Extracorporeal Circulation: Effect of Long-Term (24-Hour) Circulation on Blood Components
Extracorporeal circulation damages blood and causes harmful side effects such as stroke and/or systemic inflammatory response in patients. Reactions of blood components to extracorporeal circulation include complement and inflammatory reactions, coagulation and thrombogenesis, frank hemolysis, and …

The Influence of Certain Lytic Agents on the Oxygen Consumption of Dog Erythrocytes
… methylene blue. A reduction in the patient's red blood cell count was obtained but further studies were impossible when the patient became lost in the confusion of the war (3). Investigation of methylene blue as a chemotherapeutic agent again revealed its hemolytic action. Mice were successfully …

Controlled cross circulation: effects on donor hemodynamics
… dP/dt max, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, blood volume, systemic vascular resistance, heart rate, total protein, platelet count, and white blood cell count did not change significantly. Donor cardiac output, end diastolic volume, central venous pressure, stroke volume, mean arterial blood …

A Correlational Analysis of Anthropometric Measures and Selected Blood, Immune and Endocrine Indices in Adult Males
… measured were: lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose, cortisol, white blood cell count and differentials, and lymphocyte proliferation. Percentage body fat was significantly related to a deterioration in the lipid profile as represented by an increase in both very low density …

An investigation into the effects of intermittent hypoxia on patients with essential hypertension
… Some of these benefits include increased red blood cell count, haemoglobin concentration, tissue capillarisation, and decreased heart rate. An interesting effect observed following intermittent exposure to hypoxia is a noticeable decrease in blood pressure (BP) in people with essential …

A Study of the Effect of Methylene Blue on Lactate Metabolism of the Dog Erythrocyte
… methylene blue as an agent for reducing the red blood cell count, after having produced hemolytic anemia in dogs with the dye. McLimans and Grant (3), while conducting studies on Tsutsugamushi fever, noted that the administration of methylene blue to rats infected with R. nipponica, although …

Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies of mycophenolic acid in renal transplant recipients
… using non linear mixed effects modeling. White blood cell count appeared to be the sole important covariate affecting the IC50 of free MPA, substantially reducing inter-individual variation in this PD parameter by 5.3% and intra-individual variation by 25.47%.This study confirmed that patients …
