Effect of Smoking on Platelet Count and Platelet Parameters: An Observation
Arterial thrombosis occurs with increased frequency in cigarette smokers. It is believed that disturbance of platelet function, especially aggregation, is the essential mechanism responsible for this pathology. However, the effect of smoking on the quantity of platelets might be another contributing factor.

Evaluation of mean platelet volume and platelet count in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa
Background and Design: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the apocrine glands. The mean platelet volume (MPV) is a risk factor for many inflammatory diseases and can be used as a marker of inflammatory response.

Effect of Platelet Transfusion on the Platelet Parameters of Recipient
Background: Because the platelet parameters have recently been used as indicators for various clinical conditions, there is a need to accurately estimate the platelet parameters by using an automated hematology analyzer. The aim of this study was to investigate an effect of a platelet transfusion on such platelet parameters as the mean platelet volume (

The effect of subclinical hypothyroidism on platelet parameters
Hypothyroidism has a broad clinical spectrum. Today, physicians frequently encounter patients with very mild thyroid dysfunction instead of overt hypothyroidism. These patients have normal serum levels of thyroxine and triiodothyronine and only mildly elevated serum thyrotropin levels.

The effect of molar pregnancies on platelet parameters
The aim of this study was to compare platelet parameters between abortus groups with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) (molar pregnancy, invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, etc) and without disease according to pathological result. The study population consisted of patients with GTD (n = 53) and aborted patients without disease as a control group (n =
