Background: The prevalence of anxiety disorders is increasing in the world. Studies revealed that generalized disorder may lead to change platelet size, volume and functions. Thus, changes indices increase future risk thrombotic diseases patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Aim: To evaluate (total count platelet, mean volume, distribution width, plateletcrit) levels disorder. Mater...

itp is an autoimmune blood disorder in which platelet destruction is mediated by anti-platelet antibodies. the mechanisms of anti-platelet antibodies development are still a little known. the rate of some bacterial or viral agents in cause of itp is well known. recently, some study proposed that h pylori infection may be associated with itp and h pylori eradication can improves platelet counts ...

introduction: homeopathy can be applied to treat various diseases and conditions such as cancer, allergy, mood disorders, headache and pain. this case showed that homeopathic medicine can be a treatment modality for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp), an autoimmune-mediated hematologic disorder. case presentation: the patient was a 5.5–year-old child with itp who referred to the homeopat...

A qualitative abnormality of platelet function should be considered in patients with mucocutaneous bleeding in the absence of thrombocytopenia or von Willebrand disease. Antiplatelet drugs are the most common cause of acquired platelet disorders leading to bleeding. Uremia, hepatic cirrhosis, myeloma and related disorders, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and cardiopulmonary bypass...

BACKGROUND Many reports have appeared on associations between platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity and susceptibility to psychiatric conditions; principally alcohol dependence but also conduct disorder, other drug use and depression. Recently, it has become apparent that MAO activity is inhibited by some component of cigarette smoke, and smokers have low platelet MAO activity. Since the pr...

Thrombocytosis,a common hematologic finding can present as incidental finding and pose a great diagnostic challenge. Thrombocytosis can be due to reactive process or due to clonal disorder. Platelet count more than 1,000x10/mm is usually caused by clonal disorder. Reactive causes like Iron deficiency anemia rarely lead to platelet counts more than 700x10/mm. Here we report a case of a young wom...

mediastinal neoplasms are uncommon tumors that can occur at any age but are most common through the fifth decades of life. a wide variety of systemic disorders are associated with 71% of thymomas. the symptoms of these as sociated disorders often lead to the original discovery of the mediastinal tumor. a 35-year-old female with petechia and purpura was admitted to sina hospital of the city of h...

Jacobsen syndrome (JS) is a rare, inherited disorder, characterized by facial and skull dysmorphism, mental retardation, and platelet abnormalities. Paris-Trousseau syndrome (PTS) is a platelet function disorder that may be encountered in patients affected by JS. PTS is manifested by a mild lifelong bleeding tendency. Morphologically, the presence of large fused platelet alpha granules is chara...
