White Blood Cells White blood cells, also called leukocytes, are cells that exist in the blood, the lymphatic systemand tissues and are an important part of the body's natural defense immune system. Manual platelet counts are performed in a similar manner, although some methods leave the red blood cells intact. The device was Blood Count designed for counting red blood cells, but with later modifications it proved effective for counting white blood cells. See the child's lab report for reference ranges.

Automated methods for measuring hemoglobin were developed in the s, and Maxwell Wintrobe introduced the Wintrobe hematocrit method inwhich in turn allowed him to define the red blood cell indices. Some therapies, such as chemotherapycan affect bone marrow production of cells. Louis: Mosby Elsevier;Pp Bleeding Blood Count. Assuming that the characteristics of the patient population remain roughly the same over time, the average should remain constant; large shifts in the average value can indicate instrument problems.

An abnormally low hemoglobin, hematocrit, or red blood cell count indicates anemia.

Sc Students, Department of Chemistry (Bio-Chemistry), Fergusson College Pune, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India Associate Consultant, Laboratory Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, India ABSTRACT: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized with persistent hyperglycemia due to , inappropriate glucose use or insufficient insulin production of pancreas. There is a defect in insulin effect, secretion or both. Due to sedentary life style and obesity, incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing. Oral hypoglycaemic drugs or insulin therapy along with diet control and exercise helps the diabetic individual to keep proper glycemic control. Glycemic control is must in DM. Glycemic control is the main target of treatment in protection against organ damage and other complications of DM. Glycatedhemoglobin (HbA1C) follow-up is made in order to measure the efficiency of the treatment in DM and observe the glycemic control. HbA1C is formed as the result of non-enzymatic reaction of glucose to hemoglobin. It provides information on the average blood glucose levels of past 8-12 weeks in DM treatment. HbA1C is the golden standard in glycemic control of patients. Hyperglycemia tend to have effect on RBC survival and glycation of haemoglobin Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is the symbol of red blood cell volume distribution width coefficient of variation.

  • A Study of the Neonatal Haematology of Children with Down Syndrome
    A study of the neonatal haematology of children with Down syndrome Rebecca James submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Health Sciences University of York, March 2011 Abstract This thesis describes the establishment and initial findings of the Children with Down Syndrome Study, a birth cohort of children with DS. The Children with Down Syndrome Study was set up in order to characterise the haematology of neonates with Down syndrome and specifically to test the hypothesis that that this differed in this population. The study was carried out with the support of the Down Syndrome Association and the Down Syndrome Medical Interest Group, and through consultation with clinicians and families. Following a pilot study in the Yorkshire region it was established in over 60 hospitals across the north of England. The Children with Down Syndrome Study is the largest birth cohort of children with Down syndrome established to date, and this is the largest reported analysis of the haematology of neonates with Down syndrome. The results confirm that neonates with Down syndrome have a distinct haematological profile. Means and ranges for haematological parameters throughout the neonatal period are provided. The effects of gestational age, birth weight, postnatal age and the venepuncture to processing interval on the neonatal full blood count were examined, and this is the first report of factors that influence the haematological parameters in neonates with Down syndrome. In order to analyse the blood cell morphology a new approach to morphology was developed and validated. Morphological review of samples from neonates with Down syndrome demonstrated that blasts were common.

The CBC indicates the amounts of white blood cellsred blood cells and plateletsthe concentration of hemoglobinand the hematocrit the volume percentage of red blood cells. The red Blood Counts cell indiceswhich indicate the average size and hemoglobin content of red blood cells, are also reported, and a white blood cell differentialwhich counts the different types of Blood Counts blood cells, may be included. The CBC is often carried out as part of a medical assessment, and can be used to monitor health or diagnose diseases. The results are interpreted by comparing them to reference rangeswhich vary with gender and age. Conditions like anemia and thrombocytopenia are defined by abnormal complete blood count results. The red blood cell indices can provide information about the cause of a person's anemia such as iron deficiency and vitamin B12 deficiencyand the results of the white blood cell differential can help to diagnose viralbacterial and parasitic infections and blood disorders like leukemia. Not all results falling outside of the reference range require medical intervention. The CBC is performed using basic laboratory equipment or an automated hematology analyzerwhich counts red and white Blood Counts cells and platelets and collects information on their size Blood Counts structure. The concentration of hemoglobin is measured, and the red blood cell indices are calculated from measurements of red Blood Counts cells and hemoglobin.

  • It's in the Blood: the Varieties of Linus Pauling's Work on Hemoglobin and Sickle Cell Anemia
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Melinda Gormley for the degree of Master of Science in History of Science presented on October 22. 2003. Title: It's in the Blood: The Varieties of Linus Pauling's Work on Hemoglobin and Sickle Cell Anemia approved: Mary Jo Nye Linus Pauling incorporated hemoglobin and a disease of the blood, sickle cell anemia, into many of his researches between the mid-1930s and mid-1970s. In the early 1 930s Pauling became interested in organic chemistry and named hemoglobin as one of the first biochemical substances that he planned to analyze. In 1935 he published his first paper on hemoglobin, which determined the structure of the four hemes in hemoglobin. Pauling continued to study the structure of hemoglobin until the early 1950s when he proposed that it was an alpha-helix. In 1945 Pauling learned about sickle cell anemia and published an important paper in 1949 with Harvey A. Itano, S. J. Singer, and Ibert C. Wells titled "Sickle Cell Anemia, a Molecular Disease." Pauling investigated hemoglobin into the mid-1970s when he tried to find an orthomolecular therapy for sickle cell anemia. From the mid-1950s to early 1970s, Pauling also used sickle cell anemia to promote negative eugenics, point out the possible mutagenic effects caused by nuclear weapons testing, and propose an evolutionary theory. Additionally, in the final year of his life, Pauling wrote two forewords for books on sickle cell anemia, which were published in 1994, theyear he died. Hemoglobin and sickle cell anemia can be considered a theme within Pauling's work.
