(c) hereditary spherocytosis
(d) diamond-blackfan anemia

A clinical laboratory professional performs a manual reticulocyte count using the Miller disk and observes 83 reticulocytes (square A) in 214 erythrocytes (square B). Which of the following conditions is associated with this reticulocyte count?

(A) Megaloblastic anemia

(B) Beta thalassemia minor

(C) Hereditary spherocytosis

(D) Diamond-Blackfan anemia

Explanation:

Reticulocytes are red blood cells that have not reached full maturity. They are found in high levels in the blood plasma because of some anemias, when the body increases the production of red blood cells and sends them to the bloodstream before they are mature, usually representing 0.5-1.5% of the count of red blood cells, but may exceed 4% when they compensate for anemia.  Megaloblastic anemia is a problem in which there are not enough red blood cells or hemoglobin.

The answer is: (A) megaloblastic anemia.

the more fit you are, the faster the recovery. your heart rate drops most sharply in the first minute after you stop exercising; it should then fall about 20 beats a minute—a drop of less than 12 beats a minute is considered abnormal. this “recovery heart rate” is measured as part of an exercise stress test.

no, because those are both different running competitions. while distance runners train their legs and their lungs to run long amounts of time, the sprinters are training their legs and their lungs to give all they have in the little amount of area they need to cover. the brain also plays a huge part in all of this.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
