A six week feeding trail was conducted to investigate the effect of honey on the performance and haematological parameters of broilers and Nigerian Local Chickens. The experiment was conducted at the Niger Delta University, Faculty of Agriculture Teaching and Research Farm. Sixty (60) day old chicks which consisted of three treatments, 20 broilers, 20 normal feather and 20 naked neck genotypes were used with each of the genotype having control. Feed and water were given ad-libitum. The experimental birds for the broiler and naked neck genotypes had the highest significant values compared to the control which had significant difference (P<0.05) in their performance, while the control of the normal feather genotype had the highest significant values compared to the experimental birds but there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in their performance. The broiler birds had the highest significant values compared to normal feather and naked neck genotypes and there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in their performance. The effect of honey on haematological parameters showed that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in White blood cell, neutrophils, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophile and basophile of broiler birds, in normal feather, white blood cell, neutrophile and lymphocyte differed significantly (P<0.05) and there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in neutrophile and lymphocyte in the experimental and control for naked neck genotype. In conclusion, the study revealed that the inclusion of honey caused a positive effect on the performance of broilers and naked neck, but showed no effect or reduction in performance in normal feather genotype.

A neglected disease affecting many malnourished children and immunosuppressed patients in sub Saharan Africa is noma caused mainly by Fusobacterium necrophorum. Poverty and malnutrition are highly implicated in the epidemiology, prevalence and poor management of noma. Local mushroomsof the gens Termitomyces have been used in parts of northern Nigeria and Cameroon to improve health of noma patients, but detail studies to authenticate the effect of this medicinal mushroom on specific chronic diseases such as noma remain inadequate. Blood transfusion remains one of the critical palliative care strategies to manage anemia in noma disease. The current preliminary study was undertaken to establish the effect of a strain of termitomyces titanicus mushroom, which has been used in Nigerian and Cameroonian folk medicine in Itas Gadau Local government and parts of Bauchi State and North west Region respectively for the management of anemia, using hematological parameters such as hemoglobin level, white blood cell stabilization and packed cell volume of albino rats and also to ascertain its safety for consumption using liver enzyme profiling. The results indicated that rats treated with Termitomyces titanicus had a higher hemoglobin level (12.2 g/dl) compared to a treatment with vitamin B complex (11.3 g/dl) and untreated (10.1 g/dl). A significant increase in the total white blood cell level (26300cells/mm3) was observed with rats treated with mushrooms compared with 7500 cells/mm3 for rats treated with vitamin B complex. Hematological parameters showed a significant difference amongst the test group compared with the controls group. The results further revealed that rats treated with termitomyces had a cleaner liver than with rats treated with vitamin B complex. The results authenticate the practice of using this mushroom in the local management of anemic conditions in Oris cancrum (noma) patients and other chronic disease conditions such as cancer.

Background: Clinical laboratory reference intervals are an important tool to identify abnormal laboratory test results. The generating of hematological parameters reference intervals for local population is very crucial to improve quality of health care, which otherwise may lead to unnecessary expenditure or denying care for the needy. There are no well-established reference intervals for hematological parameters in southwest Ethiopia. Objective: To generate hematological parameters reference intervals for apparently healthy individuals in southwest Ethiopia. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted involving 883 individuals from March to May 2017. Four milliliter of blood sample was collected and transported to Jimma University Medical Center Laboratory for hematological analysis and screening tests. A hematological parameters were measured by Sysmex XS-500i hematology analyzer (Sysmex Corporation Kobe, Japan). The data were analyzed by SPSS version 20 statistical software. The non-parametric independent Kruskal–Wallis test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann–Whitney U test) were used to compare the parameters between age groups and genders. The 97.5 percentile and 2.5 percentile were the upper and lower reference limit for the population. Results: The reference interval of red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet count in children were 4.99 × 1012/L (4.26–5.99 × 1012/L), 7.04 × 109/L (4.00–11.67 × 109/L), and 324.00 × 109/L (188.00–463.50 × 109/L), respectively. The reference interval of red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet count in adults was 5.19 × 1012/L (4.08–6.33 × 1012/L), 6.35 × 109/L (3.28–11.22 × 109/L), and 282.00 × 109/L (172.50–415.25 × 109/L), respectively. The reference interval of red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet count in geriatrics were 5.02 × 1012/L (4.21–5.87 × 1012/L), 6.21 × 109/L (3.33–10.03 × 109/L), and 265.50 × 109/L (165.53–418.80 × 109/L), respectively. Most of the hematological parameters showed significant differences across all age groups. Conclusion: Most of the hematological parameters in this study showed differences from similar studies done in the country. This study provided population-specific hematological reference interval for southwest Ethiopians. Reference intervals should also be established in the other regions of the country.

Objective Obesity is the defined as the abnormal or excessive accumulation of the fat which is harmful for the health, and its prevalence has been increasing. Many studies have shown that obesity alone leads to inflammation and causes poor gestational outcomes. In our study, we aimed to investigate the association between basic hematologic markers and obesity in the first trimester pregnancies. Methods A total of 321 pregnant women who admitted to the clinic of gynecology and obstetrics in a tertiary state hospital were included in the study. The patients were separated into three groups, which were normal weight (BMI: 18–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI: 25–29.9 kg/m2), and obese (BMI>30 kg/m2). Of the patients, the demographic data (age, gravida, and parity) and the parameters of hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet (PLT), eosinophil, basophil, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), plateletcrit (PCT) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) measured in the complete blood count which was checked in the first trimester routinely during the pregnancy follow-up were analyzed. The three groups were compared in terms of inflammatory markers. Results The patients were evaluated in three groups: 108 patients with normal weight (Group 1), 109 overweight patients (Group 2) and 104 obese patients (Group 3). No significant difference was found in terms of age, parity and gravida when the demographic data were analyzed among the groups (p>0.05). When the groups were compared in terms of hematologic markers, similar values were found in the markers other than white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, PLT and PCT values. The difference among white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, PLT and PCT values were between the patients with normal weight and obese patients, and the values of these markers were found higher in overweight / normal weight patient groups than the normal group (p<0.05). Conclusion The values of white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, PLT and PCT which were shown to be associated with inflammation were higher in the obese patients.

BACKGROUND Thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation and production of red blood cells. Thyroid dysfunction induces different effects on blood cells such as anaemia, erythrocytosis, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and alteration in red cell indices. In this study, we wanted to compare the changes in haematological parameters of thyroid dysfunction patients with those of euthyroid group. METHODS This was a retrospective study done on 310 individuals by collecting data from the medical records. Later the patients were categorized into hypothyroid (33) thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH > 5.5 μIU/mL), hyperthyroid (19) (TSH < 0.3 μIU/mL) and euthyroid (258) (TSH = 0.3 - 5.5 μIU/ml) groups. The haematological parameters of all these patients were obtained by 5-part automated cell count analyser. Finally, the obtained data was analyzed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software. RESULTS The data obtained from the analysis revealed statistically significant (P < 0.05) difference between hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and euthyroidism in mean red blood cell (RBC) count, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), red cell distribution width (RDW), white blood cell (WBC) count and platelet count but the difference was not significant for mean haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) (P > 0.05). The mean haemoglobin was lower in hypothyroid patients when compared to euthyroid and hyperthyroid patients. The RBC count (P < 0.007), MCH (P = 0.002) and RDW (P < 0.001) showed statistically significant difference between hypothyroidism and euthyroidism, MCV (P = 0.005) showed statistically significant difference between hyperthyroid and euthyroid groups. CONCLUSIONS In case of patients with abnormal haematological parameters, thyroid hormones evaluation is necessary.

Abstract BackgroundHaematological examination is an important diagnostic tool in the assessment of pig health status. The present study aimed to assess haematological parameters in pigs of different age categories from six farrow-to-finish farms differing in herd health status. The following pig categories were included: 5 age groups of growers (5, 7, 9–10, 11 and 12–13 weeks-old), fatteners and breeding pregnant sows. Individual blood samples for determining complete blood count and white blood cell differential count were taken and group samples of oral fluid and faeces were collected from each animal category in each of the six farms and tested for the detection of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 (PCV2), Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Virus (PRRSV), and Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) using PCR, RT-PCR, and qRT-PCR protocols. Individual blood samples were analysed using an automated laser-based haematology analyser. The following haematological parameters were reported: white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), haematocrit (Hct), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), platelet count (PLT), and percentage and number of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and "large unstained cells" - LUCs. ResultsOn farms free of PRRSV, PCV2 and HEV, age had significant effect on the following parameters: WBC, Hb, MCH, MCHC, PLT, percentage of neutrophils, lymphocytes and eosinophils and absolute numbers of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils and LUCs. On farms with PRRS, PCV2 and/or HEV, age significantly affected all observed blood parameters except the percentage of LUCs. The percentages of lymphocytes, MCV and Hct were significantly lower by PRRSV while WBC, PLT, percentage and absolute number of neutrophils, basophils and LUCs increased. Significantly lower percentages of lymphocytes and increased percentages and absolute numbers of neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils were caused by PCV2 presence. Significantly lower percentage of lymphocytes and MCV and increased RBC, Hb, percentage and number of basophils and percentage of neutrophils were caused by HEV. Conclusions Alterations of haematological parameters reflected the health status of pigs of different categories on infected and on non-infected farms. Age-related changes in haematological parameters occurred in clinically healthy and in infected pigs.

Objective To test the hypothesis that children with less than 48 hours of localized symptoms of deep space neck infections are less likely to have an abscess on CT than children with at least 48 hours of localized symptoms. Methods Children seen in a tertiary hospital between 2000 and 2007 with infections of the head and neck region, excluding peritonsillar abscess, were identified. Data regarding presentation, physical exam findings, radiographic findings, and treatment were extracted. Results Of 179 children identified, 167 (93.3%) underwent a CT scan of the neck, of which 102 (61.1%) were positive for abscess. The median duration of symptoms in children with and without abscess on CT were the same (48 hours). There was no significant difference in the rate of abscess on CT between children with less than 48 hours of localizing symptoms and 48 or more hours of symptoms at 58.1% and 57.7% respectively (p=0.96). Furthermore, there were no significant difference in gender, C-reactive protein levels, or disease location between children with and without abscess on CT. White blood cell counts were significantly higher in the abscess group (p=0.01), however the median white blood cell count in both groups was above normal. Conclusions Because duration of symptoms does not predict finding of abscess on CT scan in pediatric deep neck space infections, it is appropriate to obtain a CT scan upon presentation in all children with symptoms concerning for deep neck space abscess.

To evaluate the effect of heat stress an experiment was conducted in which one cross (PB-1X Naked neck), two pure lines ( PB-1 and Naked neck) and corresponding control populations were generated simultaneously on the same day.120 chicks in PB-1X Naked neck (Control 120), 91 chicks in Naked neck pure( Control 82) and 81 chicks in PB-1 pure ( Control 80)were generated. Temperatures were raised (up to 40°C) by providing the two halogen lamps in each of the heat stressed genetic groups from 4-6 weeks of age. Body weights were recorded at 0, 2,4, 6 and 7 weeks of age along with conformational traits like breast angle and shank length at 6 weeks of age. 2ml of blood was collected at 6weeks of age from all the 6 genetic groups (10 birds from each) to estimate the heat stress parameters. Feed efficiency was recorded at 6 weeks and 7 weeks of age. Significant differences were found for SOD, CAT, ALP and GPx between heat stressed and control genetic groups. Higher estimates were found in heat stressed genetic groups as compared to corresponding control groups. For juvenile body weights in stressful conditions there is significant difference between genetic groups. Lower juvenile body weights were recorded in heat stressed genetic groups as compared to control groups. Lower feed efficiency was recorded in heat stressed genetic groups as compared to corresponding control groups.
