The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of the squat jump test (SJ) and countermovement jump test (CMJ), in fifty-six children (30 girls and 26 boys) with ages ranging from 6 to 8 years. Each subject performed two evaluation sessions (T1, T2) with seven days between tests. The results show that the CMJ test has a high intratrial reproducibility in T1 and T2 measured through intra...

Severe hemolytic anemia in patients with disseminated tuberculosis is exceedingly rare. We report an episode of Coombs'-positive hemolytic anemia in a previously healthy young man with miliary tuberculosis, resulting in a hemoglobin level of 5 g/dL and an undetectable haptoglobin level. The patient responded well to treatment with antituberculosis drugs, and the results of the direct Coombs' te...

Folic acid deficiency with the picture of a megaloblastic bone marrow may develop in haemolytic anaemia, and, on the other hand, both vitamin B(12) and folic acid deficiency may produce signs of haemolysis. As the correct interpretation of a positive antiglobulin reaction associated with megaloblastic erythropoiesis is particularly important, the effect of deficiency of vitamin B(12) and folic ...

Even though clinical features in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia vary according to the type of AIHA, anaemic syndrome stays common for most cases. A positive Coombs test or direct anti-globulin developed 1945 by Coombs, Mourant and Race, is deciding factor AIHA diagnosis. Since immunologic mechanisms causing erythrocyte destruction between AIHAs, treatment also different. Empirical approach with ...

Performance-based outcomes such as the T-Test, Edgren Side Step Test (ESST), and Illinois Agility Test (IAT) have been used to assess agility in athletes and nonathletes; however, the reliability and validity of these tests have not been established. The purpose of this study was to establish the reliability and convergent construct validity of the ESST, T-Test, and IAT in young, nondisabled, p...

as evidence of autoimmune phenomena. The experimental production of positive antiglobulin tests by drugs and chemical agents, however, has suggested that nonimmunologic mechanisms may also be responsible for protein coating of erythrocytes.2’3 During attempts to produce tumors of the reticuloendothelial system in rats by injection of trypan blue, an anemia, chacacterized by increased ervthrocyt...
