Purpose: Several studies have been done on the effects of fasting on human health indicating the beneficial effects of fasting on weight control, lipid metabolism, and lowering blood pressure in healthy people. The present study aimed at investigating the effects of Ramadan fasting on apolipoproteins A and B (apo A and B) and the atherogenic index of the fasting and non-fasting students. Metho...

A line of White Leghorn chickens was selected for high group productivity and longevity resulting in improved survival and feather score as well as reduced cannibalism and flightiness. Improvements in survival might have also been due to improved immunity. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that selection for high (HGPS) and low (LGPS) group productivity and survivability als...

Physiological parameters of laboratory animals used for biomedical research is crucial for following several experimental procedures. With the intent to establish baseline biologic parameters for non-human primates held in closed colonies, hematological and morphometric data of captive monkeys were determined. Data of clinically healthy rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), cynomolgus monkeys (Maca...

PURPOSE We investigated association of hematological variables with specific fitness performance in elite team-sport players. METHODS Hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) was measured in 25 elite field hockey players using the optimized (2 min) CO-rebreathing method. Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]), hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were analyzed in venous blood. Fitness per...

Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) is defined as anemia occurring in chronic infections, inflammatory conditions or neoplastic disorders that are not due to marrow deficiencies or other diseases, and occurring despite presence of adequate iron stores and vitamins. The main underlying reason for ACD is previous chronic inflammation or infection. The present study was conducted to evaluate and compa...

The present study was carried out to assess the toxicological effect of acetamiprid, an insecticide of neonicotinoid group on clinical and serum hematobiochemical parameters of mice. The experimental animals were divided into four different groups of equal number of animals and the first group was considered as Control. It was found that acetamiprid administered @ 40 mg/kg body weight per day (...

Background and Objective. Some in vitro diagnostic devices (e.g, blood collection vacuum tubes and syringes for blood analyses) are not validated before the quality laboratory managers decide to start using or to change the brand. Frequently, the laboratory or hospital managers select the vacuum tubes for blood collection based on cost considerations or on relevance of a brand. The aim of this ...

INTRODUCTION Although the survival rates of hematological patients admitted to the ICU are improving, little is known about the long-term outcome. Our objective was to identify factors related to long-term outcome in hematological patients after ICU discharge. METHODS A prospective, observational study was carried out in seven centers in Spain. From an initial sample of 161 hematological pati...
