BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Previous studies on Danqi Piantan Jiaonang (DPJ, NeuroAid), a traditional Chinese medicine, in stroke patients showed promising results. Our aim was to determine the safety of DPJ in normal subjects and stroke patients through a series of studies assessing its immediate and long-term effects, alone and in combination with aspirin, on hematological, hemostatic, and bioch...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the serum total protein, glucose, liver, kidney and haematological response varied levels of exogenous L-Selenomethionine (L-SeMet). Twenty four male rabbit bucks, about 10 months old were randomly allotted treatments in a completely randomized design. Blood samples collected at day 21 42 from bucks processed for haematocrit, haemoglobin, erythrocytes, ...

background: the challenge of antiepileptic drugs (aeds) management is to attain the best compromise between the desire to maximize seizure control and the need to keep side‑effects within tolerable limits for the individual patient. to reduce devastation in iranian epileptic patients, the aim of this study was to explore the overall outcome following aeds prescription. methods: a cross‑sectiona...

introduction: cupping therapy (hejamat) is one of the therapeutic methods used in traditional medicine that it is still common in many of the contemporary societies. in spite of the progress of science, we have less information on the traditional and alternative medicine including cupping.   with the study of mechanism of action of cupping, it will be more convincing for the traditional medicin...

objective(s): this study aimed to determine the possible toxicity of cuo nanoparticles (nps) on oncorhynchus mykiss by evaluating hematological parameters.materials and methods: fish were sampled and treated in 4 aquariums containing the concentration ranges of 1, 5, 20 and 100 ppm of cuo nps. there was one control group (no cuo nps) and three replicates. the physicochemical properties of water...

BACKGROUND Central venous access devices are used for chemotherapy and other medication administration, blood product administration, parenteral nutrition, and for obtaining blood samples in patients where the vasculature is difficult to access. Patients may need additional blood samples prior to invasive procedures and when clinical situations arise during cancer care. In addition, monitoring ...

CHROMagar Staph. aureus (CSA) is a new chromogenic medium for presumptive identification of Staphylococcus aureus as mauve colonies after 24 h of incubation. We conducted a preliminary study with 100 S. aureus and 45 coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) stock isolates plated on CSA. All S. aureus isolates yielded mauve colonies after 24 h of incubation at 37 degrees C, while CoNS isolates g...

Managing hematological disorders in a tropical country presents several unique diagnostic and management problems. Apart from the disease process, we need to be aware of infections that can exacerbate or mimic serious hematological problems. We present here a series of five patients with pre-existing hematological diseases who were infected by dengue virus. These cases highlight the need to kee...

The application of the latex test for the detection of Australia antigen (Au-Ag) was investigated. Reagents from two commercial sources were compared with the electrophoresis method with regard to sensitivity and specificity using samples from blood donors, hospital patients, and plasma fractions. Discordant results were further investigated by electron microscopy and radioimmunoassay. Differen...
