As part of ongoing studies on the blood profiles of the Nigerian avian species, haematological and plasma biochemical parameters were determined in the Nigerian laughing dove (Streptopelia senegalensis). There were no significant sex differences in all the parameters studied. However, when the values that were observed in the Nigerian laughing dove were compared with those of the Nigerian duck ...

background: this study investigated the protective effects of aqueous extracts of anogeissus leiocarpus (dc) guill & perr (combretaceae) and terminalia avicennioides guill & perr (combretaceae) root barks, as well as their 1:1 (w/w) mixture on liver redox and haematological parameters of diethylnitrosamine-treated rats. methods: rats were orally administered distilled water, diethylnitrosamine ...

Alteration in the temperature of the Isoton diluent in a Coulter model S counter over a range of possible laboratory working temperatures produced a change in the mean corpuscular volume using EDTA and dipotassium acid citrate dextrose blood and a commercial control, 4C. Contamination of the Isoton diluent with hypochlorite solution, used to clean the Coulter model S, may increase the mean corp...

background: in natural waters and/or aquaculture facilities, fish are often exposed to chromium waste and demonstrate cumulative deleterious effects. to our knowledge, there are no studies concerning the effects of trivalent cr on c. carpio hematology. this study presents hematological and some biochemical parameters of common carp, cyprinus carpio, affected by sublethal concentration of trival...

Materials and methods: Couples who intend to marry have to undergo these tests as part of a compulsory countrywide program. In this study, the red blood cell (RBC) indices among the study population were measured with an electronic cell counter (Sysmex K800). Th e survey involved the measurement of 2 RBC indices, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and the resul...

OBJECTIVE Sickle cell anemia and the interaction S/Beta thalassemia differ in hematological values due to microcytosis and hypochromia caused by the thalassemic mutation. The clinical benefit of long-term hydroxyurea treatment is undeniable in sickle cell disease with monitoring of the biological action of the drug being by the complete blood count. The objective of this work is to compare chan...

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...
