background because of varying reports, there is still need to investigate the impact of wrestling on hematological indices. objectives we investigated differences in the basic hematological indices in wrestlers compared to sedentary controls. patients and methods the blood samples containing anticoagulant were collected from 12 male elite wrestlers (age = 24 ± 1.2 years, weight = 76 ± 5 kg) wit...

INTRODUCTION Airway inflammation and remodeling are well recognized features of asthma. Remodeling is usually regarded as a consequence of chronic inflammation, however there are also data suggesting that remodeling is a relatively independent process in asthma. Neither inflammation nor remodeling is a uniform process. Thus the precise relationship between markers of inflammation and different ...

recent studies suggested the role of white blood cells (wbcs) in the pathogenesis and complications of type 2 diabetes. increased wbc counts predict mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (ckd). in this study alterations in wbc subpopulations in diabetic patients with non-dialysis dependent ckd are investigated. this was a cross-sectional study  on 376 participants, including   272 d...

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 ...

The study consisted of 18 dogs divided into Three groups. Each group consisted of Six dogs with elbow, hip and stifle joint disorders respectively. All the dogs were subjected to synovial fluid evaluation. The physico-chemical parameters recorded in these dogs included synovial fluid volume, color, viscosity, transparency, protein concentration, total nucleated cell count and differential cell ...

Identify the red cells morphological changes (Peripheral blood smear) due to altered haematopoiesis resulting from HIV infection and the pathogenesis of red cells morphological changes in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Blood was collected in a sterile EDTA containing tube and processed following our established laboratory protocol and by universal precaution as per the guideline of Nationa...

The aim of this study was to investigation on effects of in ovo administration of ghrelin on leukocytes count and heterophil/ lymphocyte (H/L) ratio in hatched chicks. 250 fertile eggs were divided to 5 groups; control or group 1 (without injection), group 2 (in ovo injected with 50 ng ghrelin at day 5), group 3 (in ovo injected with 100 ng ghrelin at day 5), group 4 (in ovo injected with 50 ng...

BACKGROUND Numerous studies suggest existence of association between total white blood cell (WBC) count and metabolic syndrome (MS) in general population. Aim of this study was to determine the value of total and differential WBC counts and their association with MS in patients suffering from schizophrenia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 100 subjects in the study gro...

Objective: The present study attempts to determine normal values of CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 ratio, total WBC and differential counts, hematocrit and total lymphocyte count (TLC) in healthy HIV sero-negative and sero-positive subjects, and to assess the prognostic significance of these parameters in these subjects as compared to AIDS subjects. Material and Methods: A total of 300 subjects (147 M, 153 ...
