Comparison of Red Blood Cell (RBC) Histogram and Indices on Peripheral Blood Smears for the Detection of Anemia: A Study Protocol.

Background Anemia is characterized by a lower red blood cell (RBC) count than the usual rate or the average count that should be found in the blood. It is described by the reduction in the concentration of hemoglobin, the number of RBCs, and the O2-carrying capacity of the blood. A complete blood count (CBC) gives serious information on changes in the size and shape of RBCs and an indication of inclusion bodies that will help exclude anemia.

A Case Report of Duodenal Malignancy and Its Management With Pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Gastrointestinal malignancies, most specifically duodenal malignancy, are uncommon in the population; however, they are tricky to manage because the lesions are diagnosed at a late stage and located in a complex area. This case report focuses on a patient who was diagnosed with a second (descending) part of the duodenum (D2) malignancy; the tumour was localised at the second part of the duodenum, and the management of this patient was through the Whipple procedure or pancreaticoduodenectomy. The patient complained of stinging abdomen pain.
