the present study investigated the effects of acute toxicity of malathion on behavioral and haematological parameters in the cyprinid capoeta damascina . the specimens were collected from the kordan river, karaj, iran in august, 2014 and were exposed to different concentrations of malathion at the laboratory (24, 48, 72 mg l ‑1 ) based on 96h-lc (10; 30; 50; 90) which was 6.08 (5.22-7.18) mg l ...

OBJECTIVE To find a hematological parameter and the cut-off level for identification of nonsickling hemoglobinopathies in pregnant women. MATERIALS AND METHODS Venous blood samples of 849 women with singleton pregnancies were collected at the first visit. All women who met inclusion criteria were examined for nonsickling hemoglobinopathy. On the basis of the sensitivity and the specificity of...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of various mutations in beta (beta) thalassaemia and its association with haematological parameters. METHODS A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Haematology, Armed Forced Institute of Pathology (AFIP) from February 2009 to January 2010. A total of 515 carriers having beta thalassaemia mutations characterized by Multipl...

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a relatively uncommon but highly lethal form of skin cancer. A majority of MCC tumors carry DNA sequences derived from a newly identified virus called Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV or MCPyV), a candidate etiologic agent underlying the development of MCC. To further investigate the role of MCV infection in the development of MCC, we developed a reporter vector-base...

Background: This study was undertaken to see the utility of erythrocyte indices for screening of beta thalassemia trait in pregnant women, as these indices are based on complete blood count reports which are routinely available and nowadays generated by automated hematology analyzer. Material and methods: The study was a cross sectional in which the complete blood count report of 300 pregnant w...

New automated blood cell analyzers provide an index of red cell volume distribution width (RDW) or heterogeneity and a histogram display of red cell volume distribution. We have developed a classification of red cell disorders, based on mean corpuscular volume (MCV) or red cell size, heterogeneity, and histograms, to guide diagnosis from the peripheral blood analysis. The distinction of iron de...

Pyrethroids, commercially available pesticides, are greatly in use these days, and thus they carry considerable chances of contaminating various ecosystems. Haematotoxicity of cypermethrin, a broadly used type II pyrethroid, has been assessed in the present study. Selected parameters included determination of total RBC count, haemoglobin concentration (Hb conc.), packed cell volume (PCV), mean ...

Abstract Background Beta thalassemia is a preventable disease. Iran has about 20,000Patients who are homozygote for β-thalassaemia and 3,750,000 carriers. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of beta thalassemia minor among men who underwent premarital screening in Quchana city in Khorasan Razavi region of Iran Materials and Methods This research is a descriptive cross-sect...

The blood cell profile of captive sedated chital deer revealed a sickle shaped Red Blood Cell (RBC) with the total count of 5.07 ± 0.73 x 10 per cu. mm, the Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration of 10.92 ± 1.56 gm/dl, Packed Cell Volume (PCV) of 34.00 ± 5.19, Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) of 65.4 ± 1.46, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) of 21.65 ± 0.21 and a total White Blood Corpuscles (WBC) was 9.1 ...
