Prediction of primary cardiovascular events has been thoroughly investigated since the landmark Framingham risk score was introduced. However, prediction of secondary events after initial events of coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a new challenge. In a cohort of coronary angiography patients (n = 1760), we examined readily available hematological parameters from the UPOD (Utrecht Patient Ori...

INTRODUCTION Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem, and anti-tuberculosis drugs can cause severe adverse reactions. The aim of this study was to determine hematological and biochemical changes and associated risk factors in smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients undergoing treatment with standard protocols. METHODS In a descriptive study, a total of 40 tuberculosis patien...

  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 commerci...

Ebola virus disease is the important emerging disease in Africa. This infection is deadly and has the main clinical feature as an acute hemorrhagic fever. The main hematological alteration in this infection is the platelet change. However, the change in other hematological parameters should be mentioned. 

Objectives: This study focuses on the hematological parameters change and age in radiation field workers. The study aimed to identify the effect of radiation on hematological parameters and their relation to age and duration of the experience in radiation field workers. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in the Physiology research center in collaboration with thalassemia and hemogl...
