background: the selection of blastocyst warmed for transfer is based on pre-freeze morphology in vitrified-warmed single blastocyst transfer cycles. but, it is controversial which parameter of blastocyst morphology most closely related to the clinical outcomes. objective: to estimate the effect of blastocoele expansion, trophectoderm (te) morphology grade, and inner cell mass (icm) morphology g...

To improve the accuracy on bone marrow white blood cell segmentation, 3D structuring element based multiscale morphology is proposed. Combination of HSV color model and multiscale on structuring element can segment nucleus of white blood cell easily and accurately. By using color bone marrow white blood cell images from the CellAtlas, the experimental results show that the proposed method can s...

Assumpta Serra, MD, Servicio de Nefrologia, Hospital ‘Germans Trias i Pujol’, Carretera del Canyet s/n, E-08916 Badalona (Spain) Sir, Urinary red blood cell morphology has been reported to be useful in discriminating renal from nonrenal causes of hematuria. In renal disease, dysmorphic blood cells are detected in urine, whereas in nonrenal hematuria the morphology is normal [1,2]. The estimated...

Leukemia is a blood disease which is caused by the inhibition of differentiation and an increased proliferation rate. Nature has been known as a rich source of medically useful substances. High diversity of bioactive molecules extracted from marine invertebrates, makes them ideal candidates for cancer researches. The study has been done to investigate cytotoxic effects of dichloromethane brittl...

background: red blood cell and other blood products play a crucial role in management of different disease processes, but in spite of implementation of crucial steps to improve the process of request for blood and blood consumption, there is still not enough information available regarding the proper practice in many medical centres. we aimed to evaluate the status of blood product requests and...

Objective Aspirated ovarian follicular fluids (FF) contain luteal granulosa cells (LGC) and other contaminating cell types. Several strategies such as the antibody binding methods, the flask method, the cell strainer, and the positive selection of granulosa aggregates after density gradient centrifugation, were tested as LGCs purification methods. Each of these strategies has its own advantages...
