Hematological Changes

Hematological reference intervals must consider several parameters, including genotype, age, sex, management, and analytic process. Work is needed to evaluate hematological changes specifically in Hanwoo calves and according to calf sex. Therefore, in this study, we sought to confirm the complete blood cell count (CBC) reference intervals in Hanwoo calves, to monitor changes in hematologic values in Hanwoo calves from birth until 28 weeks of life, and to compare the hematologic values of male and female calves. A total of 35 male calves and 35 female calves was studied. Calf blood was sampled at multiple intervals from the time of birth until 28 weeks of age (including within 6 h of birth and at 2 days, 7 days, and 4 weeks and then at 4-week intervals through 28 weeks). In addition, blood samples were collected from 210 clinically healthy pregnant Hanwoo cows to establish CBC reference intervals for adult cattle. There were significant differences in the results of the cows and calves in all 14 parameters considered. The CBC reference intervals of the calves were wider than those of the cows in all parameters except mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and mean platelet volume. We also identified differences from birth through 28 weeks between male and female calves at only some ages and some parameters. These results suggest that CBC reference intervals specific to Hanwoo calves are necessary for accurate diagnosis of calf diseases.

Set Up

Mercury toxicity in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, (Linnaeus, 1758) was investigated by the hematological parameters after long-term (14 days) exposure to various Hg concentrations (0.02, 0.002, 0.0002mg/L Hg). Test groups were set up with three replicates for each concentration, plus the control group. Blood samples were collected from six individuals for each concentration at 0, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days of exposure. The hematological parameters analyzed were: total red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), total white blood cell count (WBC) and differential leukocyte counts and total thrombocyte count (Tr). There were no significant differences among the mean hematological values at the different Hg concentrations indicating that Hg at the concentrations studied was not toxic to tilapia.

Abstract. Background: Endurance running training induces several hematological changes that increase the capture, transport and delivery of the oxygen to the exercising muscles. Objective: This study aimed to verify how a dramatic increase in running volume induced new alterations in several hematological indicators in previously trained endurance runners. Methods: Three subjects (PL: 26 years, 169,5 cm; HP, 27 years, 167,9 cm; MC, 27 years, 180,7 cm) running 10-12 km/day, increased their running volume to prepare the participation in a 100-km ultra-marathon. New training program included 10-12 training sessions per week, totalizing 200-260 km. Average daily running volume was 35.8±6.2 km. The parameters analyzed were: hemoglobin, erythrocytes, hematocrit, mean cell volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), leukocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes.  Results: Erythrocyte count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit decreased 6.5%, 5.1% and 6.7%, respectively for the average of the three runners. Leukocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes showed different alterations among participants with all the values remaining within normal reference values. Conclusion: Well-trained runners show further hematological alterations when training volume is dramatically increased, which can be seen as the specific adaptation to the new training level. It seems that hemogram is more sensitive than leucogram to the increase in running volume.Resumen. Antecedentes: El entrenamiento de resistencia aeróbica induce varios cambios hematológicos que aumentan la captura, el transporte y la entrega del oxígeno a los músculos en ejercicio. Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue verificar cómo un aumento dramático en el volumen de corrida indujo nuevas alteraciones en varios indicadores hematológicos en corredores previamente entrenados. Métodos: Tres sujetos (PL: 26 años, 169,5 cm, HP, 27 años, 167,9 cm, MC, 27 años, 180,7 cm) corriendo 10-12 km / día, aumentaron su volumen de carrera para preparar la participación en un ultra maratón de 100 km. El nuevo programa de entrenamiento incluyó 10-12 sesiones de entrenamiento por semana, totalizando 200-260 km. El promedio diario de volumen de carrera fue de 35,8 ± 6,2 km. Los parámetros analizados fueron hemoglobina, eritrocitos, hematocrito, volumen celular medio (MCV), hemoglobina corpuscular media (MCH), concentración media de hemoglobina corpuscular (MCHC), leucocitos, neutrófilos, eosinofilos, linfocitos y monocitos. Resultados: El recuento de eritrocitos, la hemoglobina y el hematocrito disminuyeron 6,5%, 5,1% y 6,7%, respectivamente, para el promedio de los tres corredores. Los leucocitos, neutrófilos, eosinofilos, linfocitos y monocitos mostraron diferentes alteraciones entre los participantes con todos los valores restando dentro de los valores normales de referencia. Conclusión: Corredores bien entrenados muestran alteraciones hematológicas adicionales cuando el volumen de entrenamiento aumenta drásticamente, lo que puede ser visto como la adaptación específica al nuevo nivel de entrenamiento. Parece que el hemograma es más sensible que el leucograma al aumento en el volumen de entrenamiento de carrera.

Pregnancy Status

The maternal body must adapt to fetal growth and development during the state of pregnancy for successful foal and mother. Pregnancy status as in other mammals is related to physiology and hematology. This study aimed to compare the hematology profiles and biochemical parameters of late pregnant and non-pregnant mares. Twenty-two mares were included in the study. Mares were divided into two groups according to the pregnancy status. Hematology profile and biochemical parameters were analyzed from blood samples collected from the jugular vein. All data were analyzed using Stata 12/MP4. White blood cell count, lymphocyte, red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, monocyte and percentage of monocyte were significantly lower in non-pregnant mares compared to late pregnant mares (P<0.05). No significant differences were noted in values of neutrophil, eosinophil, mean cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, platelet, mean platelet volume, red cell distribution width in both groups (P>0.05). On the other hand, biochemical parameters analysis showed that calcium, total bilirubin, and triglyceride concentrations were greater in late pregnant mares (P<0.05). However, urea, albumin, cholesterol, and magnesium concentrations were similar among groups (P>0.05). In conclusion, the present study showed hematology profile and biochemical parameters differences in late pregnant and non-pregnant mares. These values could be useful in clinical practices to assess the situation of late pregnant mares.

Background: During viral outbreaks, pregnancy poses an increased risk of infection for women. Methods: In a prospective study, all patients admitted for delivery at term to Elena Doamna Obstetrics and Gynecology University Hospital in Iasi, Romania, between 1 April 2020 and 31 December 2020 were included. There were 457 patients, divided into two groups: group 1, SARS-CoV-2-positive patients (n = 46) and group 2, SARS-CoV-2-negative patients (n = 411). Among other tests, complete blood count was determined upon admittance, and the following values were studied: white blood cell count, lymphocytes, neutrophils, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, red blood cell distribution width, hematocrit, platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, plateletcrit, and platelet large cell ratio. Results: in pregnant SARS-CoV-2-infected patients at term, there was a significant decrease in white blood cell, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count, and an increase in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, compared to healthy pregnant women at term, although all still within normal limits. None of the other components of the complete blood count or fetal outcomes studied was significantly influenced by SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant patients at term.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the efficacy of a peripheral smear examination as a screening tool for β-thalassemia trait. Materials and Methods: 17 623 Leishman-stained peripheral smears were evaluated during the period from July 2006 to September 2007. The following parameters were studied: hemoglobin, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and red cell distribution width. All the cases that showed microcytosis, hypochromia, erythrocytosis and absence of anisopoikilocytosis were suspected of having the thalassemia trait (TT), and all these cases were further evaluated with Alkaline Hemoglobin Electrophoresis for confirmation. Results: Of the 17 623 smears examined, 60 cases were considered suspicious of having TT. Alkaline hemoglobin electrophoresis carried out on all these cases revealed an elevated HbA 2 (Mean = 7.5%). Five cases evaluated were found to have other hemoglobinopathies (1 Sickle cell trait, 3 Hb-E, 1 thalassemia intermedia). Conclusion: Careful screening of peripheral smear is an invaluable screening tool for thalassemia trait (PPV - 95%). There must be awareness among the peripheral centers about the importance of peripheral smear screening and the affected persons should be counseled.

Ouled Djellal sheep is the most dominant breed in Algeria due to its adapta-tion to harsh steppe environment. Hematological parameters are good indi-cators of animal health, but their values are breed-specific, and they are affected by age and gender. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the hematological profile of healthy Ouled Djellal lambs and ewe lambs reared traditionally under semi-arid zones of Algeria during the growing peri-od. Blood samples were taken from twenty-four Ouled Djellal lambs (12 males, 12 females) at 42, 63, 84 and 105 days of age to evaluate the count of White Blood Cells, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Granulocyte, Red Blood Cell and total Platelet, the percentage of Lymphocyte, Monocyte and Granulocyte, Hemoglobin concentration, Hematocrit, Mean Corpuscular Volume, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration by usual known methods. Both male and female lambs did not show signifi-cant variations in mean values of White Blood Cells, Lymphocyte count, Red Blood Cells, Hemoglobin, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin concentration, per-centage of Monocyte, Monocyte count, Gran percentage and Granulocyte count from 42ͭ ͪ day to 105ͭ ͪ days. Mean values of percentage of Lymphocyte, Hematocrite in lambs, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin in ewe lambs, and Mean Corpuscular Volume, Platelets levels in both lambs and ewe lambs indicated also variations during this period of growth. Significant Pearson's correlations were found between some hematological parameters in Ouled Djellal lambs and/or ewe lambs. Therefore, these findings provide usual val-ues, which can be considered for assessing the physiological, nutritional and health status of these animals.

In the present study, fish Labeo rohita were exposed to 20, 50 and 100 µg/L of both Cu NPs and copper sulphate (CuSO4, bulk copper) for 24 h and hematological profiles were estimated. A significant (P< 0.01) change in the hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct), white blood cells (WBC) and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) levels were observed in all the three concentrations of both bulk and Cu NPs treated fish when compared to control groups. However a non significant change in red blood cells (RBC) (20 and 50 µg/L Cu NPs) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (20 and 50 µg/L bulk Cu) were observed. The alteration in Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) value was found to be non significant both in bulk and Cu NPs treated fish. The alterations of these parameters can be used as a potential indicator to examine the health of fish in aquatic ecosystem contaminated with metal and metal based nanoparticles.

Deer mice ( Peromyscus maniculatus and Peromyscus leucopus) were acclimated at temperatures of 5° ±0.5°C and 30°±0.5°C for various intervals with periods at 20°±0.5°C preceding the cold and warm acclimation periods. Hemoglobin concentrations, hematocrits and erythrocyte diameters were measured on a group of nonsplenectomized mice and on another group of splenectomized mice which were subjected to similar temperature conditions. It was found that there were significant increases in hemoglobin and hematocrit values with acclimation at 5°C, which were more marked in the splenectomized mice. Differences in hemoglobin concentrations and hematocrits were significant between 5° and 30°C, but differences were not as apparent between mice at 30°C and those exposed at 20°C. There were no significant changes in erythrocyte diameters, although the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration was significantly lower in all of the splenectomized mice as opposed to the nonsplenectomized ones. It is suggested that splenectomy in some way enhances erythopoiesis in response to low temperature since there was no significant difference in hematocrits of nonsplenectomized and splenectomized mice exposed at 20°C prior to cold acclimation.

Hematological Changes

In the course of parturition and lactation, sows are susceptible to stress and make an effort to adapt to the newly-formed situation through different endocrine and metabolic mechanisms. In addition to endocrine, biochemical changes, hematological changes also occur in the sow organism. Having these facts in mind, the objective of this work was to examine the changes in the number of erythrocytes, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value, hematological indexes: mean corpuscular erythrocyte volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in erythrocyte and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in erythrocytes, as well as sedimentation values during the period of lactation in sows. The experiment was performed on ten sows of the Swedish Landrace breed, from which blood was taken on the first day postpartum (1-6 h), and during the third and fourth weeks of lactation. The obtained results of hematological analyses indicated a reduced number of erythrocytes, haemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value during the lactation period. The number of erythrocytes was significantly lower at the end of lactation in comparison with the number established on the first day postpartum. The hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value were very significantly lower at the end of lactation against the first day postpartum. The values of the hematological indexes MCV, MCH and MCHC did not differ significantly in any of the examined periods. The rate of erythrocyte sedimentation was determined 1 h and 2 h postpartum.
