Abstract The São Gonçalo Channel, located in the south of Brazil, is responsible for connecting Mirim Lagoon to Patos Lagoon, constituting largest coastal lagoon system Latin America. assessment its hydraulic variables necessary given importance this channel region. Thus, study aimed evaluate performance index velocity rating curve (IVRC) method, from measurements provided by horizontal static-...

PURPOSE Erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV) increase has been described in patients treated with capecitabine. In this study, we sought to evaluate the potential association of the erythrocyte MCV increase with tumor response and survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with capecitabine. METHODS A retrospective review of 131 patients with mCRC who were trea...

Hematology analysis, a common clinical test for screening various diseases, has conventionally required chemical staining process that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. To reduce the costs of staining, label-free imaging can be utilized in hematology analysis. In this work, we exploit optical diffraction tomography fully convolutional one-stage object detector or FCOS, deep learning archit...

Adult patients with macrocytosis, defined as a mean corpuscular volume (MCV) greater than 100 femtoliters, were studied to assess the importance of an elevated MCV. After eliminating pregnant and postpartum patients and patients receiving medications known to cause macrocytosis (e.g., phenytoin, zidovudine, and chemotherapeutic agents), 80 patients were identified and studied. Sixty-seven diagn...

PURPOSE Capecitabine is known to increase mean corpuscular volume (MCV). To define the incidence of capecitabine-induced macrocytosis and its association with chemotherapy outcomes, we investigated data of 89 patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) who were enrolled in a randomized chemotherapy trial involving capecitabine. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemotherapy-naïve AGC patients were treate...

A brief survey of abnormal hemoglobin variants among the major ethnic groups of Karachi was conducted; 202,600 subjects were studied. Patients with low hemoglobin (Hb), low mean cell volume (MCV) and mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) including anemia, microcytosis, hypochromic hemolysis and target cells, were refered for the identification of hemoglobinopathy by molecular methods. Population screening...

Mice fed 1.5 mg ochratoxin A (OTA) per kg body weight and infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense were compared with trypanosome-infected placebo-fed and uninfected OTA-fed controls. Uninfected OTA-fed mice showed fever, lethargy, facial and eyelid oedemas, mild hepatitis and nephritis, and high survival. Infected placebo-fed controls had mean pre-patent period (PPP) of 3.26 days, lethargy...

background because of varying reports, there is still need to investigate the impact of wrestling on hematological indices. objectives we investigated differences in the basic hematological indices in wrestlers compared to sedentary controls. patients and methods the blood samples containing anticoagulant were collected from 12 male elite wrestlers (age = 24 ± 1.2 years, weight = 76 ± 5 kg) wit...

As a body fluid, blood supplies nutrients and oxygen to cells carries away metabolic waste products. A cross-sectional study was conducted between February April 2021 in Khartoum state examine the effect of renal failure on hemoglobin level, mean cell volume (MCV), red distribution width (RDW) Sudanese patients. One hundred thirty-five samples were collected from patients with failure, 100 them...

Using the new Bayer H*3 hematology analyzer (Leverkusen, Germany), we have determined red blood cell and reticulocyte indices in 64 healthy subjects, in patients with microcytosis due to iron deficiency (58 patients) and heterozygous beta-thalassemia (40 patients), and in patients with macrocytosis (28 patients). We found in all cases that reticulocytes were larger than mature red cells by 24% ...
