There are three categories of blood eosinophilia: reactive (non-clonal), clonal and Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). The empirical diagnostic criteria of HES are: blood eosinophilia exceeding 1.5xl09/l for more than six consecutive months; absence of an underlying cause of hypereosinophilia despite extensive diagnostic evaluation and organ damage or dysfunction as a result of local ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of major haemolytic disease-severe autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and severe thrombocytopenia-and to assess when these features develop. We also sought to analyse the clinical and serological outcomes of patients with haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as compared with patients without these cytopenias. METHODS W...

Intuitively, dynamic visual stimuli, such as moving objects or flashing lights, attract attention. Visual search tasks have revealed that dynamic targets among static distractors can indeed efficiently guide attention. The present study shows that the reverse case, a static target among dynamic distractors, allows for relatively efficient selection in certain but not all cases. A static target ...

Introduction.Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a small cell-wall-lacking bacterium that belongs to the mycoplasma (Mollicutes) prokaryote micro-organisms. It is a common cause of both upper and lower respiratory tract infections in all age groups. Respiratory illness is the most common manifestation of M. pneumoniae infection; however, extrapulmonary involvement may be present or predominant. The skin, ...

Our purpose was to compile information on the haematological manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), namely leucopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and myelofibrosis. During our search of the English-language MEDLINE sources, we did not place a date-of-publication constraint. Hence, we have reviewed...

Introduction: Haematological and nonhaematological diseases affecting the bone marrow may be primarily or a secondarily spread to marrow. In most of cases, diagnosis can arrived at by detailed history, physical examination few simple investigations. Bone is very useful tool in hematological non-hematological diseases. Materials Methods: This retrospective study was done department haematology, ...

The temporal interval between flashing lights that is required to perceive nonsimultaneity decreases as the refractive error increases from 0 to +2 diopters. The interval then remains constant with further increases to 3 and 4 diopters. The results are discussed in terms of the relative increase of transient to sustained visual channels and of the increase in apparent movement.

ascorbic acid (vitamin c) supplementation has been documented as a useful tool to improve the performance of laying birds reared under harsh environmental conditions. however, there is limited information on the use of ascorbic acid as a means of ameliorating the stressful conditions imposed by feed restriction. to this effect a 3 × 2 factorial experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect ...
