A 69-year-old man had lethargy and lower-back pain for several months. His physical findings showed mild congestive heart failure and no focal neurologic signs. The CBC was normal except for thrombocytopenia. Renal and hepatic function were normal. A sedimentation rate was markedly elevated, and his peripheral smear ( 40) is shown. The stacking of cells (rouleaux formation) facilitates the rate...
متن کاملAggregation of Red Blood Cells: From Rouleaux to Clot Formation
Red blood cells are known to form aggregates in the form of rouleaux. This aggregation process is believed to be reversible, but there is still no full understanding on the binding mechanism. There are at least two competing models, based either on bridging or on depletion. We review recent experimental results on the single cell level and theoretical analyses of the depletion model and of the ...

متن کاملComparison of sizes and shapes of tumor cells in plasma cell leukemia and plasma cell myeloma.
Thirteen cases of plasma cell leukemia and 13 cases of nonleukemia plasma cell myeloma were compared with respect to the sizes and shapes of tumor cells in marrow smears. It was demonstrated that the leukemia cells were elongated or ovoid and significantly smaller in size, whereas the myeloma cells were generally more nearly round and larger.
