BACKGROUND Iron deficiency is still considered the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and the most significant negative consequence of iron deficiency is iron deficiency anemia (IDA). This study elucidates if IDA among healthy women of child bearing age could be predicted by various iron parameters, using serum ferritin as a gold standard. METHODS Between January and June 2009 at pr...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in children with ADHD. METHODS MethodsaaThe sample consisted of 48 ADHD children and sex and age matched control chil...

Study Design: Descriptive cross - sectional study. Setting: Physiology Department Period: 15 February 2017 August 2017. Material & Methods: A total 500 were enrolled The anthropomet...

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...

for intensive rearing of fish with minimal losses, it is necessary to be aware of health status of fish. blood variables are useful criteria for showing physiological disturbances in intensively farmed fishes and can provide important information for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. the aim of the present study was to show hematological parameters in haematological evaluation is gradually b...

OBJECTIVE Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common hereditary disease in Iran. In developed countries, newborn screening programs have been established to ensure early diagnosis, but in most developing countries, screening is not performed and the diagnosis is often delayed. The aim of the present work was to investigate the clinical presentation of SCD in Iran and comparison of its hematologic in...

Hematological parameters were measured in 408 blood samples collected over a 30-mo period from 254 captive mountain gazelles (Gazella gazella) in Saudi Arabia. We evaluated the influence of sex, age, capture method, and season, on these parameters. Evaluations also were made with a small number of anesthetized animals. Males had a significantly higher mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corp...

The injection of iron-dextran into beef calves at an early age immediately increased values for erythrocyte (RBC) numbers, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV), even though the calves were not anemic. There were no significant differences in average daily gain (ADG) from birth through 15 wk between those tha...

introduction: the current study evaluated the value of red blood cell (rbc) indices and the corresponding cut- off points for β-thalassemia control programs in iran. materials and methods: 1,150 individuals (575 couples) with low rbc indices and normal hemoglobin a2 who had been referred to the genetic centre of isfahan, were tested during pre-marital screening analyses, in the 2 year period, 2...

BACKGROUND Beta thalassemia is a preventable disease. Iran has about 20,000Patients who are homozygote for β-thalassaemia and 3,750,000 carriers. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of beta thalassemia minor among men who underwent premarital screening in Quchana city in Khorasan Razavi region of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS This research is a descriptive cross-sectional stud...
