Changes in haematological parameters during a summer expedition in Antarctica
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of extreme climatic conditions and a long stay in isolation on levels of three haematological parameters in the polar expedition participants. This article describes changes in erythrocyte count, hemoglobin and transferrin levels measured on the 9th Cz...

A statistically significant increase in hemoglobin levels was only detected between the first and the final sampling (p Article in Journal/Newspaper Antarc* Antarctic Antarctica Masaryk University Journals Antarctic The Antarctic |
