This study evaluates the haematological parameters and the observed erythrocytes morphological changesin dogs raised in Ibadan, Oyo State in the south western part of Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from sixty-four apparently healthy dogs. The haematological parameters of the blood samples collected were evaluated with the quantification of the percentage erythrocyte morphological abnorma...

A total of 105, 14 weeks old cockerels weighing 1.49 ± 0.023 kg were used to investigate the effects of Vitex doniana leaf meal (VDLM) on performance, haematological and serum biochemical parameters in cockerels over a seven-week experimental trials. The cockerels were divided into three (3) treatment groups of 0%, 5% and 10% inclusion levels of VDLM in a completely randomized design layout. Th...

two fungal species glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices as well as meloidogyne javanica nematode were used in order to evaluate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on control of different populations of root-knot nematode in tomato. a greenhouse test was established as factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 8 treatments and 4 replicates followed by mycorrhizal...

OBJECTIVES To screen non-diabetic hypertensive Nigerian patients with a view to determining their haematological and coagulation profiles. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty (30) consecutive non-diabetic hypertensive patients, aged 20-60 years and 30 age and sex-matched, apparently healthy subjects, were investigated for some haematological and coagulation parameters, blood pressure, pulse, body wei...

Reference intervals for clinical laboratory parameters are important for assessing eligibility, toxicity grading and management of adverse events in clinical trials. Nonetheless, haematological and biochemical parameters used for clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa are typically derived from industrialized countries, or from WHO references that are not region-specific. We set out to establish...

The economic, physiological and immunological costs of endo-parasitism are documented to be higher in poultry with greater parasite intensities and diversity. The current study was undertaken to determine the effects of helminth burden in domestic guinea fowls at quantified natural infestation levels on body condition, haematological profile and spleen morphometrics. We hypothesized that the sp...

BACKGROUND Dengue Fever is the most common arboviral disease in the world, and presents cyclically in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The four serotypes of dengue virus, 1, 2, 3, and 4, form an antigenic subgroup of the flaviviruses (Group B arboviruses). Transmission to humans of any of these serotypes initiates a spectrum of host responses, from in apparent to severe and someti...

OBJECTIVE To find out the relationship between recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) with deficiencies of haemoglobin, haematocrit, serum vitamin B12, serum Ferritin and red blood cells (RBC) Folate level. STUDY DESIGN An analytical cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Oral Health Sciences, Shaikh Zayed Federal Postgraduate Medical Complex, Lahore, from February to...

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 ...
