In this study cyclophosphamide was used to prepare the blood-deficient model. The red blood cell count and hemoglobin content were measured. The experimental chickens presented the symptoms of blood-deficient syndrome, dullness, shrinkinginto oneself, broken winded, loose feather, waxy eyelid, and pale tongue. At the same time, red blood cell count and hemoglobin content decreased significantly...

OBJECTIVE To examine the cross-sectional associations of components of the complete blood cell count with retinal vessel diameters. METHODS The data are from the baseline examination of the Beaver Dam Eye Study cohort (n = 4730) from March 1, 1988, to September 14, 1990. Blood pressure was measured, a medical history including questions on cigarette smoking was obtained, and fundus photograph...

  Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension is one of the most common causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. New born delivered to mothers with hypertension are more liable for intrauterine growth retardation and may be delivered prematurely. We aimed to determine the effect of pregnancy-induced hypertension on complete blood count, gestational age and birth weight of newborn...

This retrospective study investigated the correlations between red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit on admission, and mortality in 140 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Correlations between the hematological parameters RBC count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cell (WBC) count, and platelet count on admission and mortality were investigated. Association of each...

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...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the immature neutrophil (band) count in the peripheral blood smear helps to distinguish young febrile children with bacterial or respiratory viral infections. DESIGN AND SETTING A prospective cohort study in 3 pediatric emergency departments. PATIENTS A convenience sample of 100 febrile children aged 2 years or younger with either laboratory-documented bacteri...

background : to prepare safe and adequate blood supply to meet patients’ needs and ensure a sufficient number of regular blood donors, knowledge about factors encouraging people to donate blood regularly is essential. considering its importance, we aimed to identifying the effective factors of the return to blood donation in based on zero-inflated count regression models using bayesian approach...

OBJECTIVE There has been no study in the literature evaluating total blood count in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Therefore, we performed the present study to spesifically measure serum total blood count particularly white blood cells to see whether or not its eventual alterations might have an etiopathogenetic significance in patients with OCD. METHODS Total blood count was measured i...
