The rat systemic hematocrit was increased by 44-54% by means of substitution of 2 ml of the rat own blood with the same volume of washed erythrocytes. Cine-TV technique revealed that the linear velocity of blood flow decreased by 20% immediately after the erythrocytes administration in most vessels under study. Changes of the blood flow were different in some microvessels: in 89% of cases the velocity decreased by 100-1600 mu/sec; no changes occurred in 5% of cases; and in 6% of cases the velocity increased by 100-500 mu/sec. The above changes were followed by a drop of arterial pressure (118 and 107 mm Hg, resp.). Within 5 min after increase of the systemic hematocrit, the blood flow was practically restored followed by an increase in the arterial pressure even over initial values. The data obtained suggest that the systemic hematocrit plays a certain part in changes of the blood flow in microvessels, being not, however, a major factor.

Article Synopsis
  • Several laboratory markers from a complete blood count (CBC) have been suggested as possible indicators for the risk of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), but evidence about this link is limited and conflicting.
  • The study involved 295 CVT patients and 341 healthy controls, revealing that CVT patients had higher red cell distribution width (RDW) and lower counts of red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit compared to healthy individuals.
  • It was found that female gender, smoking, and higher hematocrit levels were linked to a greater risk of idiopathic CVT (iCVT), suggesting that some CBC parameters could help identify CVT risk and differentiate between types of CVT, highlighting the need

Background: Contradictory data are available on the possible association between sarcopenia and other clinical disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis.

Objective: To determine the association between sarcopenia and markers associated with systemic inflammation, fasting glycemia, and quality of life in older people with CKD undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Since neurogenic inflammation and hemoconcentration have a prominent role in the pathophysiology of migraine, evaluation of hemogram parameters and indices showing inflammation can yield important information. In this study, we have investigated blood cell counts and ratios, systemic inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and red cell index (RCI) in the painless periods between pain attacks in patients with episodic migraine without aura.

Methods: Hemogram data of both 309 patients diagnosed with migraine without aura related to pain-free periods and 199 healthy individuals were retrospectively retrieved from hospital records.
