Reference normal hematological values have been documented for various domestic animals under various climatic/geographical conditions; however there is a dearth of information in the literature concerning these values for camels kept in desert. The present pilot study was conducted to establish reference normal range of salient hematological parameters in clinically healthy camels (30 males an...

Problem statement: Aluminum (Al) is an indifferent element from a toxicological point of view. In recent years, however, Al has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several clinical disorders. One of the most frequently described problem in aluminum toxicity is anemia. The present study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of Camel’s milk in alleviating the toxicity of aluminum chlo...

The lack of mechanistic explanations for many genotype-phenotype associations identified by GWAS precludes thorough assessment of their impact on human health. Here, we conducted an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) mapping analysis in erythroblasts and found erythroid-specific eQTLs for ATP2B4, the main calcium ATPase of red blood cells (rbc). The same SNPs were previously associated ...

background febrile seizures (fs) are the most common type of convulsion in young children. the predisposing factors are still under investigation; however, iron insufficiency might play a role in this regard. objectives our objective was to determine the association between iron status and febrile seizure. patients and methods this prospective case-control study was conducted among 109 children...

Hookworm infection is associated with anemia, especially among children and deworming can improve anemic status; however, little information is available about the degree to which anemia improves after deworming. We chose hookworm-endemic rural areas of Thailand, Nan Province in the north, Kanchanaburi Province in the west and Nakhon Si Thammarat Province in the south, to evaluate this problem....

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes and readjustment capacity in the hematological characteristics of the horse during and after a prolonged training program. One pony and two hot-blooded horses were used in this study. Resting or basal blood parameters were assessed by collecting blood samples of the animals for 1 to 2 months prior to start of the training program. Each anima...

For a given organism, relevant information about the internal environment can be easily accessed by its hematological profile. Chloramphenicol being a potent broad spectrum antibiotic is used readily in eyed drop formulations and is also in food industry. In the present study, varying doses (750, 1500 and 2250 mg/kg B.Wt) of Chloramphenicol (CAP) was administered orally as single daily dosage f...

Techniques now available for the study of plasma disappearance kinetics of isotopically labeled unconjugated bilirubin have led to new insights into the factors that determine the plasma unconjugated bilirubin concentration (BR). This variable can be shown to depend in turn on five other parameters: the total circulating red cell volume (TRVC), the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCH...
