During capillary transit, red blood cells (RBCs) must exchange large quantities of CO2 and O2 in typically less than one second, but the degree to which this is rate-limited by diffusion through cytoplasm is not known. Gas diffusivity is intuitively assumed to be fast and this would imply that the intracellular path-length, defined by RBC shape, is not a factor that could meaningfully compromis...

OBJECTIVES Current guidelines recommend the eosin-5'-maleimide (EMA) binding test and cryohemolysis test for screening for hereditary spherocytosis (HS), and the flow cytometric osmotic fragility (FC OF) test was recently developed to replace the classic OF test. We evaluatedthe performance of the EMA binding test, FC OF test, cryohemolysis test, and the hemoglobin (Hb)/mean corpuscular hemoglo...

Hematological traits are important clinical indicators, the genetic determinants of which have not been fully investigated. Common measures of hematological traits include red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin concentration (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelet count (PLT) and white blood cell (WBC) count. ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between iron, ferritin, transferrin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in children with ADHD. METHODS MethodsaaThe sample consisted of 48 ADHD children and sex and age matched control chil...

In this paper we compare the performance of Minton’s et al. min-conflicts hill-climbing (MCHC) algorithm [16], Wallace and Freuder’s MCHC algorithm [25], Morris’ breakout algorithm (BA) [17, 18], and modified variants of the BA that we developed on static constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and recurrent dynamic constraint satisfaction problems (rDCSPs). Also, we used a simple evolutionary ...

The intensive aquaculture needs accurate information on the identification and control of stress situations and/or diseases in order to ensure healthy fishes. The evaluation of blood parameters is the fastest way to detect stress symptoms. In this paper the hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), differential count of defense cells (leucocytes and...

The results of laboratory analyses, including the proximate composition, physicochemical and sensory properties of meat from the studied pigs, point to its high processing suitability and eating quality. Hematological indicators in the blood of the analyzed animal groups were within the reference ranges, excluding MCHC levels which were somewhat elevated. Significant differences were observed i...

A comparative study of serum biochemical and hematological parameters from Andinoacara rivulatus Ichthyoelephas humeralis in Los Ríos Province, Ecuador, was carried out. Two the native species that are most commercialized Quevedo, Mocache Fumisa, were identified; 60 specimens captured each area (180 total). factorial design (3×2) used: three habitat zones (Fumisa, Mocache) two (A. I. humeralis)...

Hematological and biochemical parameters were determined in 82 West African Dwarf goats with foreign body rumen impaction (FBR) and 40 normal WAD goats without foreign body rumen impaction (WFBR) in order to evaluate their influence on the etio-pathogenesis of rumen impaction. The mean PCV (26.22%), RBC (9.03 X 106/µL), Hb (8.38g/dl) and MCHC (32.20g/dl) were significantly lower in FBR than in ...

Phytochemical screening and effect of ethanolic root extract of parameters on albino rats in Akwa Ibom State was investigated. were: haemoglobin concentration (Hb.), white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), platelet (PLT), haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). of the extracts were examined intraperitoneally using albino ...
