The dire wolf (Canis dirus, fearsome dog) is an extinct species of the genus Canis. It is perhaps one of the most famous prehistoric carnivores in North America along with its extinct competitor Smilodon, the sabre-toothed cat.
It is important they remain at adequate levels. As with platelets, neutrophil levels may become depressed in patients on myelosuppressive therapy such as imatinib mesylate (also called IM , Gleevec or Glivec ). The normal range of the percentage of neutrophils is between 45% and 70%. More important than the percentage of neutrophils is the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) , which should fall between 1.0 to 8.0 k/ul.
Elevated WBC was defined as >11 500 per Î¼L. WBC count and percentage neutrophils were the only variables found to be normal in more than half of NAs. A normal neutrophil count (<75%) was present in 79% of NAs; WBC count was normal in 89% of the 22 patients with NAs.
