BACKGROUND Running economy and performance in middle distance running depend on several physiological factors, which include anthropometric variables, functional characteristics, training volume and intensity. Since little information is available about hematological predictors of middle distance running time, we investigated whether some hematological parameters may be associated with middle d...

Red blood cell (RBC) storage lesions have been shown to be associated with some adverse reactions; numerous studies have focused on the lesions caused by storage, and few data on the RBC storage lesions caused by prestorage treatments of leucocyte filtration and irradiation. In this study, we examined the changes related with the RBC storage lesions, including 2,3-diphosphatidylglyceric acid (2...

Rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii (mean length 14.53 ± 1.14 cm and mean weight 38.36 ± 3.45 g), were exposed for 4 weeks with the different levels of ammonia in the concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L at 19 and 24 °C. The indicators of growth performance such as daily length gain, daily weight gain, condition factor, and hematosomatic index were significantly reduced by the ammonia exposure...

background: in natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. to our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent cr on c. carpio hematology. this study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of trival...

The effect of fresh, photo-activated and distilled cow urine was examined on the hematological parameters pathogen-induced albino rats using automated analyzer. were grouped into 3 (A, B C) 2 controls; with each group containing 5 rats. Each animal induced 0.5mL Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli Salmonella typhi respectively. After 7 days infection, treated for period days. infected P. a...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that affects red cells. The study was conducted in Elobied town during the period May 2011 to September 2011. aim of this detect abnormalities leucocytes among sickle anemic patients. 40 patients; age range between 8 months 23 years. Blood sample taken for all patients and laboratory investigation were performed using automated estimation...

Hematological traits, which are important indicators of immune function in animals, have been commonly examined as biomarkers of disease and disease severity in humans and animals. Genome-wide significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) provide important information for use in breeding programs of animals such as pigs. QTLs for hematological parameters (hematological traits) have been detected i...

The impact of sublethal toxicity of sodium arsenite on hematological and certain biochemical parameters of the fresh water catfish Clarias batrachus has been analyzed following exposure of sublethal concentration (1 mg/L; 5% of LC50 value) of sodium arsenite for 10, 30, 45, and 60 days. Arsenic bioaccumulation in the blood tissue of the fish increased progressively with increased period of expo...

BACKGROUND HIV infected children experience a range of hematological complications which show marked improvement within 6 months of initiating anti-retroviral therapy. The Objectives of the study was to describe the changes in hematological indices of HIV-1 infected children following 6 months of treatment with first line antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) regimen. METHODS A retrospective study was ...
