Introduction: Low-energy helium-neon (He-Ne) laser beam lightis used in combination with sodium hypochlorite (Na2HOCl3) for clinical purposes. Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and sodium hypochlorite on the calf thymus double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ctdsDNA) molecule.  Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, ctdsDNA...

Alpha-thalassemias are characterized by decreased hemoglobin alpha chain synthesis; alpha-zerothalassemia being the condition where no normal alpha globin is produced, and alpha-plus-thalassemia being the condition where there is reduced globin production. There are two alpha globin genes per haploid genome, and alpha thalassemia abnormalities can result from one to four gene deletions. A singl...

Iron-deficiency anemia (IAD) in children is the most common among other types of anemia. It is commonly presented in children aged between 6—36 months than at other age groups, according to a report. Pediatric iron-deficiency anemia might involve multiple etiological factors including low birth weight, nutritional deficiency, and gastrointestinal blood loss. Diagnosis is made on the basis of de...

OBJECTIVE Different indices and formulas of CBC parameters have been suggested as indicators of early stage screenings to detect couples with β-thalassemia minor (BTMi). In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of five previous published formulas and compared them to our new formula (│80-MCV│×│27-MCH│) in screening of β-thalassemia. METHODS All couples in the premarital β-thalassemia screenin...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In a routine community health survey conducted in adult Adivasis of the costal Maharashtra, microcytosis and hyprochromia were observed in more than 80 per cent of both males and females having normal haemoglobin levels suggesting the possibility of α-thalassaemia in these communities. We conducted a study in Adivasi students in the same region to find out the magnitude ...
