The existing literature on occupational medicine practices related clinical laboratory data has considerable room for expansion. aim of this study is to contribute the evaluation workplace with original data.Material Method: workers from Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, Turkey, were ana...

The abuse of Acetaminophen (over-the-counter drug) is rapidly increasing globally, thus inducing physiological alterations and toxicity. In this study, it was hypothesized that overdose acetaminophen may induce certain type anemia; hence the anemia induced by oral exposure to toxic dose evaluated. Fifteen (15) Wistar rats weighing approximately 160 g were grouped into three (3) groups; Group 1 ...

[Purpose] The aim of our study was to explore the changes in the blood of servicemen in sub-health conditions during a 21-day balneotherapy program. [Subjects and Methods] For this study, 129 servicemen in sub-health condition were recruited. The subjects were randomly divided into either the balneotherapy group (70) or the control group (59). Subjects in the balneotherapy group received whole-...

Cycling stage races are strenuous endurance events during which exercise-induced variations in hematological parameters are consistently observed. However, specific literature on such changes is scarce and published data have been derived from small samples of athletes. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the hematological response to middle-term strenuous endurance; and (2) to determ...

The present study was conduct to examine different dietary levels of iron (FeSo4) on some haematological parameters of Ship sturgeon, Acipenser nudiventris including red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBCs), differential WBCs, hematocrit (Hct), Hemoglobin (Hb), the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), the mean corpuscular volume (MCV...

In this study, morphological characteristics of peripheral blood cell, and certain hematological and serum biochemistry values were determined in 16 clinical healthy adult common kestrels in order to establish normal reference values for this population. Seven different types of blood cells were determined, such as erythrocytes, thrombocytes, big lymphocytes, monocytes, heterophils, basophils, ...

Alpha thalassemia (α-thal) is relatively common worldwide. Most carriers are defective in either one or two alpha globin genes out of four functional ones, with deletions being more common than point mutations. The hematologic features are very important for the selection of the appropriate molecular tests while determining the genotype. The aim of this study was to compare hematologic features...

background: sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin causing myriad of pathology including anemia. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the baseline values of steady state hemoglobin and packed cell volume as a guide to managing the early recognition of hemolytic crises in sickle cell anemia. methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted among the sickle cell patients atten...

Malachite green is an extensively used biocide in the aquaculture industry world-wide. It has been widely used due to lack of a proper alternative. Pyceze, however, is a pharmaceutical alternative to malachite green, with bronopol as its active ingredient. The catfish Heteropneustes fossilis were exposed for four days to 1/5th of LC50 values of each of malachite green (0.24mg/l) and Pyceze (0.4...
