INTRODUCTION The Mean platelet volume and platelet counts are indicators of thrombotic potentials, and risk factors for microvascular complications in diabetics. This study aimed to establish variations in platelet counts and mean platelet volume in type 2 diabetic patients on treatment and non-diabetic controls. METHODS This was an unmatched case-control study involving 200 participants cons...

Over the past decade umbilical cord blood (UCB) has been used as an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Worldwide, more than 500 000 cord blood units (CBUs) have been cryopreserved and stored in banks.1 It has been shown that the CD34+ cell content influences engraftment and survival after UBC transplants.2 Although there are no fully agreed upon standardized criteria for sel...

Objective: To detect hemoglobin level and Red blood cell indices in apparently healthy Sudanese male, to establish safety for both donor recipient. perform estimation donors using automated machine (Blood counter). Material Methods: Venous samples were taken from 200 males Hemoglobin was measured an counter (Sysmex KN21), accompanied by peripheral films assessed any abnormalities. Results: The ...

The decision to provide antiretroviral therapy to HIV-positive patients mainly depends on the CD4(+) T-cell count, with therapy indicated at a cut-off value of <350-200 CD4(+) T cells/microl blood. Monitoring patients is still a major problem in countries with limited resources where blood samples often have to be transported over long distances to regional referral centres in which the count c...

The gold standard to count circulating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HPCs) is to enumerate CD34 cells by using flow cytometry [1, 2]. XE-2100 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan), a currently used hematology analyzer, can be used to quantify HPCs, generating counts that reportedly correlate with those obtained using flow cytometric analysis of CD34 cells; however, XE-2100 HPC counts were 1.86-fold ...

conclusions when evaluating flank pain in patients, it is important to remember that cbc parameters may support urinary stone disease, and considering cbc results may be useful in the diagnosis of urinary stone disease. patients and methods this study was a retrospective observational study of 3,099 patients who were admitted to the urology outpatient clinic or diagnosed with urinary stone dise...

We established age- and gender-specific reference ranges for the 36 routine complete blood cell (CBC) and 57 cell population data (CPD) items in the Sysmex XN-2000 (Sysmex, Japan). In total, 280 peripheral blood samples were obtained from an equal number of healthy adults. Values for 36 routine items and 57 CPD items were obtained for each sample, and the results were categorized into six subgr...
