In the present study, we sampled sea bream and bass, weighing 400-450g, for routine microbiological, hematological, macroscopical histopathological examinations. Samples were taken from seemingly healthy fish, which displayed increased feed conversion rates, signs of cold shock slow movement. Routine bacteriological analyses included basic microbiological oxidase catalase activity, Gram stainin...

Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess some hematological parameters of hypertensive individuals in comparison with normotensive ind...

Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder. Deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase results in the intracellular accumulation of undegraded substrates in the spleen, liver and bone marrow. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a standard approach for type 1 GD. Here, we present an adult patient with hematological disorders due to type 1 GD, who markedly impro...
