• A blood group also called a Blood Type.
• Classification of blood is based on the presence or absence
of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood
cells (RBCs).
• These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates,
glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group
system.

An absolute eosinophil count is a blood test that measures the number of one type of white blood cells called eosinophils.
Eosinophils become active when you have certain allergic diseases, infections, and other medical conditions.

Red blood cell (RBC) indices measure the size, shape, and quality of your red blood cells. Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, carry oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. Your cells need oxygen to grow, reproduce, and stay healthy.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. Hemoglobin
• Hemoglobin (Hb) is the major constituent of the
red cell cytoplasm, accounting for approximately
90% of the dry weight of the mature cell.
• It is comprised of heme and globin.
01
3. Hemoglobin
• The hemoglobin molecule is a tetramer consisting of
two pairs of similar polypeptide chains called globin
chains, and to each of the four chains is attached
heme which is a complex of iron in ferrous form
and protoporphyrin.

Measure the absorbance of the solution by using a
spectrophotometer at a wavelength = 540nm. Then
compare it with the standard solution of HiCN.

2. Acid haematin method:
Principle:
Blood + 0.1N HCL Acid haematin
Then match the color of solution with reference solution
colorimeter or colored strip (you may dilute by D.W.)
Other names: “SAHLI’s haemoglobinometer”
However this method is inaccurate.

How can we read Hb value?
Compare the color of solution in the graduated tube with
that of reference strip on either side of haemoglobinometer.
Graduated tube has two scales: % and g/100 ml of whole blood.
14
16. Procedure of acid haematin method:
• If the color of graduated tube is Darker add either 0.1N
HCl or D.W -drop by drop- with pipette; mix with glass
rod until the color matches with reference strip.
• The reading in graduated tube refers to Hb level in g/dl
(some tubes give reading in %; to convert into g/dl
multiply by 0.146)
• If read is 10 Hb = 10% × 0.146 = 14.6 g/dL
15
17. Precaution
16
• Before the sample is read the solution should be clear.
• If high WBC in specimen centrifuge the specimen then
use the supernatant.
• In case of Hb S or C dilute the mixture in 1:1 ratio with
D.W. then read in colorimeter.
• In case of abnormal globins, add 0.1g of potassium
carbonate to the solution.

Normal ranges of Hb
1. Female: 12–16 g/dL (7.4–9.9 mmol/L SI units)
2. Males: 13–18 g/dL (8.1–11.2 mmol/L SI units)
3. Pregnancy: Decreased (dilutional)
4. Elderly: Slightly decreased
5. Newborn: Increased
Please note that:
• Normal range for females is (120 – 160 g/L) and for
males (130 – 180 g/L)
19. 18
Decreased Hb
Sever Hemorrhage
Systemic diseases (e.g. leukemia, lymphoma,
uremia, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism,
carcinomatosis and systemic lupus
erythematosus)
Haemolysis due to transfusion of
incompatible blood, reactions to
chemicals and drugs, bacteraemia, and
artificial heart valves

Less than one-third of the total cell volume.
24. Quality control
23
1. If the patient’s specimen running in automated
machine there are 3 levels controls should be run.
2. While if its running by manual method; send patient’s
specimen to the reference laboratory; and perform
duplicate testing in your own lab.
3. All personnel performing Hb should be checked for
color blindness (Sahli’s Method).
25. 24
Abnormal results
1. Leaving the tourniquet in place for more than 1 minute during the
procedure will result in hemoconcentration.
2. False increases may occur with lipemic samples and when leukocytosis
is present.
3. Individuals living in high altitudes have increased hemoglobin results.
4. Smokers have increased hemoglobin levels.
5. Hemolysis of the sample can alter test results.
6. Drugs which may increase hemoglobin level: gentamicin, methyldopa.
7. Drugs which may decrease hemoglobin level: antibiotics, antineoplastic
agents, apresoline, aspirin, indomethacin, MAO inhibitors, primaquine,
rifampin, sulfonamides.
