4,500-10,000 white blood cells per microliter (mcL) is a normal white count.

Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

A low number of WBCs is called leukopenia. It may be due to:

  • Bone marrow failure (for example, due to infection, tumor, or abnormal scarring)
  • Collagen-vascular diseases (such as lupus erythematosus)
  • Disease of the liver or spleen
  • Radiation therapy or exposure

Hope this helps :)

Then you should talk to your doctor about the reasons for this, as there are many, and some are innocuous (e.g. lab error, minor infection) while others may be indicators of life-threatening diseases (e.g., leukemia, major infection). There are also other indicators within a CBC (complete blood count) that may point to one thing vs. another. Your doctor may order a MANUAL differential count of the types of white blood cells (as opposed to the standard AUTOMATED differential). Your doctor may also order a blood smear and further testing, but it all depends on symptoms that you would discuss with your doctor, signs that your doctor would find during physical exam, and other parts of the blood count, among other blood work which might have been ordered.

My white cell count hovers between 1.6 and 1.7. Chemotherapy did this to me. I am fine most of the time but I have to look out for bacterial infections. If I cut my skin, tripple antibiotic ointment goes on it. If I catch a virus I have to be very careful that a secondary infection doesn't start.

If your white blood cell count is 11.9, the doctor might order additional tests to find out why it is slightly elevated. Your body might be fighting off some sort of infection.

What is the temperature of the desert biome?

There are over 2 dozen major desert areas in the world and each has its own climate statistics. Besides that factor, the answer would depend upon the time of day and season of the year. The temperature could range from as cold as -130 degrees F in Antarctica to +134 degrees in the Mojave Desert.

How many decibels does it take to bust eardrum?

It's not the watts, it's a high sound pressure deviation we measure as sound pressure level (SPL). The threshold of pain is known in acoustics as the lowest strength of a stimulus that is perceived by the ear as painful. Because of the different sensitivity of the hearing of people it cannot be given an accurate value. You can find the following rounded values for threshold of pain in various audio articles and books: 140 dB equivalent to SPL 200 Pa 137.5 dBSPL equivalent to 150 Pa 134 dBSPLequivalent to 100 Pa 130 dBSPL equivalent to 63 Pa 120 dBSPL equivalent to 20 Pa Sound pressure levels more than 140 dB will burst your eardrums.


How many ATP do you get from one 20 carbon fatty acid?

Cycles of B-oxidation are (n/2)-1 for FADH2 and NADH. Cycles for Acetyl-CoA are (n/2). Multiply by ATP equivalents:1.5 per FADH2, 2.5 per NADH by 2.5, and 10 per Acetyl-CoA. Subtract 2 ATP from the final answer.Palmitic acid (16 carbons):7 FADH2, 7 NADH, 8 Acetyl-CoA(7*1.5)+(7*2.5)+(8*10)=108 ATP108 - 2 = 106 ATP (net).Stearic acid (18 carbons):8 FADH2, 8 NADH, 9 Acetyl-CoA(8*1.5)+(8*2.5)+(9*10)=122 ATP122 - 2 = 120 ATP (net).Arachidic acid (20 carbons):9 FADH2, 9 NADH, 10 Acetyl-CoA(9*1.5)+(9*2.5)+(10*10)=136 ATP136 - 2 = 134 ATP (net).


How does the treatment pasteurisation work?

Pasteurization is a process of heating a food, usually liquid, to a specific temperature for a definite length of time, and then cooling it immediately. This process slows microbial growth in food. The process was named after its creator, French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur. The first pasteurization test was completed by Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard on April 20, 1864. The process was originally conceived as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring.[1]Pasteurization aims to reduce the number of viable pathogens so they are unlikely to cause disease (assuming the pasteurized product is stored as indicated and consumed before its expiration date). Commercial-scale sterilization of food is not common because it adversely affects the taste and quality of the product. Certain food products, like dairy products, are superheated to ensure toxic microbes are destroyed.
