the mediterranean flour moth, ephestia kuehniella zeller, is one of the major pests in stored products worldwide. several problems assossiated with the use of conventional insecticides have strongly demonstrated the need for applying alternative safe compounds such as insect growth regulators (igrs). in the present study, growth regulating activity and hematological effects of pyriproxifen and ...

This report presents white blood cell count findings for persons ages 1-74 years and differential leukocyte count findings for adults ages 25-Bureau of the Census, under a contractual agreement, participated in the design and selection of the sample and carried out the first stage of the field interviewing and certain parts of the statistical processing.

BACKGROUND Many conventional cardiovascular risk factors in the general population are not as predictive in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). As absolute neutrophil count and total white blood cell (WBC) count are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality, this analysis was undertaken to explore the associations of WBC variables with mortality risk in ESRD. METHODS...

A 21-year-old Sudanese man presented to the emergency department after 2 days of fever, nausea, vomiting, and mild bloody diarrhea. Clinical findings included hepatosplenomegaly and abdominal distension. Past medical history included hepatitis B infection and prior infection with a “worm.” The patient had moved to the USA 6 weeks prior to his admission. Laboratory findings revealed a decreased ...

BACKGROUND Automated blood cell analyzers often read leukemic blasts as normal cells. In this study, we evaluated the 5-part differential patterns of blasts using automated analyzers to determine if they can differentiate among blast types. METHODS Blood samples containing 10% or more blasts were collected from patients with acute leukemia (N=175). The 5-part differential count was conducted ...

Background: The vascular response to recurrent tissue hypoxia and reperfusion following red blood cell sickling causes acute chest syndrome and chronic lung disease.

BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation emerges as a feature of the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in experimental models. Alterations of circulating cell subsets have been observed in patients with PAH. We aimed to assess associations of the white blood cell count with disease severity and outcome in patients with PAH. METHODS The total and differential white blood cell count ...
