Recently, a concurrent projection to latent structures (CPLS) for multivariate statistical process was proposed. It has been proved to be a better monitoring method than the traditional PLS. However, its fault diagnosis methods have not been developed yet. In this paper, we discuss a new fault diagnosis approach based on CPLS. Five monitoring indices used in CPLS are unified into two general fo...

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 cou...

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...

Although, iron depletion is a common disorder among athletes, little data exist regarding the effect of gymnastic training on iron status. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gymnastic exercise on body iron status and hematologic profile. The present investigation involved 35 male gymnasts aged from 6 to14 yrs. Serum ferritin level, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), iron...

European Train Control System (ETCS) is a signaling, control and train protection system that is replacing the national, incompatible safety systems within Europe. ETCS consists of the on-board subsystem (composed of ERTMS/ETCS on-board equipment, the on-board part of the GSM-R radio system and speci c transmission modules for existing national train control systems), and the track-side sub-sys...

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 37.6...

OBJECTIVE The two most frequent hypochromic microcytic anemias are β- thalassemia minor (BTM) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Several discrimination indices have been proposed to quickly discriminate these similar entities via parameters obtained from automated blood count analyzers. The aim of this study to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of ten discrimination indices in the differentiat...

Introduction: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease and disorder that occurs when endometrial cells are shed through the fallopian tubes and are implanted on the surfaces of pelvis and abdomen. They form lesions that respond to hormones of the menstural cycle and will stimulate inflammation. It is controversial whether [99mTc]Tc-RBC scan would be sufficient for lo...
