	Red blood cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen from the lungs or gills to body tissues via the blood.
		Red blood cells are also known as RBCs or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow", with cyte nowadays translated as "cell").
		Spherocytosis is a genetic disease that causes a defect in the red blood cell's cytoskeleton, causing the red blood cells to be small, sphere-shaped, and fragile instead of donut-shaped and flexible.

	American Red Cross Blood Services, New England Region, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont
		Red blood cells are called erythrocytes and deliver oxygen to the tissues and return carbon dixoide from the tissues to the lungs.
		Red cells are fully differentiated and do not require a nucleus to carry out the function of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide.
		A low red cell count is termed anemia and is often seen in patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer and in end-stage renal disease.

	Horse red blood cells
		The red cells have the larger percentage as there are usually 6-8 million/ml as against white cells of 6-8 thousand/ml.
		Horses with more of the less rigid cells will find it easier to move blood into the muscles and the lungs and so may be able to maintain greater period of stamina work than their more rigid cell competitors.
		A horse with 5% rigid cells would have a tremendous advantage, all else being equal, and this may be an area that explains why some horses are superior to their fellows.

	Red Cell Dehydration in Sickle Cell Disease
		Cells with a markedly increased Hb S concentration are a prominent feature of sickle cell disease, as a consequence of the loss of K, Cl and water from the erythrocyte.
		One of the distinguishing characteristics of sickle erythrocytes is the presence of cell dehydration.
		Cell age appears to be one determinant of K-Cl cotransport activity in human red cells, since the system is active almost exclusively in normal reticulocytes and not in normal mature red cells.

		Red Cell team members were expected to maintain their SEAL qualifications in diving, parachuting, and demolition.
		This type of activity was certainly not unique to Red Cell, however the frequency of its occurrence and numerous mishaps that resulted directly from drinking have frequently been pointed out as a failure in discipline and leadership by Naval Special Warfare and conventional military officers of all branches.
		Therefore, each scenario (as designed by Red Cell) had to first be approved by Admiral Lyons, then by the Vice Chief of Naval Operations and his staff, and finally by the Commander in Chief (CINC) of the theater in which the installation resided.

	Red Blood Cell Indices \| AHealthyMe.com
		Red blood cell indices are measurements that describe the size and oxygen-carrying protein (hemoglobin) content of red blood cells.
		Red blood cell indices are additional measurements of red blood cells based on the relationship of these three test results.
		Cells with a normal concentration of hemoglobin are called normochromic; cells with a lower than normal concentration are called hypochromic.

	Red blood cell Summary
		Red blood cells are suspended in plasma, which is the straw colored liquid part of the blood.
		Too many red blood cells is referred to as polycythemia and may occur as an adaptation to living in mountains to compensate for reduced oxygen in the air.
		Spherocytosis is a genetic disease that causes a defect in the red blood cell's cytoskeleton, causing the RBCs to be small, sphere-shaped, and fragile instead of donut-shaped and flexible.

	Sickle Cell Anemia
		Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder, characterized primarily by chronic anemia and periodic episodes of pain.
		This is the result of damage to the spleen from the sickled red cells which prevents the spleen from destroying bacteria in the blood.
		Pneumococcal infections used to be the principal cause of death in young children with sickle cell anemia until physicians began routinely giving penicillin on a preventive basis to infants who are identified at birth or in early infancy as having sickle cell anemia.

		Any of several lymphocytes (as a helper T cell) that differentiate in the thymus, possess highly specific cell-surface antigen receptors, and include some that control the initiation or suppression of cell-mediated and humoral immunity (as by the regulation of T and B cell maturation and proliferation) and others that lyse antigen-bearing cells.
		A large white blood cell with finely granulated chromatin dispersed throughout the nucleus that is formed in the bone marrow, enters the blood, and migrates into the connective tissue where it differentiates into a macrophage.
		Any of the hemoglobin-containing cells that carry oxygen to the tissues and are responsible for the red color of vertebrate blood -- called also erythrocyte, red blood corpuscle, red cell, red corpuscle.

		Each Year, nearly 6,000 units of red blood cells are needed in the NIH Clinical Center to treat patients undergoing cancer therapy, organ and tissue transplants and other diseases that require blood transfusions.
		Double red cell apheresis is a procedure that allows a donor to give two units of red cells at the same time.
		To remove red cells, a needle is placed in your arm and the blood flows into a sterile, disposable plastic kit installed in a machine designed specifically for this purpose.

	Red Cell Substitutes Enter Phase III Trials
		The modern era of development of red cell substitutes began in the 1960s with the discovery that if the toxic stroma of the hemoglobin molecule were removed, hemoglobin-based solutions would be safe.
		Five groups at the present time are testing other types of red cell substitutes in phase I, II, and III clinical investigations of sepsis, coronary artery bypass, and vascular surgery.
		Greenburg predicted that second generation hemoglobin-based red cell substitutes will have further modifications of the heme pocket, liposome composition and structure, and they will come from a variety of sources including plants, yeasts, bacteria, and transgenic animals.

		Red Teams or Red Cells are U.S. government parlance for teams or units designed to test the effectiveness of U.S. tactics or personnel.
		"Red Cell" was purported to be a U.S. Navy SEAL team which had been organized to attempt to infiltrate and otherwise test the security of U.S. military bases and other installations sensitive to U.S. security interests.
		While this was indeed a promotion for Admiral Lyons, Richard Marcinko, and as a result, Red Cell, lost their main defender in the Pentagon (Admiral Lyons often handled phone calls concerning the behavior of Red Cell as well as Marcinko).

	Scientists discover secret behind human red blood cell's amazing flexibility
		A human red blood cell is a dimpled ballerina, ceaselessly spinning, tumbling, bending, and squeezing through openings narrower than its width to dispense life-giving oxygen to every corner of the body.
		“Red cells are one of the few kinds of cells in the body with no nucleus and only a thin layer of protein skeleton under their membrane: they are living bags of hemoglobin,” said Amy Sung, a professor of bioengineering at UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering and coauthor of the study.
		Sung asked Skelton to collaborate on her red blood cell project because Skelton and his students have pioneered the development of rigorous scientific tools to analyze the movement and balance of forces in many types of tensegrity systems.

	eMedicine - Pure Red Cell Aplasia : Article Excerpt by: Paul Schick, MD
		Background: Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) describes a condition in which RBC precursors in bone marrow are nearly absent, while megakaryocytes and WBC precursors are usually present at normal levels.
		Injury to stem cells in utero is believed to be the etiology of approximately 90% of cases of congenital PRCA (ie, Diamond-Blackfan syndrome).
		The acute self-limited form is secondary to virus- and drug-induced impairment of erythroid progenitor cells.

		By doing this, the machine is able to double the amount of red cells it would normally collect in a standard blood donation.
