The implementation of a laboratory information system (LIS) at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Thailand provides valuable medical resources, particularly dengue. Hematocrit (Hct), which is often derived from hemoglobin (Hgb), important diagnosis and management This study aimed to evaluate Hct value obtained LIS automated analyzer. We prospectively enrolled 163 hospitalized adults with den...

OBJECTIVE Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is the minimally invasive surgical treatment for patients with localized prostate cancer. Perioperative or postoperative complications following RARP have been reported in some studies and severe postoperative bleeding after RARP is rare, but hemodynamic instability may necessitate open surgical exploration and be associated with considera...

BACKGROUND The common adverse effects of linezolid for treating septic patients with gram-positive cocci is anemia and thrombocytopenia, which limit its clinical application. OBJECTIVES We determined the effects of vitamin B6 adjunctive therapy on linezolid-associated cytopenias, and retrospectively studied 75 septic patients who received at least 7 days of linezolid treatment. METHODS Pati...

The effects of graded atmospheric O2 concentration (12, 14, 16, 18, and 20.6%) on chick performance and propensity to develop ascites were investigated using commercial male broilers. Chicks were housed in calorimetry chambers for 2 wk with incoming air diluted with N to provide the desired O2 concentration at thermoneutral (TN) ambient temperature. Day 14 body weight, weight gain, feed consump...

Effect of increasing blood viscosity during extreme hemodilution on capillary perfusion and tissue oxygenation was investigated in the awake hamster skinfold model. Two isovolemic hemodilution steps were performed with 6% Dextran 70 [molecular weight (MW) = 70,000] until systemic hematocrit (Hct) was reduced by 65%. A third step reduced Hct by 75% and was performed with the same solution [low v...

The oxygen transport capacity of fluorocarbons was investigated in the hamster chamber window model microcirculation to determine the rate at which oxygen is delivered to the tissue in conditions of extreme hemodilution [hematocrit (Hct) 11%]. Hydroxyethlyl starch (HES 200; 200 kDa molecular mass) was used as a plasma expander for two isovolemic hemodilutions performed with 10% HES 200 until a ...

Dynamic changes in an organism of heifers at the end pregnancy, and primiparous cows early lactation, may imply morphological parameters. Their evaluation contribute to a better understanding changes, occurring pregnant lactating young cows. Hence, aim study was investigate, analyze evaluate hematological parameters peripheral blood (RBC, MCV, HGB, MCH, MCHC, WBC, PLT HCT) heifers/primiparous c...

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) appeared as outbreak in 2019 Wuhan, China. It has been classified pandemic and more severe than predicted; with infections already recorded a variety of countries. This study aims to confirm the COVID-19 infection through following tests: hematological, C-reactive protein (CRP). Samples were collected from infected patients sent National Flu Center (Central Public...

This study aims to investigate the variations of hematological and ionic parameters Holstein dairy cows according physiological stage, as an indicator their health status. The survey was conducted between January March, 2020 carried out on 4 lots 15 each. analysis blood included: red cells (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (HGB), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), content (MCH), concentration (MC...

background renal ischemia reperfusion (ir) contributes to the development of acute renal failure (arf). oxygen free radicals are considered principal components involved in the pathophysiological tissue alterations observed during renal ir. objective in this study, we compared the effects of melatonin (mel) and erythropoietin (epo), which are known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents, in i...
