Objectives: To determine the association between iron status and febrile seizure. Patients and Methods: This case-control study was conducted among 120 children of age group 6 months to 3 years and hospitalized for the first episode of Febrile Seizures (FS). The case group was compared to a group of 80 ageand sexmatched controls admitted with the same diagnosis of infection but without seizure....

BACKGROUND Frequency and classification of anemia in terms of regeneration status and erythrocyte indices are not well described in cats. OBJECTIVE To determine frequency and regenerative status of anemia in samples from adult cats, to assess the sensitivity and specificity of macrocytosis and hypochromasia for detecting regenerative anemia (RA), and to evaluate the association of anemia with...

Abstract Background Hematological abnormalities are common features in falciparum malaria but vary among different populations across countries. Therefore, we compared hematological indices and between Plasmodium -infected patients malaria-negative subjects Kosti city of the White Nile State, Sudan. Methods A comparative, cross-sectional study was conducted at Clinical Laboratory Unit Teaching ...

background: in natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. to our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent cr on c. carpio hematology. this study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of trival...

KCl cotransport (KCC) activation by cell swelling and pH was compared in sickle (SS) and normal (AA) red blood cells (RBCs). KCC fluxes had the same relationship to mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in SS and AA RBCs when normalized to the maximal volume-stimulated (VS(max)) flux (MCHC < 270 g/L [27 g/dL]). Acid-stimulated (pH 6.9) KCC flux in SS RBCs was 60% to 70% of VS(max) KC...

KCC fluxes had the same relationship to mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in SS and AA RBCs when normalized to the maximal volumestimulated (VSmax) flux (MCHC < 270 g/L [27 g/dL]). Acid-stimulated (pH 6.9) KCC flux in SS RBCs was 60% to 70% of VSmax KCC ver...

: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is often associated with congenital heart defect (CHD) in children, especially developing world. Often it remains undiagnosed due to the unaffordability do costly tests like serum ferritin. We have done this study know whether simple test complete hemogram sufficient diagnose IDA a child CHD. This hospital based observational was for period of one and half year p...

The impact of sublethal toxicity of sodium arsenite on hematological and certain biochemical parameters of the fresh water catfish Clarias batrachus has been analyzed following exposure of sublethal concentration (1 mg/L; 5% of LC50 value) of sodium arsenite for 10, 30, 45, and 60 days. Arsenic bioaccumulation in the blood tissue of the fish increased progressively with increased period of expo...

Rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii (mean length 14.53 ± 1.14 cm and mean weight 38.36 ± 3.45 g), were exposed for 4 weeks with the different levels of ammonia in the concentrations of 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L at 19 and 24 °C. The indicators of growth performance such as daily length gain, daily weight gain, condition factor, and hematosomatic index were significantly reduced by the ammonia exposure...
