A sand wedge has plenty of qualities that help it stand apart: 1  The sand wedge features a 54 to 58 degree loft, which pushes the ball further enough to rise out of the bunker and land on the greens. 2  The special bounce of the sand wedge makes it easier to target the ball when it is buried in the sand.
Red cell distribution width or RDW is a parameter that measures variation in red blood cell size or red blood cell volume. A high RDW (over 14.5%) means that the red blood cells vary a lot in size. A normal RDW is 11.6 to 14.6%, but researchers from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute found that patients with a RDW level greater than or equal to 12.9% had an increased risk for depression. The new study found that the higher the RDW, the greater the risk for depression for patients.
Indications/Applications. Red cell distribution width (RDW) laboratory test is a part of a standard complete blood count (CBC), and it is used along with other RBC indices, especially mean corpuscular volume (MCV) to help determine the causes of anemia.
