     This study was designed to determine the effect of ketorolac on some hematological parameters post cavitation surgery in domestic rabbits. Ninety-six adult domestic local breed male rabbits were used in this study, weighing (1.23 ± 0.33) kg. They were divided randomly into two groups in the first one (n= 48/group) which represented control group, while the second one (n=48/group) represented the treated group (Ketorolac group). All rabbits in both groups undergoes surgical operation (bone cavitation in femur bone) under general anesthesia. In the Ketorolac group, animals were treated by using 30 mg/kg of Ketorolac directly post-operation and continued daily for 5 days, while in Control group no treatment was given postoperatively. The hematological parameters were recorded which include white blood cells count; red blood cells count; hemoglobin; packed cell volume; mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; mean corpuscular volume and platelets at the period of (3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42) days post operation were estimated. Results concerning hematological values showed no significant differences in packed cell volume values between control and treated group and within each group, while haemoglobin values showed a significant decrease at period 7 and 14 days between control and treated group. Within control group the significant decrease were noticed clearly at period of 7 days. Data concerning mean corpuscular hemoglobin values within control group showed significant decrease were noticed at 5 day, but within treated group, there were no significant differences. mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values showed significant decrease ate period 3; 5 and 21 days between control group and treated group respectively. Within control group the significant decrease were noticed obviously at 5 days while within treated group the significant decrease were noticed at 35 days. mean corpuscular volume values showed significant increase at 3 and 5 days period between control and treated groups. Platelets counts within control group showed significant increase at period of 14 days, within treated group the significant increase were recorded at 42 days. Red blood cells showed significant decrease between control and treated groups, while within control group, the significant decrease were at 7 days. White blood cells count within treated group showed significant increase recorded at 21 days. Differential White blood cells count concerning Lymphocytes cells within control group the significant increase were recorded at 42 days  while the significant decrease were noticed at 21 days, but within treated group the significant increase were recorded at 35 days  and significant decrease were noticed at 14 days. Neutrophils counts showed significant decrease at periods 3, 14, 28 and 42 days between control and treated groups respectively; while within control group there were significant decrease at 3 days, but within treated group the significant decrease were noticed at 42 days.

This study describes the hematological parameters in Iranocichla hormuzensis, an Iranian freshwater cichlid important as ornamental and food fish. Forty fish were captured with seine net at Mehran river Hormozgan province, Iran. Blood was used to determine the total counts of red blood cells (RBC) and white blood cells (WBC), hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and morphometric data of erythrocytes. The Iranian fish showed lower RBC and WBC values than the other cichlids (Oreochromis niloticus, O. aureus, O. mossambicus, O. hybrid, Cichlasoma dimerus and Cichla monoculus). Hematocrit did not vary among the species, but MCV, MCH and MCHC in I. hormuzensis were higher than those for O. niloticus, O. aureus, O. hybrid, C. dimerus and C. monoculus. These differences may be related to different life habit of fish. This study suggests that I. hormuzensis is well acclimated to the environment being the first report for its hematology. It is also suggested high efficiency in oxygen transportation, and an efficient inflow of oxygen by the gills, indicating the welfare of fish on this environment.

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.

Introduction:Human coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging respiratory disease that has become pandemic worldwide. The patients have a range of mild to severe symptoms, such as pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, arrhythmia, shock, and other organs involvement. Clinical and hematological evidence can serve as a prognostic factor to detect severe cases of COVID-19. Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate hematological parameters related to the severity of the disease in COVID-19 patients in Mashhad, Eastern Iran. Patients and Methods: All the individuals with positive real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test results and the patients with clinical symptoms whose computed tomography scan results were matched with the diagnosis of viral pneumonia were included in the study. The hematological examinations and complete blood count of the patients were performed by the healthcare personnel through collecting blood samples at the time of admission and discharge from the hospital. Results: In total, 189 COVID-19 patients were included in the study, 47.6% and 58.73% of whom were over 60 years old and male, respectively. Investigation of the hematological parameters revealed that the number of white blood cells, mean value of corpuscular volume, number of platelets, and lymph count had significantly increased at the time of discharge (P<0.01). On the other hand, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and red cell distribution width values were significantly higher at the time of admission in comparison to discharge (P<0.01). Furthermore, it was found that male gender had a significant relationship with the development of lymphopenia in the patients (P=0.021). Conclusion: It can be concluded that hematological parameters and inflammatory biomarkers in COVID-19 patients could potentially act as the independent factors and affect the prognosis of the disease.

Malathion is an organophosphorous insecticide widely used in the agricultural field in Bangladesh and reach in the aquatic environment through rain wash. In the present study, we examined the effects of Malathion on hematological parameters and gills morphology in common carp exposed to two sub-lethal concentrations (1.5 and 3.0 mg/L) for a period of 192h (8 days). For hematological parameters fish were sacrificed at 24, 48, 72, and 96h after start of exposure. Gills were collected at 192h after start of exposure. The blood glucose level was significantly elevated with increasing the concentration of Malathion. Red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) values were significantly decreased after the exposure of Malathion. Significant increments were observed in case of the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), while no distinct changes were noted for mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). Interestingly, white blood cells (WBCs) count was significantly increased with toxicity of Malathion. Several morphological changes, such as telangiectasia, blood lamellar congestion, hypertrophy of filaments, lamellar fusion were observed in the gills of fish exposed to Malathion. The present study revealed that the insecticide had adverse effects on various blood parameters and gills morphology in common carp. Thus, the use of insecticide in the agriculture field may be a threat to fauna and flora of the aquatic environment.Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. September 2016, 2(3): 370-378

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of heat stress on quail hematological parameters two published papers on quails in 2013 were studied, analyzed and compared. Broiler Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were exposed to high ambient temperature (340C, 8hr/d, 0900-1700hr) in both papers. An increase in values of red blood cells count, white blood cells count, lymphocytes, heterophils and lymphocytes (H/L) ratio, Monocytes, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were recorded while a lower values of heterophils, basophils, eosinophils, mean corpuscular volume and hemoglobin concentration than normal were recorded in groups exposed to heat stress (340C) on day 42 in Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Hemoglobin concentration was least affected. The obtained results indicated that, rearing quail birds under high environmental conditions during the fattening period has a great adverse effect on blood parameters. To help maintain Japanese quail as an essential animal model further heat stress related research on modern ways is needed.

Anemia is a common feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The current management of patients with anemia in CKD is controversial. These make anemia is one of the leading causes poor outcome in CKD patients. Our study focus to assess the effect of statin on hemoglobin level with an experimental model of CKD. We perform the animal model of CKD by subtotal nephrectomy procedure. A total of 20 male swiss was used in these study. All the animal divided into 4 groups: sham group (S), nephrectomy (Nx), simvastatin group 5 mg/kgBB (SV5), and simvastatin group 10 mg/kgBB (SV10). Hematological parameters (hemoglobin (Hb), white blood cells (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)), and serum creatinine are measured at the end of the study. The hemoglobin levels in the Ux group decreased significantly compared with the S group (11.02 ± 0.46 vs 14.3 ± 0.15, p<0.0001). While in the SV group, statin administration led to an increase in hemoglobin levels compared with the Ux group but not statistically significant (SV5: 13.26±0.34; Sv10: 12.68±0.26). These results suggest that administration of statins in CKD may improve the condition of anemia by an unknown mechanism, while still requiring other treatment options to maximize the effect of therapy.
