The cell shown in this image is a myelocyte. Myelocytes typically have an eccentric nucleus with cytoplasm similar to a mature neutrophils with a slightly bluer tint due to the cell's immaturity.
Myelocytes have both primary and secondary granules present in the cytoplasm. The nucleus is less mature and therefore has a loose chromatin clumping pattern.
Identify the cell in this illustration indicated by the arrow:
Myoglobin rises typically within 2-4 hours after a myocardial infarction and stay elevated for days, with a peak at the 6-9-hour mark post-MI. After myoglobin, troponin is the next fastest to rise afer a mycardial infarction and can rise within 3-4 hours with a peak around 12 hours post-MI. LD (8-12 hours, 24-48 hour peak) and CK (4-6 hours with peak at 24-36 hours) will also rise after MI, but are not as fast to rise as myoglobin and troponin.
Chemistry
A patient is admitted to the hospital with acute chest pain, but which of the following cardiac markers will be elevated FIRST if the patient had an MI?
Allergic reactions, bacterial/viral meningitis do not cause the presence of blasts to be noted in the CSF.
Leukemia with CNS involvement will show immature cells, similarly to the peripheral blood smear.
The image is a stained smear of cerebrospinal fluid. The cells present in this field may indicate what condition?
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa is integral in the process of platelet aggregation as well as clot retraction.
A defective clot retraction might be caused by which one of these?
