Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is affected by the red blood cell (RBC) lifespan. The association of HbA1c with RBC indices in pregnant women is not widely investigated. In this study, we investigated the association between HbA1c and Hb/RBCs count and RBCs indices; specifically, Hb/RBCs count and indices in nondiabetic pregnant women. Across-sectional study was carried-out at the antenatal care of Saad...

Clostridium chauvoei CH3 and Kad1 strains were found to cause marked changes in the blood parameters during the course of blackleg disease. These changes displayed by CH3 were found to be more marked than the local Kad1 strain. Results of changes in the haematological values in calves infected with blackleg organisms, showed an increase in RBC, PCV, Hb and the total leukocyte count. MCHC and MC...

BACKGROUND Since delayed diagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis worsens patient prognosis, clinicians have a low threshold to perform a lumbar puncture or to start empiric antibiotic treatment in patients suspected of having meningitis. OBJECTIVE To develop a decision rule, including cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) indices and clinical characteristics, to determine whether empiric antibiot...

BACKGROUND Frequency and classification of anemia in terms of regeneration status and erythrocyte indices are not well described in cats. OBJECTIVE To determine frequency and regenerative status of anemia in samples from adult cats, to assess the sensitivity and specificity of macrocytosis and hypochromasia for detecting regenerative anemia (RA), and to evaluate the association of anemia with...

In order study dynamics we performed two series experiments employing groups as follows: Group 1 – control group (one-day-old chicks, receiving pure drinking water), 2 experimental via water concentration 200 g/L for 10 consecutive days), Group...

PURPOSE Erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV) increase has been described in patients treated with capecitabine. In this study, we sought to evaluate the potential association of the erythrocyte MCV increase with tumor response and survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treated with capecitabine. METHODS A retrospective review of 131 patients with mCRC who were trea...
