an experiment was conducted in which 30 broiler chickens were selected based on their ecg and designated as healthy or subclinical ascites. subsequently, blood samples were collected and assayed for hemoglobin, hematocrit and differential leukocyte count. finally, all the birds were euthanized and their hearts harvested for the ventricle cuts. results indicated that broilers with subclinical as...

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...

By multivariate analysis of nine laboratory variables, a discriminant function value has been derived that differentiated between a group of 106 drug abusers and a group of 100 normal controls.The variables were serum phosphorus, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, and hematocrit, total leukocyte count, polymorphonuclear leukocyte count, lymphocyte count, and monocyte co...

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...

BACKGROUND Priapism was associated with certain hematological parameters in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients in one report but not in another. We studied differences in haematological parameters between SCA patients with and without priapism. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighteen patients with SCA who presented with acute priapism during the years 2001-2004 were compared with age- and sex-matched SC...
