Maternal-fetal ABO incompatibility is a common hematological problem affecting the newborn. In general, hemolysis is minimal and the clinical course is relatively benign, rarely causing the escalating levels of hyperbilirubinemia and significant anemia commonly associated with Rh hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). The incidence of HDN ranges from one in 150 births to 1:3000 births, dependi...

Recently human interleukin-3 (IL-3) produced by molecular cloning was characterized as a growth factor for basophils and eosinophils in human bone marrow cultures. Since we found a similar activity of the human factor on simian bone marrow cells, we investigated the in vivo effects of recombinant human (rh) IL-3 in healthy rhesus monkeys (n = 10). rh IL-3 was administered subcutaneously (SC) to...

One hundred ninety-two steers (BW = 354 ± 23.5 kg) were used in a randomized block design to evaluate the effects of ionophore and ractopamine hydrochloride (RH) supplementation strategies on performance and carcass characteristics. Twelve pens of 4 steers were assigned to each of the following treatments: unsupplemented control (CON), laidlomycin propionate (12.1 mg/kg DM) with or without RH (...

Intramuscular injection of [6-D-tryptophan]-luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [( D-Trp6]LH-RH) in microcapsules of poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide), designed to release a controlled dose of the peptide over a 30-day period, decreased the weights of androgen-dependent Dunning prostate tumors in rats and suppressed serum testosterone levels more effectively than daily subcutaneous administration...

The present study deals with the distribution of A1A2BO and Rh blood groups among Gonds (107) and Panikas (115) of Anuppur district and Dindori district of Madhya Pradesh. The phenotypic frequency of blood group B was found to be higher among Gonds, whereas blood group O in Panikas. The phenotypic frequency distribution of Rh (D) antigens is higher than that of Rh (d) among both of the populati...

objective(s):helicobacter pylori infection occurs worldwide, but the prevalence of this infection varies greatly among different countries and population groups. the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene a (caga) antibodies in asymptomatic healthy population in the center of iran and to investigate the relation with ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of Rh-negative pregnant women who attended the antenatal clinic and delivered in Rajavithi Hospital. MATERIAL AND METHOD A descriptive retrospective study in Rh-negative pregnant women was done. The present study included the general characteristic of cases, anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis administration, fetal anemia and neonatal jaundice. RESULTS Durin...

Lack of reactivity of IgG autoantibodies with Rhou t t red blood cells does not necessarily imply specificity directed towards the Rh system. Recent reports have indicated that occasionally the autoantibodies of warm antibody type hemolytic anemia may have U-specificity. This report describes an example of auto-anti-U occurring in a patient with myasthenia gravis who had no evidence of hemolysis.

toxoplasma gondii is one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in world. rh, ned and me49 are of the most prevalent clonal types of the parasite isolated till now. differences in pathogenicity and virulence of different types have been investigated in different studies. no controlled study was performed to compare the ability of different types to initiate humoral immune response. we inves...
