BACKGROUND Information on the prognostic utility of the admission complete blood count (CBC) and differential count is lacking. OBJECTIVE To identify independent predictors of mortality from the varied number and morphology of cells in the complete blood count defined as a hemogram, automated five cell differential count and manual differential count. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study and c...

1. Hemorrhage with immediate saline infusion causes the appearance in the peripheral blood of a slightly increased number of normoblasts provided normoblasts are already present in the blood stream. Marrow hyperplasia does not intensify this reaction and the cells found probably do not leave the marrow pulp but are in the blood stream at the time of the experiment. 2. The slight increase in cel...

In the capillary venules, blood cells auto-separate with red blood cells aggregating near the centre of vessel and the nucleated cells marginating toward the wall of vessel. In this experiment, we used cell margination to help enrich the Jurkat cells via a groove-based channel which provides a vertical expansion-contraction structure, wherein the red blood cells invade the grooves and push the ...

1. The respiration of the reticulocytes of the rabbit has been measured during the period of an anemia produced by phenylhydrazine. Though the respiration increased greatly during the phase of regeneration, the oxygen consumption per billion reticulocytes throughout the period remained approximately the same. 2. The respiration of the reticulocytes was affected by changes in the reaction of the...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated whether the absolute nucleated red blood cell (RBC) count is elevated in term, appropriate for gestational age (AGA) infants born to women exposed to passive smoking in pregnancy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We compared absolute nucleated RBC counts taken during the first 12 hours of life in 2 groups of term, vaginally delivered infants, 1 group born to mothers who were routin...

In a previous report, it was suggested that intrauterine crowding impaired fetal erythropoiesis and that fetal erythropoiesis was accelerated in Meishan pigs during early pregnancy. Because these conclusions were based on limited numbers of observations, the present experiment was undertaken to provide a more extensive investigation of these phenomena. Intact white crossbred gilts, unilaterally...

In the present study we investigated the potential of the Sysmex XE-2100 automated hematology analyzer as a screening device for bone marrow (BM) aspirates. We evaluated BM cellularity, white blood cell (WBC) differential count, immature granulocyte (IG) count, nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count, granulocyte/erythroid (G/E) and myeloid/erythroid (M/E) ratio, and potential pathologyrelated sc...

A 43-year-old man presented with fever, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Physical examination revealed bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. Complete blood count showed hemoglobin of 9.8 g/dL, a white cell count of 4.4 3 10/L, and a platelet count of 195 3 10/L. Blood smear showed increased red blood cell agglutination, polychromasia with nucleated red cells, and atypical lymphocytosis (panel A)...
