Severe river pollution creates a stressful environment for aquatic organisms, causing disturbances to their health and leading extinction. Thus, in this study, the stress responses of tolerant (Oreochromis niloticus) sensitive (Cyprinus carpio) fish Citarum River, Indonesia were investigated. The two groups exposed varying levels lengths water pollution, blood was sampled, identified. red cells...

Purpose: Microgravity causes major changes in various systems of the body in space, such as shift in cerebrospinal fluid, decreased red blood cells count, and electrolyte loss. These complications are very important in space and we should find new approaches to prevent the side effects of microgravity in astronauts. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 21 adult ma...

INTRODUCTION Given the severity of the current imbalance between blood donor supply and recipient demand, discarded blood drawn from the routine venesections of haemochromatosis (HFE-HH) patients may serve as a valuable alternative source for blood banks and transfusion. We investigated whether functional or biochemical differences existed between HFE-HH and control blood samples, with particul...

The purpose of this study was to determine changes in hematological and plasma indices of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio with regard to age, sex and hormonal treatment. Sixty fish were used to assess the age factor. Also, 20 fish including female and male were assigned to determine blood indices with regard to sex and hormonal treatment. The pituitary gland extract was used as hormone for males an...

This was a cross sectional study designed to evaluate the cluster of differentiation 4(CD4) count and hematological indices in HIV serodiscordant partners Jos, Nigeria. A total 20 Serodiscordant couples (40 patients) non controls) aged between 18 49 years were included study. Each participant provided 5ml venous blood sample that collected into EDTA containers for analysis CD4 indices. The foll...

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is affected by the red blood cell (RBC) lifespan. The association of HbA1c with RBC indices in pregnant women is not widely investigated. In this study, we investigated the association between HbA1c and Hb/RBCs count and RBCs indices; specifically, Hb/RBCs count and indices in nondiabetic pregnant women. Across-sectional study was carried-out at the antenatal care of Saad...

Index option pricing on world market indices are investigated using Lévy processes with no positive jumps. Economically this is motivated by the possible absence of longer horizon short positions while mathematically we are able to evaluate for such processes the probability of a Rally Before a Crash (RBC). Three models are used to e¤ectively calibrate index options at an annual maturity and it...
