introduction: periodontal disease, an inflamma- tory and infectious disease in adults and anemia associated with chronic infection, is one of the most common types of anemia. considering the similarity of pathogens causing periodontal dis ease and anemia, this study aims to investigate the correlation between hematologic para meters associated with anemia and modera te chronic periodontitis. ma...

  This study was done to investigate of some hematological and biochemical factors of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss ) fry in west of Mazandaran in Iran. About 50 pools of blood samples from diseased fry were collected within 30 months from November 2002 till March 2005 from three hatchery farms in western part of Mazanderan province. In addition 30 pools of blood samples as control group w...

Objective: Standard compression stockings are used to create elastic pressure in correcting and maintaining the hemodynamics of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and prevent limb swelling in patients with DVT. This study aimed to compare the effect of aerobic exercise with lower extremity elastic pressure on some hematological features of obese patients with DVT. Materials and Methods: For this purpo...

The current study evaluated effects of dietary administration doses of Entrococcus faecium on the hematological factors, and disease resistance of Sander lucioperca against Aeromonas hydrophila infection. Fish were fed with dietary administration containing E. faecium doses including of (1010, 108CFU/ g) for diet A1 and A2, respectively in a commercial diet as basal diet were used for 6 weeks. ...

background: the challenge of antiepileptic drugs (aeds) management is to attain the best compromise between the desire to maximize seizure control and the need to keep side‑effects within tolerable limits for the individual patient. to reduce devastation in iranian epileptic patients, the aim of this study was to explore the overall outcome following aeds prescription. methods: a cross‑sectiona...

objective(s): this study aimed to determine the possible toxicity of cuo nanoparticles (nps) on oncorhynchus mykiss by evaluating hematological parameters.materials and methods: fish were sampled and treated in 4 aquariums containing the concentration ranges of 1, 5, 20 and 100 ppm of cuo nps. there was one control group (no cuo nps) and three replicates. the physicochemical properties of water...

Exophiala (Wangiella) dermatitidis is an emerging dematiaceous fungus associated with high mortality rates and is a rare cause of endocarditis. We describe the first case of E. dermatitidis endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve and aortic graft in an immune competent patient with no clear risk factors of hematological acquisition.

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are life-threatening complications of hematological malignancies that must be diagnosed early to allow effective treatment. Few data are available on the performance of serum (1-3)-β-D-glucan (BG) assays for diagnosing IFI in patients with hematological malignancies admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In this study, 737 consecutive patients with hematolo...

Corpus cavernosum abscesses are uncommon with only 23 prior reports in the literature. Several precipitating factors for cavernosal infections have been described including injection therapy for erectile dysfunction, trauma, and priapism. Common causal organisms include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococci, and Bacteroides. We report a unique case of a corpus cavernosum abscess due to proctitis ...

Managing hematological disorders in a tropical country presents several unique diagnostic and management problems. Apart from the disease process, we need to be aware of infections that can exacerbate or mimic serious hematological problems. We present here a series of five patients with pre-existing hematological diseases who were infected by dengue virus. These cases highlight the need to kee...
