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...

The incidence and severity of chronic intravascular hemolysis was evaluated in a total of 41 patients following mitral valve replacement. Valve replacement was with a gamma-radiated frame-mounted aortic homograft in 21 patients and with a composite seat Starr-Edwards prosthesis, model 6310 or 6320, in 20 patients. The parameters used to assess hemolysis were hemoglobin, hematocrit, reticulocyte...

The genetic and environmental determinants of variation in blood cell size and number were investigated in 392 pairs of 12-year-old twins. The following blood cell indices were measured: haemoglobin, red blood cell count, haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, platelet number, total white cell count, level of neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, total lymphocytes, CD3+ lymphocytes, CD4+ lymphocy...

Background: Anemia is common throughout the world, remarkably in developing countries. Our aim is to calculate normal hemoglobin and other hematological indices in southwest of Iran. Materials and Methods: A random selection of 500 healthy males and 500 healthy females was done in the age group of 13 to 65 years. A complete blood count (CBC) was performed in all participants. Results: Hemoglobi...

Background Accurate prevalence figures are not available, but it has been estimated that 1-2% of women have recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as three or more consecutive losses of intrauterine pregnancy in the first trimester. Half of whom have no identifiable cause. Recent studies of early pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, pregnancy complications such a hydatidiform mole suggests that these...

This retrospective study investigated the correlations between red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit on admission, and mortality in 140 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Correlations between the hematological parameters RBC count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cell (WBC) count, and platelet count on admission and mortality were investigated. Association of each...

vivo red blood cell labeling. After red blood cell labeling, 13 subjects underwent maximal supine bicycle exercise. Radioactivity, analyzed with a well counter, was measured in heparinized venous blood samples drawn at rest and during peak exercise. Changes in activity were compared with changes in erythrocyte count. Activity and erythrocyte counts increased during exercise in all 13 subjects. ...
