Introduction: Musculoskeletal growth is variable during adolescent period and reaches its maximum by 18 years, whereas hemopoietic parameters reach adult values by 15 years. After adolescence period, the blood parameters may vary with nutrition and built of the individual. The purpose of this study was to find out any correlation between anthropometric and hematological parameters after the ado...

AIMS To search for laboratory evidence of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) among apparently healthy children with the chance finding of an isolated increase in hyperchromic red cells (cells with intracellular haemoglobin concentration > 410 g/litre). METHODS Blood and reticulocyte counts and Pink tests were performed on successive children found on routine counts to have > 4% hyperchromic red ce...

OBJECTIVE Increasing studies have reported that erythrocyte parameters, including red blood cells (RBCs), haematocrit (HCT), haemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell distribution width (RDW), are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adults worldwide. However, the association, stratified by sex, remains to be elucidated, particularly in the Pearl River Delta region of China. Therefore, our ai...

Methods: 112 patients and 42 controls were included in this study. Group 1 consisted of males only, Group 2 consisted of females only and Group 3 consisted of both sexes. In all groups, WBC (white blood cell count), RBC (red blood cell count), rdw (red cell distribution width), platelet count, MPV, pdw (platelet distribution width) and NLR parameters from CBC (complete blood count) were compare...

We give some characterizations of the exponential distribution based on the distributional properties and the expected values of record values; the index of record values has the geometric distribution.
