An electrical microcytometer for portable blood analysis in global health applications
… to analyze small sample volumes (~10 µL) of blood. The biochip progressively gains more functionality during the study. First, a chip was designed to confirm that the electrical impedance pulse counting technique was a viable method to enumerate CD4+ T cells. Three-dimensional hydrodynamic …

The inflammatory response to acute maximal sprint exercise
… study visits consisting of both exercise and blood draws. Blood analysis seems to indicate that there was a secondary tissue injury, which was responsible for the greatest changes in the measured parameters, although a larger population must be examined to confirm these results. It was also …

Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Postmenopausal Women
… test, CVD risk factors were assessed via blood analysis. On cross sectional analysis, fitness was statistically significantly associated with a decrease in total cholesterol (R2 =.08), the total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio (R2 = .12), triglycerides (R2 = .09), and fibrinogen (R2 = …

The Effects of Active Recovery during High Intensity Resistance Training on Lactate Clearance in Collegiate Athletes
… for the duration of the rest period. The blood lactate levels were recorded during each 2nd rest period utilizing finger prick blood analysis via Nova blood lactate analyzers. The changes in blood lactate were compared between A.R. and P.R. groups using a 5 x 2 repeated measures ANOVA …

Why Mosquitoes Bite Some People More Than Others: Metabolic Correlates of Human Attraction in AEDES AEGYPTI
… preference may be correlated with differences blood metabolites between subjects. We developed the uniport olfactometer as a method for discriminating subject attraction. Within our study population we distinguished three clusters of subjects who were differentially attractive to mosquitoes. We …

The molecular basis of thalassaemia in Sri Lanka
Blood samples from over 1600 schoolchildren revealed a prevalence of both trait and HbE trait, averaging 2.3% and 0.8% respectively. With the present popUlation estimate at 18.6 million, it is predicted that approximately 2650 patients with l3-thalassaemia major and 956 with HbE/I3-thalassaemia …

The effects of active and passive recovery on blood lactate in collegiate female tennis players.
… if a relationship exists between power and blood lactate concentration. Methods: Nine (9) female athletes performed two Wingate Power Tests. One test ended with passive recovery, the other ended with active recovery. Lactate was drawn during the recovery periods. From the Wingate Test, power …

Screening for childhood anaemia using copper sulphate densitometry
… over-estimation by 1.9 g/dl. Logistic regression analysis revealed that both the copper sulphate test and measurements with the BMS-haemoglobinometer predicted anaemia accurately. The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve for the haemoglobinometer was 0.94 (95%CI 0.87; 1), …
