PURPOSE A case of leukopenia in a patient receiving colchicine for calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease, or pseudogout, is reported. SUMMARY An 85-year-old man experienced leukopenia likely due to colchicine. His medical history included chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), pseudogout, osteoarthritis, and hypertension. In February 2011, his white blood cell (WBC) count was 2700 c...

The hysteresis of a western boundary current (WBC) flowing across gap and the dynamics mesoscale eddy–WBC interaction with presence two islands in are studied using 1.5-layer ocean model. WBC suggests that facilitate to intrude into basin by shedding eddies compared no-island case, but they promote leap one-island case. from east can induce critical-state shifting penetration vice versa. reveal...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of serum white blood cell (WBC) count, fever (>38˚C) and WBC rise (>10%) for bacterial meningitis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHOD This cross-sectional study was conducted in Shahid Rajaei hospital affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences during a 1-year period from 2013 to 2014. We included consecutively all...

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Clinical studies claim that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) accelerates tissue healing due to its high concentration of growth factors and the combination with leukocytes improves antimicrobial effect concentrate. Most these obtained PRP using different separation systems, few analyzed content used for treatment. This study characterized composition white blood cells (WBC) from a ...

BACKGROUND Elevated total white blood cell (WBC) count is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease and death. Aerobic exercise is associated with lower total WBC, neutrophil, and monocyte counts. However, no studies have evaluated the effect of the amount of aerobic exercise (dose) on total WBC and WBC subfraction counts. PURPOSE To examine the effects of 3 different doses ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of laboratory parameters, including peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and microscopic urinalysis (UA), for identifying febrile infants younger than 8 weeks of age at risk for urinary tract infection (UTI), and comparison of standard UA and hemocytometer WBC counts for predicti...
