“…In this study, males were shown to have higher RBC parameter values than females, while females had higher WBC and platelet counts than males. These findings are similar to those reported in other countries such as Ghana, 7,8 Turkey, 9 Malaysia, 10 China, 11 and the United Kingdom. 12 It is well known that the differences in RBC values between males and females are primarily due to the influence of the androgenic hormone on erythropoiesis and the menstrual blood loss in females.…”

Background: Hematology laboratory analyses are essential in the diagnosis of and making decisions on clinical cases. Hematology results are only meaningful when reference made to a normal range of values for a particular population. These values are affected by race, diet, and lifestyle the society. Objective: To establish the hematological reference values for adult residents of the city of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Methods: Blood samples collected from 1133 healthy males and female volunteers were analyzed for complete blood count, serum iron, and vitamin B12 concentrations. After applying the exclusion criteria, the hematology results from 762 individuals comprising 313 males and 449 males were included in the study. Results: The mean red blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, and serum iron concentration were higher in males than females while the neutrophil and platelet counts and plateletcrit were higher in females than males. Conclusion: This study for the first time recorded hematological reference intervals for residents of the city of Sulaymaniyah.

“…MPV is the mean size of platelets calculated by hem counter and PCT is calculated automatically by (MPV x platelet count)/10000 formula. Normal median values of MPV and PCT in Turkish population were found as 7.5-12 fl and 0.239 [6] [7] . Alterations of MPV along with platelets have been linked to various diseases associated with inflammation [8] .…”

BACKGROUD Alterations of plateletcrit and mean platelet volume (MPV) and pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have been linked to various inflammatory disorders. The prognostic impact of plateletcrit and MPV were evaluated. METHODS MPV and plateletcrit levels of both CLL and control group were compared and then in CLL patients, additional diseases, leukocyte count, platelet count, lactate dehydrogenase, Rai stage, progression-free and overall survival, mutations, if any, and chemotherapy, if any, were recorded. Then, the relationship between MPV and plateletcrit values and these parameters were evaluated in CLL patients. RESULTS Platelet and plateletcrit values were found to be significantly lower in CLL patients than the control group (p<0.001) for both. Plateletcrit and MPV values of patients who did not receive chemotherapy were higher than those who received chemotherapy (p=0.03, p=0.02, respectively). Being over 75 years old, plateletcrit value less than 0.1565 %, platelet level below 175x 109/L, and leukocyte count greater than 53.5 x 109/L was found to significantly reduce overall survival. Male gender, each stage increase, plateletcrit less than 0.1565 % and leukocyte count greater than 53.5 x 109/L was related to reduced treatment-free survival in CLL patients. CONCLUSION Plateletcrit is a viable prognostic marker for defining both treatment free and overall survival.

“…Nutritional anemia is the most common type of anemia in children. However, thalassemia minor carriage is one of the most common causes of anemia in Türkiye and Mediterranean countries (Kabasakal et al, 2018;Arslan Maden et al, 2020). Thalassemia major, thalassemia intermedia, and thalassemia minor are the three main types.…”

Thalassemia minor carriage is one of the most common causes of anemia in Mediterranean countries. This study aimed to investigate the publications in scientific journals on thalassemia minorwhich is an important health problem, especially in Mediterian countries. The goal of this study was to retrieve data from journals that were indexed in the Web of Science (WoS; Thomson Reuters, New York, NY, USA) database. The WOS Core Collection was used to retrieve comprehensive bibliometric data. Keywords related to "beta-thalassemia carrier," or "beta-thalassemia trait," thalassemia minor" or "heterozygous beta-thalassemia" were used in a search query in the WOS search engine. The time frame was specified since 10 March 2022. The analysis included information on the increase of publications, the most active countries and institutions, the most cited journals, and the mapping of publications and keywords. A total of 8618 publications were retrieved. The first article was published in 1970, and the period between 1970 and 2021 was searched. The maximum number of publications were published in the year 2021. The number of publications had increased since 2009. The most of the publications were articles (61.696 %). The publications were from more than 100 diciplines and most of them from Hematology (49.176%). The publications were from 274 different countries. The most of the publications were from the USA, Italy and Greece. The USA is the top of the list in the number of publications. But with active funding and support from the governments in especilaly the Mediterian countries, which have higher prevelence for thalasemia minor, the productivity of scientific research should be increased.
