The aim of the study is to assess the hematological and biochemical changes of inhalant abusing adolescences in Istanbul, Turkey. The study subjects comprised 24 street children. Demographic characteristics, hematological markers, complete blood count tests and white blood cell differential and liver function tests (alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase) were evalua...

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clinical constellation comprising risk factors associated with developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Resistin has been suggested as a linkage between obesity, inflammation and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to investigate resistin concentrations and hematological-biochemical parameters in MS subjects and controls, and to determine whet...

INTRODUCTION Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a zoonotic disease with different clinical manifestations. Parasitism often occurs in bone marrow, but changes have been observed in peripheral blood and serum biochemical parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hematological and biochemical parameters in dogs naturally infected by Leishmania chagasi. METHODS Eighty-five adult ...

Cysticercosis is an infection of muscles in cattle and buffaloes, which occurs due to the larval stage of Taenia saginata. Cysticercosis has worldwide distribution but is more common in developing countries due to poor hygienic measures. Hematological and biochemical tests may be used as alternate for the diagnosis of cysticercosis within the local setting. The present study was aimed to invest...

Teucrium Polium L. (TP) is widely used in traditional medicine of many countries including Iran. There are various reports about pharmacological properties of TP such as calcium antagonist, anti- ulcer, anti – diabetic. There are a few reports about possible toxicological effects of this plant. In the present study we designed to evaluate the subchronic toxicity of Teucrium Polium total extract...

Introduction: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly used drugs to reduce pain and inflammation. Aceclofenac is a newer derivative of diclofenac with less gastrointestinal complications. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the toxicity profile of sustain release aceclofenac injection in rats at three dose levels, ranging from 2 to 10 mg/kg body weight. Mater...

In mammals, lipemic blood from sampling too soon after an animal feeds can have substantial effects on biochemical values. Plasma biochemical values in reptiles may be affected by species, age, season, and nutritional state. However, fasting status is not routinely considered when sampling reptile blood. In this paper, we evaluated 2-hour postprandial blood collection in two sea turtle species ...

This study evaluated the adverse effects of carprofen in seven healthy cats. Values for CBC, biochemical profiles and platelet aggregation were measured before and at seven days after SID treatment with subcutaneous carprofen: 4 mg/kg (day 1), 2mg/kg (day 2 and 3) and 1mg/kg (day 4 and 6) (CG) or 0.35 ml of saline (SG) for six days in a randomized, blinded, cross-over study with a four-week was...
