The purpose of this study was to determine changes in hematological and plasma indices of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio with regard to age, sex and hormonal treatment. Sixty fish were used to assess the age factor. Also, 20 fish including female and male were assigned to determine blood indices with regard to sex and hormonal treatment. The pituitary gland extract was used as hormone for males an...

BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence suggests that hematopoiesis, especially erythropoiesis, is disturbed in heart failure (HF) for many reasons. Low hemoglobin and red blood cell distribution width have emerged as prognostic indicators of HF independent of classic predictors. The prognostic implication of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) in HF, however, is unknown. In this context, we investigated th...

The small mean corpuscular volume (MCV) of red blood cell is one of the indicators for thalassemia and hemoglobinopathy screening. As other screening methods, it may have some degrees of limitation. The retrospective study was performed among 104 patients who had various kinds of thalassemia or hemoglobinopathy despite having normal hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and normal mean corpuscular volu...

W e report the observation of a high neutrophil myeloperoxidase activity (MPXI) in patients with megaloblastic anemia. MPXl is rapidly measured as part of an automated complete blood count (Technicon H.1, Technicon Instruments Corp, Tarrytown NY). W e describe the range of MPXl levels in healthy and patient populations and in 10 cases of megaloblastic anemia, including five having elevated mean...

Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) was measured at presentation in 320 hospital patients with a history of excessive alcohol consumption. The MCV of the 94 women thought to be actively drinking more than 80 g/day of alcohol was 101.3 fl compared with 96.7 fl in their male counterparts. Alcohol consumption, age, smoking habits, prevalence of inadequate diet, or serum and red cell folate levels did no...

background: anemia is common throughout the world, remarkably in developing countries. our aim is to calculate normal hemoglobin and other hematological indices in southwest of iran. materials and methods: a random selection of 500 healthy males and 500 healthy females was done in the age group of 13 to 65 years. a complete blood count (cbc) was performed in all participants. results: hemoglobi...

Alpha thalassemia (α-thal) is relatively common worldwide. Most carriers are defective in either one or two alpha globin genes out of four functional ones, with deletions being more common than point mutations. The hematologic features are very important for the selection of the appropriate molecular tests while determining the genotype. The aim of this study was to compare hematologic features...

an experiment was conducted on eight weak and anaemic goats revealed pale conjunctivae, increased heart rate, rough hair coat, dullness and depression. the haematology showed significantly decreased haemoglobin (7.37±0.16 g %), packed cell volume (pcv)(23.37±0.56%),total erythrocyte count (tec)(8.12±0.18 million/cumm), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (mch) (9.10±0.30 pg) and mean corpuscular volum...
