It was confirmed by fecal excretion test and Schilling's urinary excretion test using vitamin B@12 labelled with @60Co (@60Co-B@12) that the intestinal absorption of vitamin B@12 was markedly disturbed in patients with pernicious anemia. When @60Co-B@12 was given by mouth together with hog intrinsic factor in patients with pernicious anemia, the intestinal absorption of @60Co-B@12 was restored ...

for intensive rearing of fish with minimal losses, it is necessary to be aware of health status of fish. blood variables are useful criteria for showing physiological disturbances in intensively farmed fishes and can provide important information for diagnosis and prognosis of diseases. the aim of the present study was to show hematological parameters in haematological evaluation is gradually b...

Managing hematological disorders in a tropical country presents several unique diagnostic and management problems. Apart from the disease process, we need to be aware of infections that can exacerbate or mimic serious hematological problems. We present here a series of five patients with pre-existing hematological diseases who were infected by dengue virus. These cases highlight the need to kee...

The objective of the study was to determine the effects of acute high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on hematological parameters in sedentary men. Ten healthy, non-smoker, and sedentary men aged between 18 and 24 years participated in the study. All subjects performed four Wingate tests with 4 min intervals between the tests. Blood samples were collected at pre-exercise, immediately after, ...

We looked for genotoxic effects in laboratory personnel routinely exposed to petroleum derivate compounds in an indoor environment. The exposed group of 21 workers from the Fuel Quality Control Laboratory of the Brazilian Petroleum Agency was matched with a group of 10 people from the staff of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes, micronuclei ...

background: metals such as iron, zinc, and copper are critical and necessary for the survival of all living organisms, whereas xenobiotic metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic have no known biologic role. any metals in high doses can have toxic effects. the aim of this work was to evaluate the hematological changes induced by lead as a toxic metal and characterize the potential eff...

splenic infarction occurs due to occlusion of splenic vessels that leads to splenic tissue ischemia and necrosis. there are several reports regarding splenic infarction in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (aml). herein, we report a case of acute promyelocytic anemia (aml-m3) who presented with abdominal pain and splenic infarction.

sulfur mustard has been employed in chemical warfare in certain regions including iran. the short and long term biological effects of sulfur mustard contamination have been studied in both basic and clinical aspects. sulfur mustard has been shown to induce a vast array of pathological effects in affected persons. in addition to skin, lung, eyes and gastrointestinal disturbances, sulfur mustard ...
