Objective: There have been few studies on hematological parameters (e.g., hemoglobin, red cell distribution width, white blood cells, and mean platelet volume), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study aimed to compare hematological parameters between women with PCOS and controls.
Methods: We performed an age-matched case-control study in Faisal bin Mishal Center for Infertility, Buraidah (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). The cases were women with PCOS and an equal number of healthy women were enrolled as controls. The basic gynecological history was recorded and blood samples were analyzed for blood parameters using an automated hematology analyzer.
Results: The two groups (60 women in each arm of the study) were similar in age. However, body mass index was significantly higher in women with PCOs compared with controls. There were no significant differences in any of the hematological parameters (hemoglobin, red blood cells, red cell distribution width, white blood cells, platelets, and mean platelet volume) between the two groups.
Conclusion: There does not appear to be a significant difference in hematological parameters in Saudi women with PCOS and healthy controls. A larger study on this issue is required in the future.

Background: Almost all multiple myeloma (MM) patients will eventually develop disease that has relapsed with or become refractory to current therapeutic regimes. However, the pervious clinical parameters have been proved inaccurate for defining MM relapse, and molecular targets have become the focuses of interests. Prognostic predictions based on molecular targets have been more effective to this day.

Purpose: The incidence of cancer, which is a serious public health concern, is increasing. A predictive analysis driven by machine learning was integrated with haematology parameters to create a method for the simultaneous diagnosis of several malignancies at different stages.
Patients And Methods: We analysed a newly collected dataset from various hospitals in Jordan comprising 19,537 laboratory reports (6,280 cancer and 13,257 noncancer cases).

Background: Malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and/or mortality in tropical Africa. The spread and development of resistance to chemical antimalarial drugs and the relatively high cost of the latter are problems associated with malaria control and are reasons to promote the use of plants to meet healthcare needs to treat malaria. The aim of this study was to evaluate antiplasmodial activities of extracts of (Mah quat), which is traditionally used for the treatment of malaria in the western region of Cameroon.
