introduction: cardiac dysfunctions have been well known in patients with major thalassemia. some studies have focused on differences in blood pressure and heart rate between these patients and normal population, while this view has not been proven in other studies. given the importance of hemodynamic factors in the health of these individuals, we intend to test the hypothesis as to whether or n...

The present case-control study comprises of newly diagnosed and histologically confirmed, 50 head neck cancer cases between 2021-2022 in the Department Otorhinolaryngology Head Neck Surgery, Tishreen University Hospital, Lattakia, with 25 healthy controls. Fasting blood samples were collected lipid profile studied compared groups terms mean standard deviation.

Objective. To assess the effectiveness of a commercial nutrition program in improving weight, blood lipids, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Methods. Prospective observational study with followup after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months with data from questionnaires and blood samples. Subjects. After 12 months, we had data from 524 subjects (= 60.6% of the initial samples). 84.1% of the subjects...

It is well documented that Hb S and iron affect blood cells, and trigger oxidative processes and generation of free radicals with potential for lipid peroxidation. We evaluated the frequency of polymorphisms in the HFE gene in Hb AS blood donors and how these polymorphisms influenced lipid peroxidation and antioxidant capacity. Blood samples were collected from 211 Hb AS blood donors, 119...

t a t t Background. Microembolism during cardiopulmonary ypass has been suggested as being the predominant ause of neurocognitive disorders after cardiac surgery. hed blood, normally retransfused into the patient durng cardiopulmonary bypass, is a major source of lipid icroemboli in the brain capillaries. A newly developed echnique based on acoustic standing-wave separation of articles in fluid...

Objective(s): Evaluation of nanomaterials interaction with blood ingredients is a part of preclinical risk assessment of newly-synthesized materials, especially for nano-sized pharmaceuticals which are intravenously administrated. The red blood cells (RBCs) are susceptible to oxidative stress damage. This study was designed to evaluate induced oxidative hematotoxic effect of na...
