Background: Exposure to environmental toxins such as organophosphates poses a great threat to the health of the public. In this work, we investigated the effects of continuous exposure to dichlorvos (DDVP) on kidney function and hematological parameters, and the possible antidote activity of Nigella sativa oil (NSO). Methods: This research was conducted in 2016, at The Animal Holding and Resea...

the objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplemented selenium (se) on plasma cortisol, red blood cell glutathione peroxidase activity (rbc gsh-px-1), concentration of immunoglobulin g (igg) and body weight in pneumonic suckling calves. ten holstein suckling male calves were randomly allocated to two groups and fed either unsupplemented milk (control) or with milk supplemente...

Fluorescence flow cytometry enhances analytical possibilities beyond the normal 5-part differential by providing excellent cluster resolution and separation of abnormal blood cells. A nucleated red blood cell count (NRBC) and an immature granulocyte count (IG) are part of an extended differential on the xe systems with the potential to improve the diagnostic usefulness of the routine 5-part dif...

A 24-year-old male presented with abdominal pain, fever, and palpable splenomegaly. His differential count revealed myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and nucleated red cells. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed a diagnosis of hepatosplenic gamma delta T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. We describe here our center's diagnostic and treatment approach for this rare leukemia.

p65 is a transcription factor that is involved in many physiological and pathologic processes. Here we report that p65 strongly binds to the miR-23a-27a-24 cluster promoter to up-regulate its expression. As bone marrow-derived cells differentiate into red blood cells in vitro, p65/miR-23a-27a-24 cluster expression increases sharply and then declines before the appearance of red blood cells, sug...

A 55-year-old man with history of kidney transplantation years ago because of diabetic nephropathy has severe ophaceous gout. He has been unable to tolerate treatment ith allopurinol because of worsening skin rashes. His last erum creatinine level was 2.3 mg/dL (203.3 mol/L). urrent medications include tacrolimus, mycophenolate ofetil, and prednisone at a dose of 20 mg/d orally. He resents to t...

Intense research has been carried out into methods that aim at harvesting fetal cells from maternal blood as substitutes to amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. Although much has been accomplished using well established techniques, a rapid and inexpensive method to separate fetal cells with great accuracy and efficiency to maximize cell yield is still required. This work focuses on the ...
