The present study was aimed with study the haematological alteration in Fasciola hepatica infected goats. The study duration was one year in which summer, rainy and winter season included. Total 60 goats were included for this study. Goats were divided in two groups one was slaughter house and second was house hold. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein into evacuated EDTA tubes and st...

Because we recently observed two patients with severe diabetic hyperglycemia and spuriously elevated electronically determined hematocrit and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), we investigated the effect of hyperglycemia on two popular automated hematology systems, the Coulter S and Ortho ELT-8. Marked hyperglycemia (blood glucose 800--2000 mg/dl) caused consistent overestimation of the electronica...

Background: Ramadan fasting is an obligation for many Muslims around the world who abstain from eating and drinking for one month, which has different medical and physiological effects, such as reducing blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose, and body weight. It has also been hypothesized that Ramadan fasting may induce some changes in the hematologic parameters. Thus, we aimed to investi...

BACKGROUND Animal data suggest that maternal iron deficiency during pregnancy leads to lower birth weight and sustained blood pressure elevation in the offspring. In humans, iron deficiency during pregnancy is common and is associated with adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight. Data are lacking, however, regarding the effects of maternal iron intake and iron status during pregnancy on...

BACKGROUND Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter of the complete blood count (CBC) test. Recent evidence suggests that pretreatment RDW is associated with patient survival in various malignant tumors. We explored the association of pretreatment RDW and other red blood cell (RBC) parameters with clinical parameters and assessed their prognostic impact on overall survival (OS) in...

Abstract Introduction Complete blood count parameters have gained renewed interest as predictors of endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thus, the aim this study was to observe changes platelet and erythrocyte between diabetics nondiabetics evaluate these relation glycemic control. Materials Methods This cross-sectional performed Mohammed VI University Hospital, Marrakech...

BACKGROUND Iron deficiency is common in early childhood and has been associated with developmental delay. It is not known how reliably markers of iron deficiency identify true iron deficiency, defined as a therapeutic response to oral iron. METHODS The subjects were members of the Millennium Baby Study cohort. At age 13 months a venous blood sample was taken for mean cell volume (MCV), haemog...

Background: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a complex condition with no clear aetiology. There are inconsistent reports of abnormal red cell indices and variations in some immune cell subsets in CFS patients. Aim: Toexaminehaemato logical and immunological indices and the frequency of irregularities. Methods: Full blood counts and immune cell subsets of 24 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome individuals and 1...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the changes in selected hematology and serum biochemistry of Angora cats (Felis catus) during growth period. A total of 32 Angora cats (16 adults and 16 kittens) were used in this study. Blood samples were collected from the animals, and were analyzed for white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular volume...

Original scientific paper The aim of this study was to determine and evaluation chronic effects of plyometric training on hematological parameters of the Turkish National Alpine Ski Team athletes during 12-week preparation period. In the study 12 sportsmen volunteers participated whose mean age was 17.50 years. Twelve weeks plyometric training protocol performed to participants. The training pr...
