Materials methods:143 participated this study.Platelet were determined using Sysmex XP 300 hematology analyzer.Results: Mean with stage 0/1, 2, 3/4, was...
Hibiscus sabdariffa is a species of in the Malvaceae family. widely consumed as Zobo drink beverage Nigeria with many health benefits, and it believed that brilliant reddish coloration methanolic extract this plant’s calyx may have staining effect on thin blood smear. Hence, study aims to examine peripheral films other obtain more surrogates for hematological stains. Dried was obtained commercially from Yola. The calyces were pulverized fine powder 10g soaked 50ml absolute methanol 12hours...
Bee sting envenomation results in alteration of hematological parameters but Yola, information regarding effect bee on children is not well documented. This study therefore aims to examine the Yola. 133 subjects participated this study, comprising 64(female = 21, male 43) with mean age 48±3.8months having and 69(female 31, 38) apparently healthy without stings 47±6.1months. Hematological all were determined using Sysmex XN550 hematology analyzer. Mean red cell count subject was 4.39±0.3...
