background: shell is one of the most important by-products of shrimp processing methods which can potentially pollute the environment, whereas shrimp shell contain large amounts of chitin and chitosan and can be used as immune and growth stimulator in aquaculture. objectives: the purpose of present study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of chitosan extracted from litopenaeus...

objective(s): the impact of fasting in ramadan as a unique type of nutritional regimen on biochemical and hematological parameters is still an issue of debate. almost very little is known regarding the regulatory role(s) of this nutritional status on immune responses or inflammation.   materials and methods:   the levels of biochemical parameters were determined using commercial diagnostic kits...

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 ...

background non-organic failure to thrive (nftt) is the most common cause of failure to thrive (ftt) which is attributed to inadequate nutrition due to economic factors or parental neglect. nftt can lead to a vicious cycle of poor and inadequate eating and severity of anemia. the aim of this study was to determine the hematological indices in children with nftt. materials and methods in a cross ...

This study was aimed at investigating the hematological, biochemical and trace mineral status of cattle with foreign body rumen impaction. Hematological, serum biochemical and trace mineral parameters of cattle with Foreign Body Rumen impaction (FBR) and normal cattle Without Foreign Body Rumen impaction (WFBR) were analyzed in order to evaluate their influence as risk factors in the etio-patho...

Objective. This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of gingivitis on white blood cell count and certain hematological indices of pregnant women in their first, second, and third trimesters. Material and methods. General, oral and dental health status examinations were performed on 86 pregnant women, aged between 17 and 37 years (mean age = 25.0 ± 0.5 years), in their first, second, and thi...
