Introduction Thalassemia is a group of genetic disorders resulting in the decreased production of globin chains, alpha or beta, leading to the decreased production of hemoglobin (Hb). For the heterozygous state, it can be recognized by the microcytosis of its red blood cell or the decreased mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of less than 80 fL. For alpha-thalassemia-1 or alpha(0)thalassemia traits, ...

The hematocrit is one of the main factors influencing platelet adherence to the vessel wall. Raising the hematocrit causes an increase of platelet accumulation of about an order of magnitude. Our studies concern the role of red cell size. We have studied this effect using an annular perfusion chamber, according to Baumgartner, with human umbilical arteries and a steady-flow system. Normal human...

environmental pollution plays a destructive role in the daily life of industrialized communities and due to their negative impact on the society they are always under close investigation.  besides well-known pollutants substantial, all major international health organizations consider noise pollution as an important health problem. in this study, we have used an animal model to study the effect...

Background: The abundance of nutrients, vitamins, and fiber in breadfruit has been documented many literature studies that can hardly be exhausted are consumed majorly by the Igbos other southern parts Nigeria to ameliorate hunger.
 Aim: This study however was aimed at determining effect feeds fortified with grilled, preboiled, cooked on hematological indices wistar rats.
 Methods: He...

Malachite green is an extensively used biocide in the aquaculture industry world-wide. It has been widely used due to lack of a proper alternative. Pyceze, however, is a pharmaceutical alternative to malachite green, with bronopol as its active ingredient. The catfish Heteropneustes fossilis were exposed for four days to 1/5th of LC50 values of each of malachite green (0.24mg/l) and Pyceze (0.4...

The ability of a clonal hematopoiesis-supportive bonemarrow stromal cell line GBlneor to engraft and alter the microenvironment-induced anemia of SI/Sl ’ mice was studied. Prior to stromal cell transplantation. SI/SId mice received 1 Gy total body irradiation (TBI) and 1 3 Gy to the right hind limb. Two months after intravenous (IV) injection of 5 x 1 GBlneor cells. 54.4% ± 1 7.0% donor origin ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether diploid and triploid sea bass differed in terms of main haematological and physiological characteristics. Diploid and triploid fish were produced by sub-optimal pressure treatments and held in communal environments under standard rearing conditions. Total red blood cell count (RBCC), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), mean cell v...
