(Testing effects of ether) How would you describe the trace that is generated when the nerve is exposed to ether and then stimulated with adequate voltage? Thus ether had what effect on nerves ability to produce an action potential?
Low white blood cell counts (WBC) can be particularly problematic, because your white blood cell count is so closely tied to your immune systemâs ability to protect you from infection. Because a low white blood count can be life threatening, itâs a good idea to familiarize yourself with the symptoms and terminology. When you get your blood work, the lab will be looking for: Leukopenia â A decrease in the total number of white blood cells, which can lead to a lowered white blood cell count. Neutropenia â A decrease in the number of neutrophils, also creating a lower WBC. Granulocytopenia â Another term that may be used for Neutropenia.
Drug-induced Thrombocytopenia. When drugs are the cause of low platelets, the disease is called drug-induced thrombocytopenia (DITP). In some cases, as in chemotherapy drugs, the drop in platelet count is due to changes in the bone marrow. In other cases antibodies can develop to both the drug and platelets at the same time, causing the platelets to drop. Sometimes drugs cause a combination of both bone marrow and immune problems.42.
