which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A 53-year-old man presented with a history of weight loss of 10 kg over 3 months. A peripheral blood count indicated a leukocyte count of 49.0×10 3 /L and 80% segmented neutrophils. The neutrophils showed toxic changes and appeared in hypersegmented forms. ...

Cell cycle characteristics, phagocytosis and maturation of immature white blood cells from seven patients with Ph’-positive chronic myelocytic leukemia were studied in vitro. In five patients whose cells contained only one Ph’ chromosome there were two in early stable phase, one in transitional phase, and two in blastic crisis. The other two patients had cell lines with more than one Ph1 chromo...

Neutrophil kinetics of acute experimental infection were studied with diisopropylfluorophosphate-(32)P labeling in 31 dogs inoculated intrabronchially with pneumococci. In vitro neutrophil labeling indicated a rapid transit time through the blood in early infections, with an elevated marginal granulocyte pool sometimes preceding an elevation of the circulating granulocyte pool. 13 hr after infe...

This paper examines the hypothesis that both stock returns and volatility are asymmetrical functions of past information derived from domestic and US stock-market news. By employing a double-threshold regression GARCH model to investigate four major index-return series, we find significant evidence to sustain the asymmetrical hypothesis of stock returns. Specifically, evidence strongly supports...

The goal was to identify the changes in blood levels of hormones, cytokines, and number leukocytes associated with success laser treatment hypertrophic scars. Material Methods — lipid, hormonal, cytokine leukocyte composition studied 15 women normotrophic scars (Group 1) 30 2). Blood taken before on days 5-7 menstrual cycle, followed by treatment. clinical parameters were assessed 3 months afte...

Background: During perinatal period, the immune system of calves is developing, making them vulnerable to infectious diseases that affect their growth or increasing mortality. Phytobiotics have various physiological effects on animals could improve performance and health. In this study, effect a feed herbal mixture made from Azadirachta indica Phyllanthus niruri were evaluated in dairy calves. ...

A 64-year-old man, who had been suspected as a hepatitis carrier 25 years ago and also was detected with a decrease of leukocytes and lymphocytes in the previous year, visited our hospital on 31 January, because of vertigo. Neurological status revealed normal findings. Blood cell count disclosed 4200 WBCs with a differential count of 66% segmented neutrophils, 8% non-segmented neutrophils, 10% ...
