The erythrocyte osmotic fragility and other erythrocyte indices in fowls of two different age groups (7-9 week-old and 49 week-old) were studied using Nera Black strain usually raised commercially for egg production in Nigeria. Erythrocytes in the 49 week-old birds were more fragile than those in the 7-9 week-old at sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations of 0.2% (p<0.05), 0.7% (p<0.05), 0.8% (p<...

background because of varying reports, there is still need to investigate the impact of wrestling on hematological indices. objectives we investigated differences in the basic hematological indices in wrestlers compared to sedentary controls. patients and methods the blood samples containing anticoagulant were collected from 12 male elite wrestlers (age = 24 ± 1.2 years, weight = 76 ± 5 kg) wit...

Background: In Côte d’Ivoire, as in most developing countries, the reference values of hematological indices currently in use come from data collected from populations living in industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to determine variations in the childchr('39')s blood count in Cote dchr('39')Ivoire. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study has focused on 310 ...

BACKGROUND The development of therapies for sickle cell disease has received special attention, particularly those that reduce the polymerization of hemoglobin S. Hydroxyurea is a commonly used medication because it has the ability to raise levels of fetal hemoglobin, decrease the frequency of vaso-occlusive episodes and thus improve the clinical course of sickle cell disease patients. OBJECT...

The in vivo protective role of hydro-methanolic root extract of Withania somnifera (WS) was evaluated in alleviating lead nitrate (LN)-induced toxicity in male Swiss albino mice by measuring hematoserological profiles. The lead-treated (20 mg/kg body wt, p.o.) albino mice (25-30 g) concurrently received the root extract (200 and 500 mg/kg body wt, p.o.) once daily for the duration of six weeks....

BACKGROUND Different hematological analyzers have different analytical performances that are often reflected in the criteria for sample stability of the complete blood count. This study aimed to assess the stability of several hematological parameters using the XN-9000 Sysmex and BC-6800 Mindray analyzers. METHODS The impact of storage at room temperature and 4°C was evaluated after 2, 4, 6, ...

background :identification of α thalassemia (α thal) a common cause of microcytosis during neonatal periods is an important step prevent unnecessary interventions. thus, low the mean corpuscular volume (mcv) and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (mch) may consider as α-thalassemia key detection points. the present study aimed to determine the prevalence of microcytosis among neonates who born in ...

The purpose of this study was to determine changes in hematological and plasma indices of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio with regard to age, sex and hormonal treatment. Sixty fish were used to assess the age factor. Also, 20 fish including female and male were assigned to determine blood indices with regard to sex and hormonal treatment. The pituitary gland extract was used as hormone for males an...
