objectives: this study aimed to investigate the effect of water-pipe (wp) smoking on hematological parameters of wistar rats. methods: thirty-five young male rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned to five groups (n=7). the control group was exposed to room air and the experimental groups were exposed to wp smoking, using a special apparatus designed to have the ability to keep the rats for 40 ...

diazinon is commonly used for pest control in the agricultural fields surrounding freshwater reservoirs. this study was conducted to determine the chronic toxicity of organophosphorous pesticide and its effects on some hematological parameters and biochemical blood plasma profiles of common carp, cyprinus carpio. diazinon was applied at concentrations of 60 and 120î¼g/l preparations in 10, 20 a...

the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan as immune stimulator on some hematological parameters and stress resistance in rainbow trout. nine hundred rainbow trout (with initial body weight of 25 ± 0.1 g) were obtained from a local farm and acclimated to the laboratory conditions for one week. after that fish were randomly divided into four groups in three replicates. each gro...

Hematological variables change significantly as a pregnancy progresses. Similarly, hematological variables also change significantly 24 h after birth. These changes are partly attributed to blood dilution, nutrition intake during the periods of pregnancy, and bleeding in the process of delivery [1,2]. A thorough understanding of the hematological changes can serve as a guide for disease diagnos...

The aim of the study. Retrospective analysis of indications for splenectomy in hematological diseases, positive effect of this operation and correlations between objective prognostic factors and good response to splenectomy in patients with different hematological indications for splenectomy. Material and methods. 98 adult patients with hematological disorders, who were splenectomised in the ye...

INTRODUCTION Although the survival rates of hematological patients admitted to the ICU are improving, little is known about the long-term outcome. Our objective was to identify factors related to long-term outcome in hematological patients after ICU discharge. METHODS A prospective, observational study was carried out in seven centers in Spain. From an initial sample of 161 hematological pati...

a bstract background: the improved physical action following administration of supplements to bodybuilders was supported by changes in laboratory parameters. despite the fact that these supplements are sometimes associated both advantage and side effects, this study were conducted for the purpose of evaluating the possible effects of some commonly used supplements in bodybuilders on the hematol...

background human t-cell lymphotropic virus types ι and ιι (htlv-ι and htlv-ii) are deltaretroviruses which may cause leukemia, lymphoma and htlv-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (ham/tsp). in addition, htlv-1 may be related to thalassemia and hemophilia cases after blood transfusion. objectives the aim of this study was evaluation of the prevalence of htlvs in patients with he...
