Hematological parameters were studied in 163 apparently healthy goats comprised of 3 indigenous breeds at Adami-Tulu Agricultural Research Centre (ATARC) and Sheno Agricultural Research Centre (SARC), Ethiopia. Data were analyzed for the effect of breed, sex, age, and season. Hemoglobin (Hb) was significantly higher (P<0.0001) for Arsi-Bale (AB) than Longeared Somali (LES) and Central Highland ...

BACKGROUND Heterozygous beta thalassemia (HBT) has been proposed to increase the risk of developing autoimmune disease. Our aim in this study was to examine the prevalence of HBT among multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS HBT frequency was investigated in our MS group (243 patients with MS). Hemoglobin electrophoresis (HE) was carried out if MS patients had a mean corpuscular ...

The β-globin gene mutation at codon 37 [TGG (Trp)→TGA (stop codon)] gives rise to a β0-thalassemia that was described first by Boehm et al. in 1986 in a Saudi Arabian family [1]. Thereafter, other nonsense codon 37 mutations have been reported [1,2,3,4]. Another mutation at codon 37 (TGG/TAG; tryptophan→stop codon) has also been reported previously [5,6]. Premature stop of translation results i...

Background: In natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. To our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent Cr on C. carpio hematology. This study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, Cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of triva...

The prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Indonesia 2013-2018 has increased from 0.2% to 0.38%. Patients with CKD have low erythropoietin, so that the production erythrocytes is disrupted and causes anemia. Anemia includes type normocytic-normochromic. Hypochromic occurs because iron reserves cannot be used process erythropoiesis, resulting decreased synthesis hemoglobin. Erythrocytes w...

Research done on 40 patients; 24 males, 20-79 years, and 16 females, 42-67 years; referred to dialysis unit, Baqubah hospital, in November December, 2021; January February 2022. Creatinine, Urea Iron, record high levels. Glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphate, were within normal, low levels of albumin. Means Total Erythrocyte Counts (TECs), hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit% (HCT), Mean Corpu...

When patients have mild microcytic hypochromic anemia with slightly increased hemoglobin (Hb) A2 fraction, the most likely diagnosis is beta-thalassemia heterozygosity. But herein we found a patient who had all these hematological parameters but did not He was 14-year-old Thai presented fatigue and heat intolerance for 2 weeks. His physical examination revealed diffuse enlargement of thyroid gl...

objective data on the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and febrile convulsions are controversial. the aim of this study was to determine the association between iron deficiency anemia and febrile convulsions among children. materials & methods this case-control study was conducted during 2006-2007, on 90 children with febrile seizures (case) and 90 febrile children without seizures (...

Abstract Background Hematological abnormalities are common features in falciparum malaria but vary among different populations across countries. Therefore, we compared hematological indices and between Plasmodium -infected patients malaria-negative subjects Kosti city of the White Nile State, Sudan. Methods A comparative, cross-sectional study was conducted at Clinical Laboratory Unit Teaching ...
