The blood of 104 medical inpatients was examined at various intervals during storage for 72 hours using a Coulter S counter. Over this period remarkable stability of the white cell count, red cell count, haemoglobin, and mean cell haemoglobin was demonstrated. This permits a useful interpretation of indices obtained in routine postal samples sent to the laboratory by general practitioners for s...

The study aimed at analysing and comparing haematological indices, blood saturation and dimensions of red blood cells of Ross 308 broiler chickens of both sexes. On day 44 of rearing, blood was withdrawn once from 60 randomly selected chickens (1:1 sex ratio). Prior to blood withdrawal the chickens were weighed and their heart rate and haemoglobin saturation were assessed. The following blood p...

Blood was analyzed from eighty (forty males and forty females) adult individuals of Polypedates teraiensis to establish reference ranges for its hematological and serum biochemical parameters. The peripheral blood cells were differentiated as erythrocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes, basophils, and thrombocytes, with similar morphology to other anurans. Morphology of blood...

Tuberculosis is a highly prevalent chronic infectious disease caused and it’s still a common disease in develop countries and still a major cause of mortality today , can affect many part of the body like lung and bone this defect can lead to defect in most of blood component. The aim of the study is to measure some of hematological parameters among Sudanese patients affected with pulmonary tub...

Whereas many differential leukocyte count methods for high somatic cell count (SCC) milk from mastitic cows are available, only a few have been developed for low SCC milk. We have developed a flow cytometric differential leukocyte count method for low SCC milk. The procedure consists of 1) 1.5 ml of diluted milk sample (30%, vol/vol dilution with PBS), 2) centrifugation, 3) leukocyte labeling w...

Background: This study was conducted to observe the effects on cord blood CBC parameters of newborns of delivery routes (by spontaneous vaginal and caesarean section), maternal age and parity in our setup. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study based on cord blood sample of 404 newborns (271 delivered by spontaneous vaginally and 133 by elective caesarean section), and their mothers from July...

Reference normal hematological values have been documented for various domestic animals under various climatic/geographical conditions; however there is a dearth of information in the literature concerning these values for camels kept in desert. The present pilot study was conducted to establish reference normal range of salient hematological parameters in clinically healthy camels (30 males an...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate whether platelet indices and leukocyte count predict the diagnosis of Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid induced pseudothrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP) differ this entity from immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Methods: One-hundred sixty-nine individuals (52 patients diagnosed with EDTA-PTCP, 52 newly ITP, 65 healthy individuals) were included. Demographic data c...

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of acute and chronic exercise on erythrocyte membrane stability and various blood indices in a population consisting of five national-level male swimmers, over 18 weeks of training. The evaluations were made at the beginning and end of the 1st, 7th, 13th and 18th weeks, when volume and training intensity have changed. The effects manifested at the begi...
