BACKGROUND Malaria and human immunodeficiency virus are the two most devastating global health problems causing more than two million deaths each year. Hematological abnormalities such as anemia, thrombocytopenia and leucopenia are the common complications in malaria and HIV co-infected individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of malaria infection on hematological profiles...

OBJECTIVES Exposure to environmental toxicants/carcinogens, the process of carcinogenesis itself and cancer treatments lead to several secondary pathologies including hematological complications. Considering versatile pharmacological potentials of Azadirachta indica (A. indica), the present study was designed to evaluate its effects on certain hematological parameters in benzo(a)pyrene [B(a)P] ...

PURPOSE Surgical-site complications (SSCs) affect patients' clinical pathway, prolonging their hospitalization and incrementing their management costs. The present study aimed to assess the economic and organizational implications of a portable device for negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) implementation, compared with the administration of pharmacological therapies alone for preventing sur...

Abstract Background Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is a very important procedure in hematology clinics. Clinicians often worry about thrombocytopenia before performing FOB because hemorrhagic complications may occur during and after FOB. We have planned retrospective study thrombocytopenic patients who underwent treated for hematological malignancy. In this study, we analyzed complications, whic...

Invasive mold infections (IMI) are among the most devastating complications following chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with high mortality rates. Yet, the molecular basis for human susceptibility to invasive aspergillosis (IA) and mucormycosis remain poorly understood. Herein, we aimed to characterize the immune profile of individuals with hematological malignanc...

Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is a selective inhibitor of Inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase. Gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances in immature ones are reported for MMF-induced compilations, which in the case of occurrence dose reduction is required. Thus, in the present study, the fructooligosaccharide raftilose(®) (RFT) was co-administrated with MMF to estimate the protective effect of RFT ag...

Measurements of plasma hemoglobin values were made at many different sites of a Cross-Kay disk pump oxygenator during extracorporeal bypass in patients undergoing reparative valve surgery. Hemoglobin values were always higher in the line of the aspirator and defoaming chamber than in any other part of the system. Sampling immediately proximal and distal to the defoaming chamber revealed signifi...

Background: Dengue is an epidemic in Pakistan. Proper monitoring of dengue cases necessary for its early diagnosis and prevention especially developing countries with limited resources. Our study aims to use some hematological parameters as Early Diagnostic Indicators Acute Infection which can help reducing mortality morbidity.
 Methods: NS1 Antigen test was used identify 119 Patients over...

Results: Three hundred sixty-five (46%) patients were male and 422 (54%) were female. Mean age was 32 (range: 11-78 years). Mean hematological values were as follows: Hb 12 g/dl (4-19), Htc 36% (12-56), leukocyte 6.9 × 10/L (0.5-25) and platelets 213 × 10/L (9-617). According to differential counts, 34% and 14% of patients had mononuclear cell and neutrophil dominance, respectively. Fifty-six p...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused the outbreak of viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, December 2019. It is principally identified with respiratory and pulmonary manifestations. However, based on various reports, COVID-19 infection not only affects system but also infects other organs. Cardiac manifestations, gastrointestinal complications, liver dysfunction, musculoskeletal disorders,...
