Since the publication of the dog genome and the construction of high-quality genome-wide SNP arrays, thousands of dogs have been genotyped for disease studies. For many of these dogs, additional clinical phenotypes are available, such as hematological and clinical chemistry results collected during routine veterinary care. Little is known about the genetic basis of variation in blood phenotypes...

BACKGROUND It is known from medical literature that such organisms as Ascaris, Borrelia, Mycoplasma, Toxocara and Toxoplasma can cause arthritis or cause vascular changes. We studied their influence on the incidence, course and outcome of Perthes disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients treated for Perthes disease were analysed. Thirty-seven of them took part in a follow-up examinati...

sulfur mustard has been employed in chemical warfare in certain regions including iran. the short and long term biological effects of sulfur mustard contamination have been studied in both basic and clinical aspects. sulfur mustard has been shown to induce a vast array of pathological effects in affected persons. in addition to skin, lung, eyes and gastrointestinal disturbances, sulfur mustard ...

objectives: this study aimed to investigate the effect of water-pipe (wp) smoking on hematological parameters of wistar rats. methods: thirty-five young male rats (200-250 g) were randomly assigned to five groups (n=7). the control group was exposed to room air and the experimental groups were exposed to wp smoking, using a special apparatus designed to have the ability to keep the rats for 40 ...

diazinon is commonly used for pest control in the agricultural fields surrounding freshwater reservoirs. this study was conducted to determine the chronic toxicity of organophosphorous pesticide and its effects on some hematological parameters and biochemical blood plasma profiles of common carp, cyprinus carpio. diazinon was applied at concentrations of 60 and 120î¼g/l preparations in 10, 20 a...

the aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan as immune stimulator on some hematological parameters and stress resistance in rainbow trout. nine hundred rainbow trout (with initial body weight of 25 ± 0.1 g) were obtained from a local farm and acclimated to the laboratory conditions for one week. after that fish were randomly divided into four groups in three replicates. each gro...

this study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 (coq10) supplementation on hematological, enzymes activities and biochemical parameters in broilers with pulmonary hypertension syndrome (phs).two hundred and forty 1-d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 3 groups with 4 replicates. from d 14, the diets were supplemented with coq10 at levels of 0, 20 and 40 mg/kg, res...

Inflammatory polyneuropathy may be associated with various tumorous diseases, including hematological malignancy. A 50-year-old man visited neurologic department complaining of bilateral lower extremities weakness, tingling sensation and weight loss. Initially he was diagnosed as demyelinating sensorimotor after performing the nerve conduction study, furthermore myelodysplastic syndrome reveale...
