Abstract

Introduction:

Renal insufficiency, a global pandemic, is rapidly gaining attention, affecting over 800 million people (>10%) worldwide. Tragically, millions succumb each year due to haemostatic dysfunction and negative thromboembolic dynamics. Haemostatic biomarkers measure the integrity

and dynamics of haemostasis. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate these biomarkers and platelet indices to elucidate the dynamics of the

haemostatic system in ESRD.

Abstract

Introduction:

Haematological parameters have been shown to predict  severity, mortality and treatment follow-up in breast cancer patients as well

as the interaction between tumour and haemostatic functions. This study shows the changes in haematological and haemostatic parameters and the corresponding effect of chemotherapy on haematological parameters.

Introduction:

Tuberculosis, a significant health concern and leading infectious disease in man, is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Research shows that Tuberculosis affects the coagulation factors and causes elongated Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) in infected subjects. This study was carried out to evaluate coagulation factors VII, XII, ADAMTS 13, and vWF in TB disease and treatment.

Abstract

Introduction:

Although NSAIDs are widely used for inflammation and pain relief, limited research exists on how these drugs may affect the morphology of bloodcells. The precise impact of NSAIDs on blood cell shape remains poorly understood despite their widespread usage.

Abstract

Introduction:

The ultimate goal of blood transfusion practice is to ensure a steady stream of safe blood. The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every part of life and the economy. Consequently, this study aims to assess the effect of the pandemic on blood supply and blood transfusion in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.

Breast cancer is a significant health concern globally, with high mortality rates recorded in Nigeria over the past decades. Breast cancer has a multifaceted treatment/management approach; therefore, understanding health professionals’ perspectives regarding management strategies and recommendations is vital for optimizing patient care.

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Anaemia is a haematological disorder characterized by  reduced red blood cells or an inadequate oxygen-binding capacity of hemoglobin molecules to transport oxygen to different tissues and satisfy physiological needs. Medicinal plants are essential to the healthcare

system, especially in rural communities. One such plant with a wide spectrum of patronage is Carica papaya (Gwanda). This present study

aimed to investigate the effect of Carica papaya seeds on the red blood cell and platelet indices in phenylhydrazine-induced anemia Wistar rats.
