The response of sickle cells with varying water content to alterations in oxygen tension has been studied. Cells that were severely dehydrated while sickled retained the characteristic sickled morphology even after prolonged reoxygenation. When the cell water content was increased by reduction of the suspending medium osmolality, the cells unsickled. Cells that were dehydrated before deoxygenat...

Remarkably little has been published on hematological phenotypes of the domestic dog, the most polymorphic species on the planet. Information on the signalment and complete blood cell count of all dogs with normal red and white blood cell parameters judged by existing reference intervals was extracted from a veterinary database. Normal hematological profiles were available for 6046 dogs, 5447 o...

Channa punctatus was exposed to four different concentrations of Rutin, Taraxerol and Apigenin. Changes in some hematological parameters of Channa punctatus were assessed to determine the influence of these compounds on test fish. Fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations (80% of LC50 of 24h) of these compounds for one week. Control fish were also administered for one week. Thereafter, bloo...

the present study investigated the effects of acute toxicity of malathion on behavioral and haematological parameters in the cyprinid capoeta damascina . the specimens were collected from the kordan river, karaj, iran in august, 2014 and were exposed to different concentrations of malathion at the laboratory (24, 48, 72 mg l ‑1 ) based on 96h-lc (10; 30; 50; 90) which was 6.08 (5.22-7.18) mg l ...

Because of discrepancies between electronically and manually measured values of mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) encountered in studies of pathologic red cells, we studied the effect of cell water content on MCHC measurements by both methods. A series of red cell samples with varying water contents (54%-164% normal) were prepared from normal cells using the antibiotic nystatin. MCHC wa...

We characterized a large Amish pedigree and, in 384 pedigree members, analyzed the genetic variance components with covariate screen as well as genome-wide quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage analysis of red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin (HB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell di...

BACKGROUND The identification of in vitro hemolysis (IVH) using a hematology analyzer is challenging because centrifugation of the specimens cannot be performed for cell counts. In the present study, we aimed to develop a scoring system to help identify the presence of hemolysis in anticoagulated blood specimens. METHODS Thirty-seven potassium EDTA anticoagulated blood specimens were obtained...
