objective: elevated nucleated red blood cell (nrbc) count is introduced as a potential marker of intra-uterine growth restriction (iugr). to investigate the probable association regardless of any known underlying disease, we aimed to study disturbances in nrbc count in infants experiencing idiopathic iugr. materials and methods: twenty three infants regarded iugr without any known cause were ch...

Understanding immune function in the context of other life-history traits is crucial to understand the evolution of life histories, at both the individual and species levels. As the interest in assessing immune function for these comparative purposes grows, an important question remains unanswered: can immune function be broadly characterized using one or two simple measures? Often, interpretat...

Impairment of cellular immunity related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection predisposes patients to opportunistic infections. In this report, we describe a 16-month-old boy with salmonella meningitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The patient was referred to the Infectious Diseases Ward with a history of prolonged fever and refractory vomiting. In direct smear of the...

RBC (Red Blood Cells) and WBC (White are the main constituents of blood. fight infections by attacking bacteria viruses, that invade body, while transports oxygen in body. Many blood diseases can be detected using count values. Immunity-related like Leukopenia Leukocytosis easily value. The manual counting method cells laboratories takes at least one day to get results, which becomes a major dr...

most of the erythrocyte related diseases are detectable by hematology images analysis. at the first step of this analysis, segmentation and detection of blood cells are inevitable. in this study, a novel method using a line operator and watershed algorithm is rendered for erythrocyte detection and segmentation in blood smear images, as well as reducing over-segmentation in watershed algorithm t...

conclusions specimen adequacy and diagnosis of inflammatory reaction were better in liquid base smear and convention smear, respectively. results specimen adequacy and smear quality were significantly better in liquid base sampling (p = 0.03); presence of benign cellular changes was not different between the two groups (p = 0.389). diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis was significantly better with ...

Exposure to high fluorine can cause toxicity in human and animals. Currently, there are no systematic studies on effects of high fluorine on blood cellular immunity and humoral immunity in mice. We evaluated the alterations of blood cellular immunity and humoral immunity in mice by using flow cytometry and ELISA. In the cellular immunity, we found that sodium fluoride (NaF) in excess of 12 mg/K...

Restraint-induced stress (RS) increases histamine concentration in the brain. There is no previous report regarding the role of histamine receptors in immunomodulatory effect of RS. In the present study the role of brain histamine receptors on reduction of humoral and cellular immune function induced by RS was evaluated. For this purpose male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were immunized with sheep re...

BACKGROUND In experimental models of human and mouse malaria, sterilizing liver stage immunity that blocks progression of Plasmodium infection to the symptomatic blood stage can be readily demonstrated. However, it remains unclear whether individuals in malaria-endemic areas acquire such immunity. METHODS In Mali, 251 healthy children and adults aged 4-25 years who were free of blood-stage Pl...

Highlight:1. The signs and symptoms of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis those diabetes mellitus were similar.2. Male, aged 51-75 years old, working in private sector are characteristics most the diabetic tuberculosis.Abstract:Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a type disorder where patients’ blood sugar above average. can cause an abundance comorbidities, from viral infection until metabolic ...
