Although physical exercise strongly influences several laboratory parameters, data about the hematological changes after medium distance running are scarce. We studied 31 middle-trained athletes (mean training regimen 217 ± 32 min/week) who performed a 21.1 km, half-marathon run. Blood samples were collected before the run, at the end, and 3 and 20 hours thereafter. The complete blood count was...

for intensive rearing of fish with minimal losses, it is necessary to be aware of health status of fish. blood variables are useful criteria for showing physiological disturbances in intensively farmed fishes and can provide important information for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. the aim of the present study was to show hematological parameters in haematological evaluation is gradually b...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency is still considered the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and the most significant negative consequence of iron deficiency is iron deficiency anemia (IDA). This study elucidates if IDA among healthy women of child bearing age could be predicted by various iron parameters, using serum ferritin as a gold standard. METHODS Between January and June 2009 at pr...

The osmotic swelling of intact erythrocytes in hypotonic solutions was measured using microhematocrit tubes, Van Allen tubes, and a calibrated Coulter counter. In agreement with earlier workers the intact cells did not behave as perfect osmometers, the cells swelling less than predicted by the Boyle-van't Hoff law. Erythrocyte ghosts were prepared from fresh intact erythrocytes by one-step hemo...

Nasal polyposis represents as a chronic hyperplastic sinusitis associated with chronic inflammation. In present retrospective study, we aimed to compare the Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) values of patients with nasal polyposis to those in healthy subjects. We included 35 nasal polyp patients and 45 healthy subjects into th...

E RYTHROCYTE MACROCYTOSIS has been observed commonly in association with chronic liver disease; estimates of its frequency vary from 37 to 75 per cent.1'2 That the large erythrocytes, as seen on blood films, are a heterogeneous group was recognized by Bingham, who distinguished three types: " thick macrocytes, " " thin macrocytes " and " target macrocytes. " 3 His observations suggested that " ...

OBJECTIVE Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortalityinthe first trimester of pregnancy. EP can be treated either medical or surgical approches. The purpose of our study wasto predict the treatment choice of tubal EP by usinghematologic parameters which are routinely used in clinical practice. METHODS After retrospectively data evaluation was done from Januar...

BACKGROUND Macrocytosis occurs in chronic hemodialysis (CHD) patients; however, its significance is unknown. The purpose of this study was to establish the prevalence and distribution of macrocytosis, to identify its clinical associations and to determine if macrocytosis is associated with mortality in stable, chronic hemodialysis patients. METHODS We conducted a single-centre prospective coh...

When patients have mild microcytic hypochromic anemia with slightly increased hemoglobin (Hb) A2 fraction, the most likely diagnosis is beta-thalassemia heterozygosity. But herein we found a patient who had all these hematological parameters but did not He was 14-year-old Thai presented fatigue and heat intolerance for 2 weeks. His physical examination revealed diffuse enlargement of thyroid gl...
