The Curious Case of the Sphered Blood Cells: Unveiling Hereditary Spherocytosis
Abstract: Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited blood disorder that disrupts the shape and flexibility of red blood cells (RBCs) due to genetic mutations. These abnormal, sphere-shaped RBCs, called spherocytes, are prematurely destroyed in the spleen, leading to hemolytic anemia. Symptoms range from mild fatigue to chronic weakness and shortness of breath. While incurable, Hereditary spherocytosis can be effectively managed. Regular monitoring, folic acid supplementation, and in severe cases, splenectomy (surgical …

Automated Blood Cell Counting and Disease Identification Using Image Processing: Implications for Polymer Composite- Based Biomedical Diagnostic Devices
Abstract: Accurate quantification of blood cells is central to clinical decision-making and to the performance of emerging polymer composite–based diagnostic platforms. This work presents a cost-effective, image-processing pipeline for automated counting of red blood cells (including overlapping cells), white blood cells, and platelets from Leishman-stained peripheral blood smears, and articulates its relevance to polymer composite microfluidic and biosensor devices. Implemented in Python with OpenCV, the workflow performs grayscale conversion, median/Gaussian denoising, …

Advanced Deep Learning Techniques for Sickle Cell Anaemia Detection
Abstract: Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is a prevalent genetic blood disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, resulting in the distinctive sickle shape of red blood cells. Timely and accurate identification of Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is essential for effective management and treatment. This study presents a new method that utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a deep learning model particularly effective for image analysis. The process involves using microscopic images …

Assay of the Antitrypanosomal Activity of Ziingiber Officinale Extract in Wister Rats
Abstract: This research investigated the antitrypanosomal effects of Zingiber officinale in rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Twelve adult rats, 7 weeks old and of both sexes, were randomly divided into six groups (1 through 6), with each group consisting of two rats. All six groups (1–6) were intraperitoneally injected with 0.1 ml of blood containing 10⁶ Trypanosomes/ml. Groups 1–4 received daily intraperitoneal doses of the plant extract at concentrations of …

Blood Cell Saver Machine
Abstract: Intraoperative Cell Salvage (ICS) is a crucial technique in modern surgical practice aimed at minimizing the need for allogeneic blood transfusions. By collecting, filtering, washing, and re-infusing a patient’s own blood lost during surgery, ICS provides a safer and cost-effective alternative to donor transfusion, reducing the risk of transfusion-related infections and immunologic reactions. Initially conceptualized in the early 19th century, ICS technology evolved significantly with the introduction of the Cell …

Comparative Evaluation of GPBB and CK-MB in Early Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients
Abstract: Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and death among people worldwide. To lower the risk of problems, early and precise diagnosis is essential, particularly for diabetes patients. The study investigates the diagnostic value of Glycogen Phosphorylase BB (GPBB), a potential early biomarker of myocardial necrosis, and compares it with CK-MB, a widely used cardiac marker, in AMI diagnosis. Inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α) …

Effect of Polyherbal Formulation on Blood Biochemical Parameters in Post-Weaned Ghoongroo Piglets with Diarrhea in West Bengal
Abstract: Weaning condition is one of the critical and challenging phases of piglet where they get separated from mother and exposed to different environment. Sudden and abrupt changes in the total environment lead to the increase of physical stress that leads to various diseases, such as diarrhea, to the piglets. Use of phytogenic feed additives other than antibiotics is safe not only to the livestock, but also to the consumers and …

Associations of C-RP with Renal Function Group and some Clinical Parameters in Patients with Dialysis in Iraq
Abstract: Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a disease for which there are high mortality rates among those infected with many complications, including high rates of inflammation, anaemia, osteoporosis, and other complications. Methods: The current study was designed to evaluate the kidney functions of patients undergoing dialysis, where levels were evaluated Urea, Uric Acid, and Creatinine, in addition to C-Reactive Protein as a progressive of inflammation parameter, and to evaluate anaemia levels …
