To investigate blood carboxyhaemoglobin saturation levels in coronial deaths where carbon monoxide (CO) is supected of playing a causative or contributary role in the death of a person. Retrospective analysis of all departmental cases (around 100) from 2009 to 2011 in which CO levels have been ...
Haemoglobin (Hb) is the substance in the blood that gives it the red colour. It is what carries oxygen in the blood to the body tissue and it is made from iron and protein. Normal hemoglobin level is about 12 to 16 in women and 14 to 18 in men. Low levels below 10 in anybody is...
1 unit of blood should increase a patient’s haemoglobin by around 10g/L. Patients given red blood cells may produce autoantibodies to donor surface antigens (of which there are many, other than ABO and RhD). Because of this, before any future transfusions, a new G&S will need to be...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a one-rod levonorgestrel implant on the blood chemistry profile, including random blood glucose (RBG), haemoglobin (Hb), alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST), and the lipid profile, including total cholesterol, high-density...
Hemolysis is a cardinal feature of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and during hemolysis excess arginase 1 is released from red blood cells. Increased arginase activity leads to reduced L-arginine, as it is converted to urea and L-ornithine, and thereby r
(LVEF) or absolute values below the lower limit of the normal range.50,87Limitations of the use of LVEF are that it requires meticulous attention to detail, but more importantly, changes in LVEF are a late event compared with falling T2* levels <20 ms and with low-to-moderate levels ...
the storage time for blood gases and CO-oximetry panels was 45 min. If the complete range ofpO2’s is considered together (15–150 mmHg) with no consideration for initialpO2, then a storage time of up to 40 min can be acceptable at room temperature, depending on the laboratory’s total...
In addition, the blood buffering capacity is 3 to 10 times lower in fish than in terrestrial vertebrates due to 5–10 times lower plasma bicarbonate levels and substantially lower non-bicarbonate buffering (due to fewer red blood cells and therefore haemoglobin18, so the same amount of acid ...
suggesting that the exposure to nGO and nGO-PEG had a slight effect on the extrinsic coagulation pathway. In contrast, aPTT values exceeded the normal range and were markedly prolonged in a concentration-dependent way after nGO and nGO NP treatment. Intriguing results were obtained for the samples...
(progesterone). It is also worth noting that in the blood of gilts characterized by low levels of progesterone, a slightly higher mass of haemoglobin in the red blood cell, MCH, and the number of leukocytes was observed. On the other hand, the other analysed blood parameters had higher ...
