Intravascular hemolysis of moderate or severe degree in man is often followed by acute renal failure. Most studies of renal function have been carried out on patients during or after the oliguric or anuric phase and have, therefore, shed little information on pathogenesis of the renal failure. The present studies were undertaken to clarify the changes in renal function which precede anuria resu...

OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the performance of a newly designed percutaneous catheter with expandable pump. BACKGROUND The device was designed as a percutaneously insertable temporary support system for patients with acute left ventricular failure. METHODS The pump catheter (introduction diameter 9-F) is positioned in the left ventricle. The rotor is driven by an external motor through...

Shape changes of GSH-treated human erythrocytes during the acidified serum test were examined by a differential interference microscope. A time-course study of the erythrocytes undergoing complement-mediated hemolysis revealed two kinds of hemolytic processes. One is rapid hemolysis, in which GSH-treated erythrocytes are transformed into spherical forms prior to hemolysis. The other process is ...

100 patients with beta-thalassemia trait, comprised of 55 men and 45 women, participated in a study to measure serum lipoproteins. the results were compared with the data obtained from 100 control subjects of the same age and sex. a significantly lower level of mean serum total cholesterol and ldl cholesterol, and a much higher level of hdl cholesterol were obtained in beta-thalassemia trait as...

The current study aimed to detect S.pneumoniae, which is one of the gram-positive bacteria that gives partial α-hemolysis on blood agar media, as well has ability complete hemolysis (beta)-hemolysis under anaerobic conditions. Fifty sputum specimens were collected from patients in Ibn sena and Al Salam hospitals Mosul/ Iraq august 2021 March 2022. Five isolates diagnosed S.pneumoniae exhibited ...

the oxidative hemolysis of rat erythrocytes induced by 2,2’-azobis–(2-amidinopropane) (aaph) and its inhibition by rosemary essential oil was studied. different concentrations (0.178, 0.357, 0.534 and 0.712 ml/ml) of the essential oil showed no significant hemolysis compared to phosphate buffer solution. aaph (25 mm and 50 mm) induced hemolysis in a time-dependent manner. diff e r e n t concent...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare hematologic entity in children. Etiologies are mainly viruses or bacteria. We describe here a case of severe warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (IgG- and C3d-positive direct antiglobulin test) in an immunocompetent 6-month-old infant with acute Cytomegalovirus infection that responded well to corticotherapy and intraveneous immunoglobulins without using blood...

Hemolysis caused by flow in hypodermic needles interferes with a number of tests on blood samples drawn by venipuncture, including assays for metabolites, electrolytes, and enzymes, causes discomfort during dialysis sessions, and limits transfusion flow rates. To evaluate design modifications to address this problem, as well as hemolysis issues in other cardiovascular devices, computational flu...

Portuguese man-of-war stings occur frequently at North American beaches. Most produce only local pain and pruritus. A 4-year-old girl who developed a hemolytic reaction and acute renal failure following a severe sting is described. As neither sequela has been previously reported, it is speculated that either the large dose of venom or chance intravenous inoculation may have been responsible. Ev...
