Background: Red blood cell changes are one of the most common complications in malaria and they play a very crucial role pathogenesis. Malaria infections causes maternal anaemia especially during pregnancy. The aim this study was to determine red indices pregnant women with asymptomatic malaria.

Suitable physiological condition in fishes for the selection of broodfishes can be achieved through hematological studies. The present study aimed to examin the hematological indices in Juvenile Sturgeons at different stages of growth. Total albumin content in blood serum, hemoglobin concentration, the erythrocyte and leukocyte count of 54 sturgeon specimens (Persian sturgeon Acipenser persicus...

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...

Platelet parameters such as Mean platelet volume (MPV) and Platelet distribution width (PDW) are indicators of platelet activation. In cases with Rheumatoid arthritis inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and Erythrocyte sedimentation Rate are affected .Studies have pointed out the occurrence of changes in platelet counts in acute stages of Rheumatoid arthritis, the cause being platel...

Microsieving diluted suspensions of oxygenated sickle cell anaemia (HbSS) cells on polycarbonate filters shows that piracetam improves the red cell deformability in vitro. In vivo an oral intake of 160 mg/kg/day divided in four doses enhances the HbSS cell deformability as actively as it does in in vitro experiments. The drug is also able partially to restore the impaired deformability of physi...

BACKGROUND Epidemiological and clinical studies in high income countries have suggested that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) may cause anaemia, but evidence is lacking from low income countries.We examined associations between H. pylori infection in early childhood and anaemia at the age of 6.5 years in an Ethiopian birth cohort. METHODS In 2011/12, 856 children (85.1 % of the 1006 original s...

In six normal subjects we investigated the effects of oral phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) on the concentrations of plasma choline, erythrocyte choline, and choline-containing lipids. Plasma choline levels rose 1 hr after treatment and remained elevated for 8 hr, with peaks at 3 and 4 hr after phosphatidylcholine. Erythrocyte choline levels also rose, although the rise was slightly delayed relat...

Arruva, the R,R-isomer of monatin (sodium/potassium 2R,4R-2-amino-4-carboxy-4-hydroxy-5-(3-indolyl) pentanoate), an intense sweetener originally identified in root bark of the South African shrub Schlerochitin ilicifolius, was examined for its mutagenic and genotoxic potential via bacterial reverse mutation, mouse lymphoma and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, all accomplished in the presence ...
