This note describes a number of important food applications utilising the PerkinElmer DSC demonstrating the versatility of the technique as a tool in the food industry.

BACKGROUND The health of an individual is known to vary in different countries, in the same country at different times, and in the same individuals at different ages. This means that the condition of individuals must be related to or compared with reference data. Determination of a reference range for the healthy term newborn is clinically important in terms of various complete blood count para...

BACKGROUND High white blood cell count at presentation is an unfavorable prognostic factor for treatment outcome in intermediate cytogenetic risk acute myeloid leukemia. Since the impact of white blood cell count on outcome of subgroups defined by the molecular markers NPMc(+) and FLT3-internal tandem duplication (ITD) is unknown, we addressed this issue. DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the eff...

Introduction The continuous and rapid growth of telecommunication industries, along with the common application of cell phones, hasraised debates on the associated risks for humanhealth due to exposure to radiofrequency fields, caused bycell phonesorother sources, and industrial and medical applications. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of cell phone radiation on ...

Introduction: Our aim was to identify the haematological manifestations (Peripheral smear) of altered haematopoiesis resulting from HIV infection .Review the pathogenesis of the haematological manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Method: Blood was collected in a sterile EDTA containing tube and processed following our established laboratory protocol and by universal precaution ...

Background: Radical cystectomy is associated with perioperative complication rates exceeding 50% in some series. Readmission rates are increasingly used as a surgical quality metric. White blood cell count is a crude surrogate for physiologic processes which may reflect postoperative complications leading to readmission. Objective: We assessed the association between final white blood cell coun...

Introduction: Oral Candidosis is among the find-ings of acute leukemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the intensity of C.albicans, before treatment and at the Induc-tion phase.  Materials and Methods: Twelve patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) aged 2-14 years enrolled in study. Whole Saliva samples were obtained and cultured to determine the mean count ...

mastitis is one of the most serious and costly diseases affecting dairy cattle production. in the present study, effects of a lactoferrin gene polymorphism (intron 6) on milk somatic cell count (scc) and subclinical mastitis was investigated in 121 holstein dairy cattle. two alleles of a and b and two genotypes of aa and ab were found in an ecori recognized single nucleotide polymorphism in int...
