Update on Reticulocyte Counting [PDF]
Reticulocyte counts are expressed either as a proportion, as has been the practice for microscopic reticulocyte counts, or, preferably, in absolute terms, which are less ambiguous for clinical interpretation. The precision of reticulocyte counting has improved remarkably since the introduction of hematology analyzers and flow cytometers. In addition to

The method of quantitation of polychromatophilic cell is routinely used in veterinary clinical laboratories to identify the bone marrow response. However, there is no standardization of this approach over the absolute reticulocyte count.

Clinical Significance of Immature Reticulocyte Fraction Determined by Automated Reticulocyte Counting [PDF]
The Sysmex R-3000 (TOA Medical Electronics, Kobe, Japan) evaluates maturation of reticulocytes by quantitating the fraction of reticulocytes within low-, middle-, and high-fluorescence intensity regions. We defined the immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) as the sum of the fraction of high-fluorescence intensity regions plus the fraction of middle ...

ABSTRACT Aim In this article, we present two cases of severe fetal hemolytic anemia based on a beta‐thalassaemia trait inherited from a single parent. Results These cases, presented at 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, necessitated intra‐uterine blood transfusions.

Abstract Objective To compare the dialysis efficiency parameters between new single‐needle dialysis and conventional double‐needle dialysis and to explore the optimal prescription parameters for single‐needle hemodialysis. Methods This study involved a prospective, cross‐over design. Eight patients were randomly divided into two cohorts, which received

Effects of bone metabolism on hematopoiesis: A Mendelian randomization study
Objectives: Osteoblast is known to regulate hematopoiesis according to preclinical studies but the causal relationship in human remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate causal relationships of bone mineral density (BMD) with blood cell traits using ...

Summary Haemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease is the second most prevalent form of sickle cell disease, but evidence for hydroxyurea (hydroxycarbamide; HU) to prevent pain episodes was limited until the prospective identification of variables as outcomes for treatment (PIVOT) trial.

Summary Cerebral macrovasculopathy (CV) is a major complication in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) and usually requires a long‐term transfusion programme (TP) to prevent stroke. This study aimed to identify factors predicting reversal of CV on TP in a single‐centre newborn cohort. Among 375 patients, 50 presented CV and received TP.
