Recently, while studying erythrocytic apoptosis during Plasmodium yoelii infection, we observed an increase in the levels of non-parasitised red blood cell (nRBC) apoptosis, which could be related to malarial anaemia. Therefore, in the present study, we attempted to investigate whether nRBC apoptosis is associated with the peripheral RBC count, parasite load or immune response. To this end, BAL...

OBJECTIVE Elevated nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) count is introduced as a potential marker of intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR). To investigate the probable association regardless of any known underlying disease, we aimed to study disturbances in NRBC count in infants experiencing idiopathic IUGR. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty three infants regarded IUGR without any known cause were ch...

BACKGROUND Nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) are present in small numbers in the cord blood of healthy fetuses at birth. Acute and chronic stimuli, such as fetal hypoxia, cause increased circulating levels of NRBCs. Manual counting is presently the only way to quantify NRBCs, but it is time-consuming and inaccurate. Recently, automated approaches have been developed in order to quantify NRBCs. ...

INTRODUCTION In critically ill patients, the appearance of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in blood is associated with a variety of severe diseases. Generally, when NRBCs are detected in the patients' blood, the prognosis is poor. METHODS In a prospective study, the detection of NRBCs was used for a daily monitoring of 383 medical intensive care patients. RESULTS The incidence of NRBCs in...

In this paper, we present analytic formulas of the temporal convolution kernel functions involved in time-domain non-reflecting boundary condition (NRBC) for electromagnetic scattering problems. Such exact themselves lead to accurate and efficient algorithms computing NRBC domain reduction Maxwell’s system $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ . A second purpose paper is derive a new model invisibility cloak. Di...

The Beckman Coulter UniCel® DxH 800 is a hematology analyzer incorporating new electronic and mechanical design with advanced algorithm technology to perform CBC, white blood cell (WBC) differential, nucleated red blood cell (NRBC), and reticulocyte analysis. Evaluation of this instrument was performed in our 800-bed tertiary care hospital and specifically centered upon the correlation of WBC, ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical value of lactate measurement and nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) counts when compared to base excess (BE) in the blood collected from the placental segment of the umbilical vein. METHODS 25 umbilical cords from premature babies were sampled after placental delivery and cord clamping. Babies were followed until discharge. Statistics involved linear regression...

BACKGROUND The appearance of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in peripheral blood is associated with a variety of severe diseases. When NRBCs are detected in blood, this is generally associated with increased mortality. METHODS In a prospective study, NRBCs and other laboratory parameters were measured daily in the peripheral blood of surgical intensive care patients. The appearance of NRBCs...

blood cell lineage which still contain a nucleus; they are also known as erythroblasts or – obsolete – normoblasts. In healthy adults and older children, NRBC can only be found in blood-building bone marrow where they mature. Their appearance in peripheral blood points to extramedullary erythropoiesis (outside the bone marrow) or disruption of the blood – bone marrow barrier. Both possible scen...

Time-dependent dispersive shallow water waves in an unbounded domain are considered. The in5nite domain is truncated via an arti5cial boundary B, and a high-order non-re(ecting boundary condition (NRBC) is imposed on B. Then the problem is solved by a 5nite di6erence scheme in the 5nite domain bounded by B. The sequence of NRBCs proposed by Higdon is used. However, in contrast to the original l...
