BACKGROUND Sickle cell anemia patients suffer from oxidative stress due to chronic inflammation and self-oxidation of sickle hemoglobin (Hb S). Chronic oxidative stress contributes to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and multiple organ damage in sickle cell disease (SCD). Thus, antioxidant medication may favorably influence the disease. Gum Arabic (GA), edible, dried, gummy exudates from A...

OBJECTIVES To compare two hematological analyzers-the DxH-800 (DxH; Beckman-Coulter, Miami, FL) and XN-2000 (XN; Sysmex, Kobe, Japan)-with the Cell-Dyn Sapphire (SAPH; Abbott, Santa Clara, CA). METHODS We analyzed 4,375 samples. Slide reviews were made in the presence of blast, abnormal lymphocyte, and immature granulocyte (IG) flags or nucleated RBC (NRBC) count. RESULTS The analyzers exhi...

purpose : to assess and to compare stromal and endothelial changes at the cellular level in patients who had photorefractive keratectomy (prk) and laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) using in vivo confocal microscopy methods : in this semiexperimental study, 32 eyes of 16 patients (4 males and 12 females) with low to moderate myopia [-1.00 to -4.50 diopters (d)] or low to moderate myopic astig...

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by major changes in the coagulation and fibrinolytic system. The study was aimed at assessing degree of system patients with type 2 diabetes North-central Nigeria. This a hospital based comparative Cross-sectional involving 78 diabetics healthy controls. Full blood count performed using Sysmex XP 300 according to manufacturer’s instructions. Prothrombin time d...

Introduction: There is a high prevalence of hemoglobinopathies, including thalassemia, in Sistan and Baluchistan province Iran. It important to appropriately screen young adults control the birth new cases thalassemia. In many less-equipped centers, this practice only relies on cell blood count. This study investigated hematological parameters referring Central Laboratory Sistan, Zabol, for pre...

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 wi...

An increase in immature granulocytes (IG) in peripheral blood is of great importance for the diagnosis of hematological malignancies. Furthermore, it may indicate systemic inflammation. IGs are usually quantified by visual microscopy; however, recent studies have evaluated automated IG count on the DIFF channel and IG detection on the IMI channel of the Sysmex XE-2100 automated hematology analy...

GOALS Automated flowcytometric analysers are used to analyse complete blood count (CBC) in most patients. They differentiate WBC depending on their size, internal granularity, and nuclear content by producing various scattergrams. In malaria, haemozoin pigment-containing cells (parasitized RBC and phagocytic cells) are able to depolarize the laser beam and therefore exhibit abnormal scattergram...

The pandemicity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) necessitated its novel biomarkers in prognosis and monitoring low resource settings. Changes total white blood cell counts have been associated with the progression diseases. This study determined prognostic value some cellular inflammatory cells their indices relation to duration hospital admission, gender, age COVID-19 patients. longitudi...
