background because of varying reports, there is still need to investigate the impact of wrestling on hematological indices. objectives we investigated differences in the basic hematological indices in wrestlers compared to sedentary controls. patients and methods the blood samples containing anticoagulant were collected from 12 male elite wrestlers (age = 24 ± 1.2 years, weight = 76 ± 5 kg) wit...

This study was performed to define the correlation between the level of consciousness based on Glasgow coma scale ( GCS), Glasgow outcome scale( GOS) and leukocyte count. Two hundred and thirty three patients ( female: 48, male: 185) ranged between 1-75 years old were studied. The results showed that there was a negative correlation between increasing leukocyte count and  GCS ( n=233.r= .0.3, p...

By multivariate analysis of nine laboratory variables, a discriminant function value has been derived that differentiated between a group of 106 drug abusers and a group of 100 normal controls.The variables were serum phosphorus, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, and hematocrit, total leukocyte count, polymorphonuclear leukocyte count, lymphocyte count, and monocyte co...

Introduction: Leukocytes causing a wide variety of side effects after transfusion are present in all blood products prepared by standard methods. As a consequence, the use of filter technology for leukoreduction has been widely practiced .According to AABB accreditation in 1996, leukoreduced blood components must contain less than 5×106 leukocytes per unit, but sometimes this value is higher ev...

OBJECTIVE To study the role of leukocyte count in patients with unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction (Acute Coronary Syndrome) its prognostic significance and correlation with plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. METHODS A total of 143 Patients with unstable angina pectoris, non-ST segment elevation MI and ST segment elevation MI were considered for entry into the study...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between intraventricular hemorrhage and blood leukocyte count. Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional simple sampling study conducted from the beginning of 2006 to 2010 in Ali-Asghar Children’s Hospital. Inclusion c...

A number of studies have shown total leukocyte count to be a risk factor for ischemic heart disease, but there is little information on the role of the individual types of leukocyte, and the role of smoking is controversial. The Caerphilly and Speedwell studies recruited 4,860 men aged 45-63 years between 1979 and 1983 in South Wales and the West of England, respectively. At the 10-year follow-...

BACKGROUND Acute appendicitis is a common surgical emergency. Diagnosis may be difficult with little help from radiological and laboratory investigations. Total leukocyte count is one of the helpful investigations, being evaluated in this study. METHODS The patients presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain whom were diagnosed as having acute appendicitis and later underwent appendi...

I N THE EVENT of atomic warfare, those charged with the medical service will be confronted with large numbers of radiation victims. One problem will be to identify those whose radiation injury is severe enough to require medical care. Because of the large number of people involved and the primitive conditions in devastated areas, a relatively simple and rapid sorting procedure should be availab...
