OBJECTIVE Because of increasing evidence that white blood cells (WBCs) play a role in the development and progression of diabetes complications, this study aimed to investigate the relation of circulating total and differential leukocyte counts to nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. Plasma leptin levels were also measured to investigate their role in peripheral leukocytosis. RESEARC...

Introduction: Once patients present with pain in the right lower quadrant, one of most common surgical conditions that they have to treat is acute appendicitis. Our aim study value preoperative C - reactive protein and total leucocyte count diagnosing appendicitis correlate its grading as compared Histopathological reports.Material Methods: This hospital based retrospective comparative conducte...

Background: Mutation in NPM1 gene has been reported to be the most common genetic mutation in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML with NPM1 gene mutation usually presents with higher initial leukocyte and blast cell counts and negative CD34 expression. We aimed to investigate the difference of initial leukocyte counts, bone marrow blast cell counts and expression of CD34 among patients wi...

The relationship of the peripheral leukocyte count to pulmonary function was examined in 1,510 men. There were 466 current cigarette smokers, 485 former cigarette smokers, and 559 never smokers enrolled in a longitudinal study of aging. Spirometry was performed twice on all subjects ten years apart. A multiple regression analysis indicated that leukocyte count was inversely related to baseline ...

the effect of microbial load on the condition index of the edible oyster, saccostrea cucullata were analysed on monthly basis during 2010 and 2011 from the three different stations (namkhana, frasergaunge and sajnekhali) of indian sundarbans. the results showed significant variation with respect to microbial load between stations and seasons, which is reflected in the tissue of edible oyster. s...

The peripheral circulating white blood cell (WBC) or leukocyte count originate in the hematopoietic stem cells and develop along distinct differentiation in response to internal and external cues [1]. The total number of WBC in the circulation is given as the peripheral WBC count and proportion of the total number of WBC represented by differentiated granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils and b...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of moderate physical exercise on the total and differential leukocyte counts and red blood cell count of 36 sixty-day-old adult male Wistar rats subjected to early malnourishment. METHODS The rats were divided in nourished (N - casein 17%) and malnourished groups (M - casein 8%) and thesegroups were then subdivided in trained (T) untrained (U) creating four gro...

OBJECTIVE Obesity causes subclinical inflammation. Leukocyte count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are used to indicate inflammation in clinical practice. Also, inflammatory markers are evaluated as important indicators of cardiovascular risk in patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS). We aimed to investigate the usage of the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as an ...
