The mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) values are reduced in the usual patients, and the mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is reduced in long standing or severe disease. The degree of change in red cell indices is related in part to the duration 60 and in part to the severity of anaemia. In mild iron deficiency anaemia of short duration, the ind...

linezolid (lzd), severed as the first oxazolidinone antibiotic, was active against multidrug-resistant gram-positive strains. lzd can induce thrombocytopenia, anemia and leukocytopenia. currently, reports on pure red cell aplasia (prca) cases induced by lzd are relatively rare [4-7]. in this paper, we reported a patient with prca twice induced by lzd. a 37-year-old man was diagnosed with myelody...

there is evidence indicating that pomegranate juice contains many of the essential properties necessary to retain cell viability and cell proliferation. these properties indicate that pomegranate juice is a suitable storage medium for avulsed teeth. however, this idea has not yet been tested. in this study, the capacity of pomegranate juice (pj) as a storage medium for retaining avulsed teeth w...

the aim of this study was to compare invasive and non-invasive strains of shigella flexneri isolated from tehran by a 120 kda protein band by sds-page, electron microscopy of cell culture and congo red dye methods. methods: s. flexneri strains were isolated by standard bacterial methods from fecal specimens of children attending to the 3 children’s hospitals. phenotype analysis for screening vi...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of various mutations in beta (beta) thalassaemia and its association with haematological parameters. METHODS A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Haematology, Armed Forced Institute of Pathology (AFIP) from February 2009 to January 2010. A total of 515 carriers having beta thalassaemia mutations characterized by Multipl...

purpose: microgravity causes major changes in various systems of the body in space, such as shift in cerebrospinal fluid, decreased red blood cells count, and electrolyte loss. these complications are very important in space and we should find new approaches to prevent the side effects of microgravity in astronauts. materials and methods: this experimental study was conducted on 21 adult male r...

the pharmacokinetics of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuepo) administered intravenously has been investigated in a group of five patients with chronic renal failure who were dialysis-dependent. the half-life of circulating erythropoietin decreased from 7.9±oa hr (mean ±so) at the beginning of treatment to 6.2±o.6 hr after 6 weeks and 5a±o.9 hr after 4 months of treatment. in spite of the s...
