Elevated leukocyte counts can be a marker of inflammation and infection. The aim of this study was to determine the total leukocyte count and neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) among Helicobacter pylori-infected patients with peptic ulcer disease (PU) and among asymptomatic subjects (AS) and to evaluate if there is an association between these lab values and the presence of the H. pylori ...

An analytical study was conducted to find out the diagnostic accuracy of leukocytosis in predicting acute appendicitis in patients undergoing emergency appendicectomy. The degree of inflammation of the resected specimens was grossly assessed and graded into acute inflammation, acute inflammation with complications (such as gangrene, perforation, abscess) and un-inflamed appendix. The operative ...

Objectives: To establish the sensitivity and specificity of the white cell count using auto analyzer in patients presenting with acute appendicitis. Material and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad; from March 2010 to February 2011. All adult patients with acute appendicitis undergoing emergenc...

This paper reports the four-part differential leukocyte count (DLC) of human blood using a MEMS microflow (flow) cytometer. It is achieved with a two-color laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection scheme. Four types of leukocytes including neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes and monocytes are identified in blood samples, which are stained by fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium ...

Introduction: Physical activity has a positive effect on the regulation of diabetes mellitus and been shown to have benefits in improving health. Aim: Examine effects physical changes glycemic parameters (glucose, HbA1C) inflammatory (leukocyte count (WBC), CRP) before one month after exercise program. Material Methods: The study was designed as prospective, analytical, observational study. Res...

Today's automated hematology analyzers capable of performing a full CBC and a differential leukocyte count (DLC) on whole blood, particularly in a closed tube system, using cytochemistry or impedance-based flow cytometry technology coupled with laser light scattering, conductivity and/or differential cell lysis, are here to stay. Their need and popularity among at least the large, cost and qual...
