OBJECTIVE Biological variation consists of between-person (BP) and within-person (WP) variation. Estimates of WP coefficients of variation (CVw) and BP coefficients of variation (CVg) for hematology laboratory tests were estimated from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHODS NHANES is a survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population that u...

I Twenty of 47 recently imported cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were found to have malarial infections. The agent identified was Plasmodium inui. All infections were subclinical in nature. Parasitemias ranged from 10 to 900 parasites/mm of whole blood. Preand post-treatment hematologic values were evaluated following treatment with chloroquine. Treatment was effective in clearing para...

Original scientific paper The aim of this study was to determine and evaluation chronic effects of plyometric training on hematological parameters of the Turkish National Alpine Ski Team athletes during 12-week preparation period. In the study 12 sportsmen volunteers participated whose mean age was 17.50 years. Twelve weeks plyometric training protocol performed to participants. The training pr...

background febrile seizures (fs) are the most common type of convulsion in young children. the predisposing factors are still under investigation; however, iron insufficiency might play a role in this regard. objectives our objective was to determine the association between iron status and febrile seizure. patients and methods this prospective case-control study was conducted among 109 children...

Background: Lead exposure is one of the global health problems, especially among pregnant women. Objectives: In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the correlation between blood lead and blood indicators in healthy pregnant women. Methods: This correlational study was conducted on 80 pregnant women hospitalized in Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan during 2015. After receivi...

political and policy settlement further institutionalised surveillance as the basis of the MCHS. The restructured Service has remained constrained by the dominance of health surveillance as the primary program goal even after more varied contracting arrangements replaced CCT. Although recent initiatives indicate signs of hange, narrow surveillancebased guidelines for Victorian MCH Services are ...

OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between third-trimester serum ferritin concentration and hemoglobin and red cell indices to select the best hematologic characteristic to identify women who need iron therapy. METHODS In a prospective study, blood was drawn from pregnant women with hemoglobin above 10 g/dL, and thalassemia trait excluded at booking, at 28-30 weeks' gestation to study the cor...

BACKGROUND It is customary in Southeast Asia to treat pregnant anemic women with iron supplements, but anemia in this region may be complicated by thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies, which lead to an ineffective response. OBJECTIVE The aim was to determine whether routine iron supplementation during pregnancy in this area, which has a high prevalence of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies, is ...

In this note, we show that any localized average sampler could not be a stable sampler for L, but that there is a localized determining sampler for L. Résumé Dans cet article, nous démontrons que tout échantillonneur moyen localisé ne peut pas être un échantillonneur stable pour L, mais quun échantillonneur déterminant localisé existe pour L.

Context Researchers and funding agencies have historically endorsed highly structured and scientifically rigorous interventions to prevent childhood obesity. In this model, children and families who enrol in family-based obesity interventions typically receive a standardised programme implemented by researchers, rather than practitioners, in a tightly controlled setting. Moreover, families are ...
