OBJECTIVES Hematological changes are among the most common complications encountered in malaria. This study analyzes and statistically evaluates the hematological changes as a diagnostic test for malaria in patients with acute febrile illness and whether these could guide the physician to institute specific antimalarial treatment. METHODS The present study was an observational study, conducte...

OBJECTIVE The estimation of platelet count from blood smears is a daily routine laboratory test, which should be systematic each time the automated count is erroneous. In our laboratory, we estimate the platelet count indirectly by using the automated red blood cell (RBC) and calculating the platelet count on the basis of the red cell: platelet ratio in a stained blood film. In this study, we a...

introduction although thymoma is the most common anterior mediastinal tumor, only 5% of thymoma cases develop pure red cell aplasia (prca). case presentation in this article we have reported a 59-year-old man with a large anterior mediastinal mass (diameter of 10 cm) and severe anemia, that thymoma and pure red cell aplasia have been demonstrated by histopathologic and hematological examination...

The Sysmex NE-8000 is a new, fully automated hematology analyzer capable of providing a five-part white blood cell differential count and identifying abnormal specimens. This instrument was evaluated on 5,000 consecutive blood specimens and compared to the Coulter S Plus-IV analyzer and manual differential cell counts to determine the efficacy of its five-cell differential and screening capabil...

OBJECTIVE Acute cholecystitis is a common disease requiring accurate markers for diagnosis and proper treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of red cell distribution width (RDW) in acute cholecystitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS 299 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into 2 groups; group 1 (n: 46) acute cholecystitis group and group 2 (n: 253) chronic cholec...

BACKGROUND Trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in young adults. Risk stratification these patients remains challenging even today. There a need for readily available simple prognostic method to categorise predict morbidity. We intend measure correlate red cell distribution width total leucocyte count presenting with trauma, within 24 hours injury, outcome. METHODS included 52...

objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the biological effects of opium on the number of peripheral blood cells and red blood cells (rbcs) indices in diabetic rats. materials and methods peripheral blood samples were collected from diabetic, opium-addicted, diabetic opium-addicted and normal male and female rats and hematological parameters were measured. results the mean number of whi...
