There was no need for an oven. I chose to make chocolate donuts with chocolate glaze, topped with St. Pattyâs Day sprinkles. I adapted a recipe for the donuts from Wilton and adapted the glaze from a recipe I found on myrecipes.com from Sunset magazine. Then I headed to a local bakery at my Maceyâs grocery store.
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a machine-calculated measurement of the average size of platelets found in blood and is typically included in blood tests as part of the CBC.PV is higher when there is destruction of platelets. This may be seen in inflammatory bowel disease, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myeloproliferative diseases and Bernard-Soulier syndrome.
Applications. Typically, the mean platelet volume ranges between 7.2 to 11.7 fL. This is roughly equivalent to tiny spheres that range in size from 2.65 to 2.8 micrometer in diameter. Any value of the mean platelet volume outside this range is indicative of an underlying clinical process. Platelets whose mean platelet volume is above the normal range are called macro-thrombocytes while those below the normal range are micro-thrombocytes. The table below lists the different conditions where mean platelet volume may vary.
