Recently, St. Anthony's Medical Center Laboratory (SAMC) in St. Louis, Missouri, installed a new automated hematology analyzer, the Sysmex XE-2100. The XE-2100 has an additional differential parameter, the immature granulocyte (IG) parameter. Prior to implementation, the IG parameter was evaluated by comparison to the manual immature granulocyte count. Immature granulocytes counted manually, as...

objective: inflammation is one of the major components of asthma. our aim was to evaluate the effects of c. sativus extract on total and differential white blood cells (wbc) count in lung lavage fluid (llf) of ovalbumin-sensitized rats. materials and methods: forty rats were divided into five groups (n = 8 for each group) as control (c), sensitized with injection and inhalation of ovalbumin (oa...

introduction: non-uniformity test is essentially the only required daily qc procedure in nuclear medicine practice. noise creates statistical variation or random error in a flood image. non-uniformity on the other hand does not have statistical nature and may be regarded as systemic error. the present methods of non-uniformity calculation do not distinguish between these two types of error. the...

A basic task in the analysis of count data from RNA-Seq is the detection of differentially expressed genes. The count data are presented as a table which reports, for each sample, the number of sequence fragments that have been assigned to each gene. Analogous data also arise for other assay types, including comparative ChIP-Seq, HiC, shRNA screening, mass spectrometry. An important analysis qu...

Fresh peripheral blood samples from healthy adult non-smokers and smokers (males) were collected and analysed for RBC count, hemoglobin (Hb) content, packed cell volume (PCV), MCV, MCH and MCHC, total and differential leucocytes (WBC) counts and total platelets count. The results revealed significant reduction in RBC count, Hb content and PCV in smokers. Study shows that total WBC count, neutro...
