conclusions fennel increased red and white blood cells probably due to the presence of polyphenols and antioxidant activity of fennel and reduced negative effects of free radicals on blood cells. results fennel increased mean rbc (7.54 ± 0.53 × 106) and wbc (5.89 ± 0.78 × 103) values, especially at a dose of 250 mg/ml and ct (2.45 ± 0.20) at a dose of 500mg/ml compared to the control group (p <...

Background: Development of locally-derived hematological reference intervals is necessary for improving the quality of health care and clinical trials. However hematological reference intervals are affected by several variables including age, gender and environmental factors. Therefore this study was conducted to determine the gender and age-specific hematological reference intervals of healthy...

OBJECTIVE Copper deficiency has been reported to cause hematological disorders. However, its clinical and hematological characteristics are not fully understood. Therefore, we investigated bedridden patients suffering from copper deficiency and tried to clarify the clinical features of hematological disorders caused by this condition. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five patients with typical copper def...

Malaria is an epidemiological problem at the global level. In Indian sub continent it is a major cause of mortality in immunosupressed patients and in extreme ages of life. Our study is based on early detection of malaria by hematological parameters. A study on 287 malaria patients was carried out at P.D.U Medical College, Rajkot between 1st July 2009 to 31st December 2009 with an objective to ...

Constitutional pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 [inv(9)] occurs in 0.8 to 2% of the normal population and has long been considered a normal variant. It is controversial whether inv(9) is a predisposing factor for acute leukemia (AL). The effect of inv(9) on bone marrow (BM) recovery after stem cell transplantation or chemotherapy is undetermined. Between March 2001 and December 2008, the c...

TO THE EDITOR: In their recent editorial on the disappointing disagreement between two World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratories evaluating samples for detecting recombinant human erythropoietin (Epo) in urine, Delanghe and Joyner (4) concluded that blood-based indirect Epo tests offer an interesting alternative (2). This is ideally true, considering that the urine test is proven ...

Aim: To determine the frequency of non malignant hematological causes of pancytopenia. Bone marrow examination of 148 cases of suspected hematological disorders was carried out in a DHQ KDA Hospital, Kohat from Jan. 2011to Dec. 2013. Results: Among the non malignant hematological disorders, megaloblastic anemia was the most common disorder i.e., (18.2%) followed by aplastic anemia (8.8%), ITP (...

Generally, clinical presentations of Graves' disease range from asymptomatic disease to overt symptomatic hyperthyroidism with heat intolerance, tremor, palpitation, weight loss, and increased appetite. However, atypical presentation of Graves' disease with hematological system involvement, notably pancytopenia, is distinctly uncommon. Hereby, we present and discuss a series of three untreated ...

Cellular components of the blood reflect specific changes in an organ or body system or more often, a general response of the individual to some physiological or pathological conditions. In this chapter, we will review the main physiological factors that should be considered when interpreting equine hematological profiles. The interpretation of the hematological profile in conjunction with hist...
