The undiluted erythrocyte lysing technique was evaluated to see if it provides more accurate total leukocyte counts and differential leukocyte counts of severely leukopenic blood samples, in order to detect the onset of hematopoietic recovery after stem cell transplantation. Leukocyte counts using the conventional automated cell counting technique were found to be inaccurate, especially in bloo...

Glucocorticoids prevent or suppress the full inflammatory response to infectious, immunological physical agents by inhibiting early events such as edema cell exudation. The main effect of glucocorticoids on process is inhibition recruitment neutrophils and monocytes. In this study, glucocorticoid betamethasone hematological parameters rats species Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout 1769 was examined ...

PURPOSE To investigate possible alterations of erythrocyte aggregation and deformability, which are factors that can influence blood flow, in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals and to determine whether these factors are related to the severity of immunodeficiency. METHODS Laboratory evaluations were performed on 46 HIV-infected individuals and 44 HIV-negative control subj...

Hematology and serum chemistry values were obtained from 28 male and 22 female stray dogs in Chittagong Metropolitan area, Bangladesh. The goal of the study was to establish reference value for hematology and serum chemistry for these semi wild animals in relation to age, sex, reproductive stage and body condition. No significant differences were found for mean values of hemoglobin, packed cell...

The clinical character of oxaliplatin induced thrombocytopenia is marked by severe and acute drop in platelet count associated with bleeding and bruising within a few hours up to 48 hrs after oxaliplatin administration. The nadir of platelet count can be as low value of 2x109/L. The dose intensity of oxaliplatin is associated with an increase in spleen size and both of these aspects correlate w...

The effects of smoking and age on the results of hematologic tests were determined in a group of 429 healthy male workers. The results obtained were as follows: 1) The values of total leucocyte count (x10(9)/l), neutrophil count (x10(9)/l), lymphocyte count (x10(9)/l), monocyte count (x10(9)/l), hemoglobin (g/l), hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV; fl), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH; p...

Hematocrit can be increased in experimental animals with renal hypertension of two-kidney type. The present study showed that the increased hematocrit was returned to normal by removal of the clipped kidney. The left renal artery was clipped in 13 rabbits with an intact contralateral kidney, and a sham operation was performed in 10 rabbits as a control. After an interval of 10 weeks the left ki...

The effectiveness and mechanism of a low temperature air plasma torch in clotting blood are explored. Both blood droplets and smeared blood samples were used in the tests. The treated droplet samples reveal how blood clotting depends on the distance at which the torch operated, and for how long the droplets have been exposed to the torch. Microscopy and cell count of smeared blood samples shed ...
