In developed countries, vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency usually occurs in children, exclusively breastfed ones whose mothers are vegetarian, causing low body stores of vitamin B12. The haematologic manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency is pernicious anaemia. It is a megaloblastic anaemia with high mean corpuscular volume and typical morphological features, such as hyperlobulation of the nu...

Background: Haematotoxicity occurs following acute and chronic low dose exposures to lead. This study aimed to assess the association between occupational lead exposure and haematological parameters among roadside and organized panel beaters in Enugu Metropolis, Nigeria, 2018-19.  Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional and analytical study of 428 roadside and organized panel beaters...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this article are to review and illustrate the imaging appearances of haematological malignancies in the breast. METHODS With Institutional Review Board approval, a search of the surgical pathology records from 1st January 2000 to 1st July 2012 was performed for haematological malignancies. RESULTS Forty-eight cases of haematological malignancies (42 women and 6 ...

Host factors determine early or late visible manifestation of mammary carcinoma Host factors determine visible carcinoma manifestation 19 Abstract Breast carcinoma growth depends on complex interactions of tumour characteristics and host predisposition factors. However, both in clinical practice and in spontaneous mouse cancer possibilities to determine the role of host contribution are limited...

AIMS To examine the association between 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) exposure and haematological effects, as well as the recovery from these haematological effects with continuous reduction in exposure to 2-ME. METHODS Twenty nine exposed and 90 non-exposed workers were recruited. Haematological parameters, eight hour full shift personal exposure to 2-ME, and urinary 2-methoxyacetic acid (MAA) wer...

This study examined the effect of sensory feedback (e.g., flashing lights and sound) on the imitation performance of children with autism and typical children group-matched for mental age. Participants were administered an immediate object-imitation task with six novel toys constructed for this study: three with a sensory effect that could be activated by imitating the modeled action and three ...

Bone marrow examination is an important diagnostic tool widely used in various haematological and non-haematological disorders. evaluation may either confirm clinically suspected disease or provide the previously unsuspected diagnosis.

In this study, the anesthetic effects of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) on possible primary (cortisol level) and secondary (haematological indices and glucose level) stress responses were studied in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish were first exposed to 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 mL/L 2-PE, also the time to induction (deep anesthesia) and recovery were measured. At concentrations of 0.5, ...
