Objectives Blood collections from peripheral intravenous catheters offer several benefits to patients, including reduced needle punctures and patient discomfort, but they risk reducing the quality of blood specimens analyzed by the laboratory. In an effort to balance analytical quality of test results with patient-centered care initiatives, a needle-less blood collection device called PIVO™ was...

BACKGROUND Shock absorbing insoles are effective in reducing the magnitude and rate of loading of peak impact forces generated at foot strike during running, whereas the foot impact force during running has been considered to be an important cause of intravascular hemolysis in long distance runners. Objective of this study was to evaluate the intravascular hemolysis during running and compare t...

We report hemolysis due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) deficiency in two Egyptian monozygotic brothers, at the onset of diabetes type 1. Hemolysis occurred following the treatment of hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis (one twin). It was related to unknown G-6-PD deficiency. The fall in glucose availability after the treatment of hyper glycemia is proposed as a possible etiology for h...

The literature indicates that acute pancreatitis is a complication of massive hemolysis with a prevalence of about 20%. We describe an experimental model of hemolysis-induced acute pancreatitis. Hemolytic anemia was induced in rats by a single ip injection of 60 mg/kg of 20 mg/ml acetylphenylhydrazine (APH) in 20% (v/v) ethanol on the first experimental day (day 0). One hundred and fifty Wistar...

In this work the effect of aspirin on stability rat blood erythrocyte membranes was studied, using acidic hemolysis method. Hemolysis rate erythrocytes shown to depend preservation time suspension. With increasing original value optic density suspension decreases and reduces. It also that in presence membrane low-stable increases, moreover, duration enhances, while leads decreasing both high-st...

Ten consecutive patients with myeloysis. One patient had a positive sucrose fibrosis were examined for the following hemolysis test and low red cell ACHE. signs of PNH: Ham’s test, the sucrose The remaining patients had no signs of hemolysis test, low red cell acetylcholinPNH. In two of the patients, the PNH esterase (ACHE) activity and intrasigns disappeared after splenectomy. The vascular hem...
