Total white blood cells count is an important diagnostic parameter in both human and veterinary medicines. State-of-the-art performed by flow cytometry combined with light scattering or impedance measurements. Spectroscopy point-of-care has the advantages of miniaturization, low sampling, real-time hemogram analysis. While are proportions, while red bilirubin dominate spectral information, comp...

INTRODUCTION Laboratory tests play a central role in assessing a patient and orienting the diagnostic evaluation. We report a case where the discrepancy between the manual and automatic cell count gave a hint to the final diagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 55-year-old Caucasian man, known to have hepatitis C, was admitted with acute respiratory failure secondary to acute pulmonary edema and diffu...

Concentrations of serum thiols and white blood cell (WBC) count were examined in a group of 124 healthy volunteers. Univariate Pearson's analysis showed a close correlation between WBC count and total homocysteine and WBC and cysteine.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative hematopoietic malignancy with a heterogeneous proliferation of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. The ocular manifestations are rare symptoms of CML. In this case report, a CML patient with retinal hemorrhage is reported as an uncommon symptom. Case presentation: A 35-year-old man was referred due to decreased right eye vi...

Discussions regarding the correlations between elevated white blood cell levels and clinical and pathological stages of acute appendicitis are well known. Recent studies show that a high level of serum bilirubin could emerge as a prognostic marker for gangrenous or perforated stages of acute appendicitis. We studied the correlations between anatomical and pathological stages of acute appendicit...

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) is a well known medicinal plant. The extracts of rhizomes, seeds, flowers and leaves have been reported to have varied therapeutic potential. Flowers are traditionally used to treat diarrhoea, cholera, fever, hepatopathy, hyperdipsia and many bleeding disorders. Furthermore, N. nucifera can be used for antidiabetic. This study was aimed to investigate the effect...

BACKGROUND The health of an individual is known to vary in different countries, in the same country at different times, and in the same individuals at different ages. This means that the condition of individuals must be related to or compared with reference data. Determination of a reference range for the healthy term newborn is clinically important in terms of various complete blood count para...

There is potential for blood related factors to affect aqueous production or optic nerve functions. There have been relationships between inflammatory cell count and glaucoma. Eosinophils have inverse relationship with steroids which is used to induce ocular hypertension. Here we compare hematological parameters for a group of 68 chronic openangle glaucoma (OAG) patients and a non-glaucomatous ...

Introduction The proper evaluation of the hemogram of any animal patient involves the determination of a total erythrocyte count [TRBC], packed cell volume [PCV], hemoglobin concentration [Hb], total white blood cell count [TWBC], white blood cell differential, and the evaluation of a stained peripheral blood film. The basic techniques used in mammalian hematology also apply to that of lower ve...

Objective: In the present study we investigated the role of hematological parameters, including neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio, mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in the evaluation of treatment efficacy in adult patients diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis. Methods: The study group included 45 adult patients diagnosed with cutaneous leishmaniasis ...
