For MCV (mean corpuscular volume): MCV [fl] = (HCT [%] / RBC [million/mcL]) × 10 For MCHC (mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration): MCHC [g/dL] = HGB [g/dL] / HCT [%] × 100 What do low RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit indicate? Low values of the set of three parameters...
This chapter summarizes the methodological issues and empirical findings on the acuity of perception of interoceptive information, dubbed interoceptive accuracy. Both homeostatic (classic visceroceptive channels, thermosensation, itch, pain, affective to
The impairment or loss of the protective mucus layer may cause direct exposure of the intestinal epithelium to microorganisms or pathogens, thereby triggering the development of specific diseases4. For instance, penetrating the intestinal mucus barrier is critical for pathogens such as bacteria or worms...

New technologies are emerging at a fast pace without being properly analyzed in terms of their social impact or adequately regulated by societies. One of the biggest potentially disruptive technologies for the future is the metaverse, or the new Internet
We suggest in Section H, the potential use based on studies in mice of HSCs and HPCs from older individuals for efficient hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), if the cells are more appropriately collected and processed under conditions that maintain their in vivo numbers and functional ...
