Polycythemia vera is a clonal disorder arising in a multipotent hematopoietic progenitor cell that causes the accumulation of morphologically normal red cells, white cells, platelets, and their progenitors in the absence of a definable stimulus and to the exclusion of nonclonal hematopoiesis.1,2 First described in 1892,3 polycythemia vera is not a new disease and while uncommon, with an inciden...

Aloe vera has been used worldwide in pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries due to the plethora of biological activities of its constituents. This study was done to evaluate the effects of dietary aloe vera on growth and lipid peroxidation in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). A total number of 480 O. mykiss (mean weight 9.50 ± 0.85 g) were randomized into four experimental groups inclu...

BACKGROUND With introduction of many herbal medicines, dentistry has recently evidenced shift of approach for treating many inflammatory oral diseases by using such modalities. Aloe vera is one such product exhibiting multiple benefits and has gained considerable importance in clinical research recently. AIM To compare the efficacy of Aloevera and Chlorhexidine mouthwash on Periodontal Health...

234 Abstract— The growth and health status of plants can be accessed from the electrical properties of its limbs such as leaves and stem. Present investigations were carried out to study the electrical impedance of Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe-vera) leaves for investigating the effect of external ac current on its tissues Impedance was estimated over the frequency ranging from 500 Hz to 20 kHz...

aloe vera is a tropical plant belonging to the liliaceae family. it has beneficialeffects in variety of diseases. the aim of this study was to formulate a topical cream from a. vera with wound burn healing effect and to perform its clinical trial. a total of 30 patients (20 males and 10 females in the age range of 20-50 years) with second degree burn wounds on their both hands were selected for...

objective(s): this study was aimed at investigating the synergy effects of aloe vera gel and silver nanoparticles on the healing rate of the cutting wounds. materials and methods: in order to determine the concentration of silver nanoparticles in aloe vera gel, the mbc methods were applied on the most common bacteria infecting wounds, staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, pseudomonas aerugin...

Polycythemia vera is a prototype and also the most common of the four classical myeloproliferative disorders—chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Our understanding of the last three disorders has lagged behind in comparison to our understanding of the molecular basis of CML, which led to the development of t...

Polycythaemia vera is associated with thrombotic phenomenon due to hyperviscosity of blood. Splenic infarction with splenomegaly is a catastrophic complication usually requiring splenectomy. We describe a case of splenic infarction as an initial manifestation of polycythaemia vera which was treated with serial phlebotomies and hydroxyurea alone, without the need for surgery.

The occurrence of polycythemia vera in a father and son, both of whom had intermittent exposure to organic solvents, including tetrachloroethylene and Stoddard solvent, is reported. Only three other well substantiated familial occurrences of polycythemia vera, none encompassing successive generations, were found among many reported instances.

The regulation of erythropoiesis was control cultures. Erythropoietin was studied in patients with polycythemia ineffective in stimulating iron incorpovera and chronic granulocytic Ieukeration into heme in five patients with mia (CGL). An in vitro culture system polycythemia vera. The marrow rewas employed to determine the response to erythropoietin in vitro was sponse of bone marrow cells to e...
