The German physician Rudolf Virchow observed greatly increased numbers of white blood cells in the blood smear of one of his patients, and coined the term leukemia (meaning “white blood”) to describe this phenomenon. Clinicians of the day subsequently reported that although leukemia was rare, ...
When blood is collected from a patient it is allowed to clot in a test tube, where the cells and clotting factors fall to the bottom and the serum is left on top. Serum is tested for all the numerous items discussed above to determine if any abnormalities exist. Blood Types There are...
The enzymes in circulation either can be plasma-specific, meaning that they are present in plasma to perform a normal function (e.g., thrombin and plasmin), or nonplasma-specific, meaning that their concentrations are low or undetectable in plasma under normal conditions, but undergo elevations ...
The result of the test is expressed as number of cells per unit volume, specifically cells/µL. A typical lab’s normal range is 4.2 – 5.4 x 106/µL for females; for adults males it is 4.7 – 6.1 x 106/µL. If the number of RBCs is decreased at least 10% below normal, ...
blood test methods in samples from 126 dogs suspected of having IMHA. In addition, 28 samples from healthy non-anemic dogs served as negative controls. Using a variety of direct antiglobulin (Coombs’) test (DAT) methods, antibody-coated RBCs were detected in approximately half of the samples...
Meaning Long-term maintenance strategies may be needed to sustain blood pressure intervention effects over several years. Abstract Importance Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. The results were previously reported of a trial of home blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring and pharmacist...
Manual auscultatory measurement of upper arm blood pressure (BP) with a mercury sphygmomanometer was the gold standard non-invasive test and mainstay clinical method to diagnose hypertension in the twentieth century [1, 2] This indirect measurement method, as well as automated BP methods, was use...

The father's Christian name thus became his son's surname and the abbreviations ap or ab (meaning "son of") were either dropped or become absorbed in the parent's baptismal name to yield such forms as : Bevan, Bowen, Parry, Price, Pugh. "This system of changing surnames each generation...
To test for functional enrichment within all three scenarios, we performed GOEA for up- or downregulated transcripts in the respective comparison using gene ontology set of biological processes. Gene set “c5.bp.v7.0.symbols.gmt” was obtained from the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) [46]...
