this study was conducted to determine the prevalence and effect of parasitic infection on erythrocyte indices in trade camels slaughtered in maiduguri, nigeria. two hundred adult one humped camels comprised of 87 (43.5 %) males and 113 (56.5 %) females were examined for helminths and hemoparasites at their slaughter time according to the standard procedures. an overall prevalence of 79 % for si...

background : we intend to study the inhibitory effect of sulfur compound in ramsar hot spring mineral on tumor-genesis ability of high natural background radiation. objective : the radioprotective effect of sulfur compounds was previously shown on radiation-induced chromosomal aberration, micronuclei in mouse bone marrow cells and human peripheral lymphocyte. ramsar is known for having the high...

several studies have shown that hepatocyte membrane composition changes in patients with cholestasis and cirrhosis. these alterations that are because of intracellular oxidative stress are supposed to be reflected in erythrocyte membrane. the aim of this study was to investigate the modification of erythrocyte membrane along with hexokinase and antioxidant enzymes during development of cirrhosi...

background: hydrogen sulfide (h 2 s) exhibits both physiological and toxicological roles in the biological systems. acute exposure to high levels of h 2 s is life threatening while long-term exposure to ambient levels of h 2 s elicits human health effects. objective: to study the harmful effects of long-term exposure to low levels of h 2 s on human blood cells. methods: 110 adult workers from i...

febrile convulsion (fc) is the most common seizure disorder in childhood. white blood cell (wbc) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) are commonly measured in fc. trauma, vomiting and bleeding can also lead to wbc and esr so the blood tests must carefully be interpreted by the clinician. in this cross sectional study 410 children(163 with fc), aged 6 months to 5 years, admitted to bahrami c...

abstract background: the study was established to define the prevalence of neonatal microcytosis and to estimate the incidence rate of alpha-thalassemia as its leading cause, in tehran, iran. materials and methods: overall, 800 neonates were selected from two populations of newborns and admitted neonates. three hundred and sixty-one cord blood samples were obtained from deliveries in mahdieh ho...

background: malaria remains the world’s most devastating human parasitic infection. our goal was to assess the capacity of increasing concentrations of five antimalarial drugs (fansidartm, halfantm, quinine, coartemtm and chloroquine phosphate) to elicit the generation of methemoglobin in three human erythrocyte genotypes (hb aa, hb as and hb ss). materials and methods: spectrophotometric metho...

  Mild anaemia among patients with hyperthyroidism, reduction in intracranial zinc content of erythrocytes and anti- haemolysis of whole blood of patients with Graves, disease under laboratory Condition are the facts which indicate that although erythrocytes are devoid of receptors for thyroid hormones, they are affected by the excess of these hormones. In order to find out the reasons for suc...
