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...

backgrounds: thyroid hormones play an important physiological role in human metabolism. erythrocyte abnormalities are frequently associated with thyroid disorder. however, they are rarely investigated and related to the subclinical and primary hypothyroidism in kashmiri patients. in this study an attempt was made to study hematological parameters in untreated and treated subclinical hypothyroid...

for intensive rearing of fish with minimal losses, it is necessary to be aware of health status of fish. blood variables are useful criteria for showing physiological disturbances in intensively farmed fishes and can provide important information for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. the aim of the present study was to show hematological parameters in haematological evaluation is gradually b...

background: anemia is common throughout the world, remarkably in developing countries. our aim is to calculate normal hemoglobin and other hematological indices in southwest of iran. materials and methods: a random selection of 500 healthy males and 500 healthy females was done in the age group of 13 to 65 years. a complete blood count (cbc) was performed in all participants. results: hemoglobi...

The purpose of this study was to determine changes in hematological and plasma indices of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio with regard to age, sex and hormonal treatment. Sixty fish were used to assess the age factor. Also, 20 fish including female and male were assigned to determine blood indices with regard to sex and hormonal treatment. The pituitary gland extract was used as hormone for males an...

background & aim: marshmallow (althaea officinalis) is one of the most popular medicinal plants used in traditional medicine with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of marshmallow extract (althaea officinalis l.) administration on blood cells and biochemical parameters of carp liver. experimental: 150 carp (weighing 37.65 ± 4.40 g) wer...
