia and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Early diagnosis and therapy has been shown to improve outcomes, but reaching a definitive diagnosis quickly can be problematic. Recently, galactomannan testing of bronchoal...

the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan as immune stimulator on some hematological parameters and stress resistance in rainbow trout. nine hundred rainbow trout (with initial body weight of 25 ± 0.1 g) were obtained from a local farm and acclimated to the laboratory conditions for one week. after that fish were randomly divided into four groups in three replicates. each gro...

Plasmodium falciparum malaria is the most common infection in Yemen. The present study aims to investigate changes in hematological and hepatic function indices of P. falciparum infected individuals. This study included 67 suspected falciparum malarial patients attended in clinics and rural Abs Hospital (Tehama, Hajjah), Yemen, from October 2013 to April 2014. The diagnosis of malaria was confi...

Vol. 1(21) TRENDS IN SPORT SCIENCES 39 Objectives. Capillary blood sampling is less invasive than venous blood sampling; it is also often used in diagnosis of athletes. The hematological parameters are useful for general health assessment and adaptation of the athlete’s body to physical activity. Methods. The study was carried out on 40 healthy athletes (21 females and 19 males). Resting venous...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate heat tolerance using heat tolerance indices, physiological, physical, thermographic, and hematological parameters in Santa Ines and Morada Nova sheep breeds in the Federal District, Brazil. METHODS Twenty-six adult hair sheep, one and a half years old, from two genetic groups (Santa Ines: 12 males and 4 females; Morada Nova: 7 males and 3 female...

objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of opium on the number of peripheral blood cells and red blood cells (rbcs) indices in diabetic rats. materials and methods peripheral blood samples were collected from diabetic, opium-addicted, diabetic opium-addicted and normal male and female rats and hematological parameters were measured. results the mean number of whi...

In our earlier study, we have noticed the antistressor effects of ethanol extract of as leaves on noise induced changes in plasma corticosterone level (5). Hence, in this study, it was decided to evaluate the effect of ethanol extract of as leaves on the changes in total count (TC) and differential count (DC) of leucocytes in albino rats subjected to noise stress, because, the hematological par...
