an experiment was conducted on eight weak and anaemic goats revealed pale conjunctivae, increased heart rate, rough hair coat, dullness and depression. the haematology showed significantly decreased haemoglobin (7.37±0.16 g %), packed cell volume (pcv)(23.37±0.56%),total erythrocyte count (tec)(8.12±0.18 million/cumm), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (mch) (9.10±0.30 pg) and mean corpuscular volum...

Hematologic parameters were studied in giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima), mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos platyrhynchos) and various species of diving ducks at seasinal intervals throughout the year. Highest values for packed cell volume, hemoglobin content and erythrocyte counts were found in the winter and pre-nesting periods. Mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglo...

By JAVIER ROBLES GIL, M.D., AND DIEGO GONZALEZ TERAN, M.D. T HIS work is a contribution to the knowledge of certain hematologic standards among a group of healthy residents of Mexico City. The standards studied are volume of packed red cells, hemoglobin in grams per ioo cc. of blood, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentr...

OBJECTIVE Biological variation consists of between-person (BP) and within-person (WP) variation. Estimates of WP coefficients of variation (CVw) and BP coefficients of variation (CVg) for hematology laboratory tests were estimated from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHODS NHANES is a survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population that u...

The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) values are reduced in the usual patients, and the mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is reduced in long standing or severe disease. The degree of change in red cell indices is related in part to the duration 60 and in part to the severity of anaemia. In mild iron deficiency anaemia of short duration, the ind...

Iron deficiency anemia is common problem during pregnancy. Red cell size variation (anisocytosis) is the earliest morphologic changes in iron deficiency anemia. Red cell distribution width is a quantitative measure of red cell size variation and it can give the idea of early iron deficiency before other test to become positive. 190 pregnant women were included in this study. Red cell distributi...
