introduction: the use of stereological methods in evaluation of volume changes in vital organs such as kidney is very important. in this study, the volume of glomeruli in glycerol-induced acute renal failure in rats was determined. methods: 48 sprague-dawley male rats were divided into 2 groups (1control, 1experiment). experimental group was injected 10ml/kg of 50% glycerol intramuscularly, whi...

alpha thalassemia (α-thal) is relatively common worldwide. most carriers are defective in either one or two alpha globin genes out of four functional ones, with deletions being more common than point mutations. the hematologic features are very important for the selection of the appropriate molecular tests while determining the genotype. the aim of this study was to compare hematologic features...

objective: the aim of our study was to find the relationship of mpv (mean platelet volume) levels and platelet counts as markers of inflammation between simple and complex febrile seizures. methods: in this retrospective comparative study, we investigated the recordings of 356 children between 5 months and 6 years with diagnosis of simple and complex febrile seizure (sfs&cfs;) between march 201...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality due to these situations are more frequently encountered in schizophrenic patients when compared with the general population. the mean platelet volume (mpv) is a surrogate biomarker of the platelet activity and an useful prognostic test in cardiometabolic diseases. the ai...

background: mean platelet volume (mpv) correlates with platelet activity. the relation between mpv and long-term outcome in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) has been investigated in several studies. the aim of the present study was to investigate the utility of mpv in prognosticating the long-term outcome after elective pci. methods: the study cohort included 2627 pa...
