The XE-2100 is a new automated hematology analyzer developed by Sysmex Corporation. With consideration of medical analyzer requirements for the 21st century, this unit was developed to satisfy the following concepts and to cope with diversified laboratory needs. 1) Electronic network communication 2) Presentation of high level value-added information 3) Contribution to test cost control 4) Purs...

By JAN FOGH A NUMBER OF AUTHORS’-4 have observed that the response to erythropoietin ( ESF ) in the erythremic mouse assay is substantially enhanced when the ESF dose is administered in fractions. Fogh5 demonstrated that the response to 1.0 IRP units of ESF, determined by #{176}9Fe incorporation into RBC or by the number of reticulocytes in the blood, is increased one to four days after a previ...

Cord blood is widely used as surrogate tissue in epigenome-wide association studies of prenatal conditions. Cell type composition variation across samples can be an important confounder of epigenome-wide association studies in blood that constitute a mixture of cells. We evaluated a newly developed cord blood reference panel to impute cell type composition from DNA methylation levels, including...

BACKGROUND Bone marrow aspirates contain primarily red blood cells. To achieve efficient cell transplantation for regeneration, the red blood cells need to be removed from the aspirates. Cell isolation is typically performed using density gradient centrifugation. However, this method entails issues of clinical safety and convenience. This study describes an efficient method to concentrate bone ...

background: red blood cell and other blood products play a crucial role in management of different disease processes, but in spite of implementation of crucial steps to improve the process of request for blood and blood consumption, there is still not enough information available regarding the proper practice in many medical centres. we aimed to evaluate the status of blood product requests and...

The immediate and short term outcomes of term newborns with perinatal asphyxia were studied in relation to the nucleated red blood cell count at admission. The mean (SD) NRBC/100WBC (white blood cells) was significantly higher in sequelae group than normal [9.8 (98.9) vs. 2.9 (43); P=0.001].
