background :identification of α thalassemia (α thal) a common cause of microcytosis during neonatal periods is an important step prevent unnecessary interventions. thus, low the mean corpuscular volume (mcv) and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (mch) may consider as α-thalassemia key detection points. the present study aimed to determine the prevalence of microcytosis among neonates who born in ...

Introduction: Newborn screening is a systematic application of tests for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of certain genetic or metabolic disorders that may lead to mortality and morbidity if untreated. As stated by WHO, each year over 330,000 babies are born worldwide with a severe form of hemoglobinopathy. Newborn screening for hemoglobinopathies could become one of the most importan...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of season and sex on hemato-biochemical parameters of turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in the arid tropical environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experiment was conducted on 20-week old turkeys consisting of 20 males and 20 females. Blood was collected from all turkeys during January and May. Hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), packed...

Hematological traits are important clinical indicators, the genetic determinants of which have not been fully investigated. Common measures of hematological traits include red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin concentration (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelet count (PLT) and white blood cell (WBC) count. ...

It is known that zeolite, tested in animal feeds in recent years, has a positive effect on fish growth and many physiological parameters. For this purpose, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was fed with feeds containing zeolite at different rates (1%, 3%, and 5%) for three months in the present study. Fish growth parameters (live weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion rate, condit...

Background Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is a devastating neurodegenerative caused by propagation of abnormally folded prion proteins (PrPSc). Some fluid biomarkers have been reported to be associated with duration in CJD. Based on studies which found that protein (PrPC) played role erythrocytic hematopoiesis, we evaluated the association between peripheral red blood cell indices and survival...

background febrile seizures (fs) are the most common type of convulsion in young children. the predisposing factors are still under investigation; however, iron insufficiency might play a role in this regard. objectives our objective was to determine the association between iron status and febrile seizure. patients and methods this prospective case-control study was conducted among 109 children...

The effect of Carbosulfan (CB), a carbamate insecticide which has been used widely in agriculture, was investigated using wistar rat. Carbosulfan was administered orally at sublethal concentration at a dose of 25 mg/kg to 12 male rats ad libitum during the tests for 30 days consecutively. The effect of CB on hematological constituent [Red Blood Corpuscules (RBC), White Blood Corpuscules (WBC), ...
