Semen hyperviscosity (SHV) is one of the factors involved in deficiency in sperm function. This research aimed to evaluate seminal plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in infertile patients with hyperviscous and non-hyperviscous semen samples to understand whether hyperviscous semen is associated with oxidative damage in infertile subjects. In this cross sect...

OBJECTIVES To determine the earliest retinal changes associated with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) and to ascertain the serum IgM and serum viscosity (SV) levels at which these changes occur. METHODS Patients with WM were evaluated using indirect ophthalmoscopy with scleral depression, laser Doppler retinal blood flow measurements, and serum IgM and SV determinations. Hemodynamic finding...

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young adults is considered by some authors as an autonomous disease, characterized by peculiar risk factor pattern, clinical course and prognosis. We studied, in a group of 96 patients aged < 46 years with recent AMI, the haemorheological parameters (whole-blood, plasma and serum viscosity, haematocrit, whole-blood filterability and erythrocyte deformability...

We present a case report of a 10-year-old male with nephrotic syndrome who presented with a complaint of shortness of breath. The patient had been recently hospitalized for an exacerbation of nephrotic syndrome and had received steroid and diuretic therapy. Initial vital signs showed tachycardia and mild tachypnea. After being observed for more than four hours without deterioration he was disch...

In the present study, the red blood cell values whether serum or plasma was pipette was tested and found to be a used and whether the test was performed suitable viscometer for detection of the at room temperature or 37#{176} C. Based on hyperviscosity syndrome in multiple these observations, a rapid screening test myeloma and macroglobulinemia. Addifor the measurement of serum or plasma tional...

Solitary bone plasmacytoma (SPB) can progress to generalized myeloma if not treated early. The elderly population is increasing and delays in diagnosis of plasma cell malignancies are frequent among them. Hyperglobulinemia of multiple myeloma (MM) plays a role in hyperviscosity syndrome (HVS). A 65-year-old woman with hypertension and diabetes mellitus was admitted due to loss of appetite, musc...
