Haematological traits are important traits that show associations with immune and metabolic status, as well as diseases in humans and animals. Mapping genome regions that affect the blood cell traits can contribute to the identification of genomic features useable as biomarkers for immune, disease and metabolic status. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using PorcineSNP60 Bead...

Patients with miliary tuberculosis accompanied by a pancytopenia rarely survive their disease. If the peripheral blood picture does recover it has been taken as an indication that there is no underlying haematological disease, and so re-examination of the bone marrow is not performed. A case is described where resolution of the pancytopenia occurred but a persisting haematological disease remai...

Pearson syndrome (PS), a rare multisystem mitochondrial disorder caused by single large-scale DNA (mtDNA) deletions (SLSMDs), commonly presents with anaemia in infancy.1, 2 Progressive multi-organ dysfunction such as lactic acidosis, pancreatic and renal dysfunction, failure to thrive endocrine disorders can develop during the course.1, 3 Interestingly, often resolves spontaneously; frequency p...

The effects of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Telfairia Occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) were studied on some haematological indices, sperm parameters and blood glucose in male albino rats. The experiment was divided into two parts. In the first part, twelve (12) male rats were divided into two groups of six (6) rats each. Group 1 rats served as control and were given 10 ml/kg of normal sali...

A total of 105, 14 weeks old cockerels weighing 1.49 ± 0.023 kg were used to investigate the effects of Vitex doniana leaf meal (VDLM) on performance, haematological and serum biochemical parameters in cockerels over a seven-week experimental trials. The cockerels were divided into three (3) treatment groups of 0%, 5% and 10% inclusion levels of VDLM in a completely randomized design layout. Th...

This review examined haematological parameters as indicators of the physiological status of farm animals. Blood is important and reliable medium for assessing the physiological and health status of farm animals and haematology is the study of the morphology and physiology of blood. Haematological parameters are those parameters that are related to the blood and blood forming organs. Haematologi...

OBJECTIVES To screen non-diabetic hypertensive Nigerian patients with a view to determining their haematological and coagulation profiles. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty (30) consecutive non-diabetic hypertensive patients, aged 20-60 years and 30 age and sex-matched, apparently healthy subjects, were investigated for some haematological and coagulation parameters, blood pressure, pulse, body wei...

BACKGROUND Several observational studies have shown that statin use may modify the risk of haematological malignancies. To quantify the association between statin use and risk for haematological malignancies, we performed a detailed meta-analysis of published studies regarding this subject. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of multiple databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane L...

Background. The association of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and haematological cancers was reported in a large number of case reports and cohort studies, describing SSc patients with highly heterogeneous clinical pictures. Objective. We reviewed the literature to better describe SSc patients with haematological malignancies. Methods. SSc cases complicated by haematological malignancies described in...
