BACKGROUND Platelet count is essential for the diagnosis and management of hemostasis abnormalities. Although existing platelet count methods installed in common hematology analyzers can correctly count platelets in normal blood samples, they tend to miscount platelets in some abnormal samples. The newly developed PLT-F channel in the XN-Series hematology analyzer (Sysmex) has been reported to ...

We evaluated an automated immature granulocyte (IG) count in the peripheral blood with the XE-IG Master (Sysmex Corporation). The XE-IG Master is the upgraded software package for the XE-2100 automated hematology analyzer. Reproducibility tests demonstrated a mean coefficient of variation of 7.02% for the IG percentage (IG%) and 6.93% for the absolute IG count. Correlations of the IG counts wer...

UNLABELLED Our objective was to compare the reticulocyte count and its subfractions in smoking and non-smoking women at different stages of normal pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN In 247 non-smoking and 123 smoking healthy pregnant women the reticulocyte count and its subfractions were compared at four different stages of pregnancy: 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 and 31-40 weeks. Exclusion criteria were a diastol...

Abstract Background Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most common leading global health problems, which could cause extreme fatigue, chest pain, headache, and even neurodevelopment deterioration in children. Traditionally, assessing serum ferritin, transferrin, iron are tools to diagnose IDA. However, a high false-positive rate these conventional biomarkers might be observed due inflam...

immunophenotyping of lymphocytes is very essential for evaluation of immune system. due  to  the  effect  of  environmental  factors  and  ethnical diversity on  immune  system, establishment of an internal normal range of lymphocyte subsets is a necessity for each population.  the  aim  of  this  study  was  to  determine  the  normal  range  of  t  and  b lymphocytes, and nk cells in normal i...

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common inflammatory ulcerative condition of oral cavity. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of the salivary Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and blood parameter in RAS versus healthy controls. Methods: This case-control study consisted of 28 patients with RAS and 28 age and sex -matched control...

Menstruation is the most common phenomenon observed in fertile women. Menstrual cycle (MC) of 3 phases: proliferative phase, secretory phase and menstruation phase. It controlled by endocrine system. Natural fluctuations sex steroid hormones during MC causes changes hematological parameters. The aim present study to assess impact different phases on was conducted KIMS, Hubli, from 01st March 20...

Materials and methods: Couples who intend to marry have to undergo these tests as part of a compulsory countrywide program. In this study, the red blood cell (RBC) indices among the study population were measured with an electronic cell counter (Sysmex K800). Th e survey involved the measurement of 2 RBC indices, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and the resul...

Introduction The Sysmex XN-series haematology analyser has newly adopted a fluorescent channel to measure immature platelet fraction (IPF). To promote the clinical utility of this promising parameter, establishing a reliable reference interval is mandatory. According to previous studies, IPF values may be affected by the employed analyser and the ethnic background of the individual, but no diff...
