background: until now, trimodal distribution of hbs has been seen by six different studies in the world when associated with alpha-thalassemia with confirmation by corresponding alpha-genotyping studies. the rbc indices reduce as alpha-globin genes reduce in sickle cell trait (sct) patients, which decreases the extent of intra-vascular sickling and thus betters the clinical course of the patien...

Background: Anemia is the most common complication due to CKD. Normocytic normochromic type of anemia in CKD is, but there also some microcytic hypochromic. Clinical examination such as erythrocyte indices and monitoring serum ferritin levels can help diagnose The purpose this study determine correlation between patients hemodialysis unit PKU Hospital Bantul.Methods: This research involved 50 a...

Research done on 40 patients; 24 males, 20-79 years, and 16 females, 42-67 years; referred to dialysis unit, Baqubah hospital, in November December, 2021; January February 2022. Creatinine, Urea Iron, record high levels. Glucose, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphate, were within normal, low levels of albumin. Means Total Erythrocyte Counts (TECs), hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit% (HCT), Mean Corpu...

BACKGROUND The health benefits of soy isoflavones have been widely investigated; however, there are some concerns as to whether soy isoflavones, similar to ipriflavone, a synthetic isoflavone, cause lymphocytopenia in postmenopausal women. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which 12-month supplementation of 25 g soy protein containing 60 mg isoflavones alters lymp...

The aim of the present study was to find the clinical and hematological alterations in female rabbits exposed orally to Malathion and Cypermethrin at a dose of 75mg/kg body weight for seven days through gavage. Animals were divided into three groups i.e. A, B and C comprised of three rabbits each. Group A was considered as control. Group B was intoxicated with Malathion while C was Cypermethrin...

AIMS Glycation gap (GG) is defined as the difference between the measured level of HbA1c and the level that would be predicted from its regression on the fructosamine level. The aims of the study were: 1) To determine the reproducibility and consistency of GC; 2) To discover factors related to GG value. Given that metformin might increase glucose transport through the erythrocyte membrane, this...

BACKGROUND Due to the potential risk of iron supplementation in iron replete children, it is important to properly identify children who may require iron supplementation. However, assessment of the iron status has proven to be difficult, especially in children living in areas with high infection pressure (including malaria). AIMS AND METHODS Biochemical iron markers were compared to bone marr...

Prevention of erythrocyte dehydration is a potential therapeutic strategy for sickle cell disease. Increasing erythrocyte magnesium (Mg) could inhibit sickle cell dehydration by increasing chloride (CI) and water content and by inhibiting potassium chloride (K-CI) cotransport. In transgenic SAD 1 and (control) C57BL/6 normal mice, we investigated the effect of 2 weeks of diet with either low Mg...

PURPOSE We investigated association of hematological variables with specific fitness performance in elite team-sport players. METHODS Hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) was measured in 25 elite field hockey players using the optimized (2 min) CO-rebreathing method. Hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]), hematocrit and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were analyzed in venous blood. Fitness per...

The present study assessed the toxicity of Androctonus amoreuxi crude venom on blood and biochemical serum parameters of mice. Adult male Albino mice were divided into three groups, in the control group mice were injected S.C. with saline solution. The second group and the third were injected with the venom S.C. in mice in the following doses 1/4 and 1/2 dose of LD50 respectively. Blood and ser...
