introduction methylene blue was first described for the treatment of methemoglobinemia but practical usage of the compound for surgical purpose is common. the aim of this report is to describe a case of hemolysis in neonatal period as a potential hazard of methylene blue toxicity without presence of g6pd deficiency. case presentation in october 2015, a 36-week ga female infant with 2.05 kg weig...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a thrombotic microangiopathy defined by the triad of sudden onset hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. We describe rare case atypical HUS secondary to pancreatitis with an unknown etiology in 20-year-old male who presented complaint nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain.

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia occurs in a diverse group of disorders, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and prosthetic cardiac valves. Hemolytic anemia also occurs as a rare complication after mitral valve repair. In this report, we describe a case of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia following myxoma excision and mitral valve repair, which was presen...

abstract background: occupational exposure studies indicate that formaldehyde exposure causes temporary and consistent effects on industrial workers exposed to formalin. case: the case was a 36-year-old man who had developed intravascular hemolytic anemia caused by formalin after inhalation exposure. formalin is a clear solution of 37% formaldehyde in water. the primary route of exposure to for...

sixty-six children with g6pd deficiency were evaluated retrospectively to ascertain the clinical features, etiology, ultimate outcome and population at risk, the occurrence of jaundice in 18 neonates (group j) was, contrary to other countries, in the form of neonatal jaundice type ii. sepsis, prematurity, hypoxia and acidosis were associating factors. 77.8% of neonates had exchange blood transf...

AIM To study the influence of enterococci on human sperm membrane in vitro. METHODS Ejaculated human sperm were artificially infected with beta-hemolytic or non-beta-hemolytic enterococci at the bacteria: sperm ratio of 50:1 at 37 degrees . Sperm membrane integrity was examined after incubation for 1, 3 and 5 h by hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test and electron microscopy. RESULTS Sperm infect...

Using thin-layer agarose gel isoelectric focusing overlaid with thin-layer erythrocyte agar plates, we found that crude streptolysin O (SLO) consisted of a variety of hemolytic components with different isoelectric points (pIs) and that the distribution of pIs in crude SLO was different even in samples which were produced from a single strain of Streptococcus pyogenes under similar conditions. ...

Numerous therapeutic peptides do not enter the clinical trials just because of their high hemolytic activity. Recently, we developed a database, Hemolytik, for maintaining experimentally validated hemolytic and non-hemolytic peptides. The present study describes a web server and mobile app developed for predicting, and screening of peptides having hemolytic potency. Firstly, we generated a data...
