Possible Effects of Synaptic Imbalances on Oligodendrocyte–Axonic Interactions in Schizophrenia: A Hypothetical Model [PDF]
A model of glial-neuronal interactions is proposed that could be explanatory for the demyelination identified in brains with schizophrenia. According to this model, receptors on astrocytes in glial-neuronal synaptic units are not functional, loosing ...

COMPARISON OF LED VALUE FROM WESTERGREN METHOD WITH OPTICAL METHOD IN PJN HARAPAN KITA JAKARTA
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a test of the rate at which erythrocytes settle in the plasma of a blood sample. Technical innovation in ESR inspection has greatly developed from semi-automatic to automatic methods. This research uses an experimental method which aims to determine the difference between the average ESR value of the Westergren ...

COMPARISON OF AUTOMATIC STARRSED RS ERYTHROCYTE SEDIMENTATION RATE WITH MANUAL WESTERGREN METHOD [PDF]
This study aimed to compare the results of ESR measurements using Starrsed RS (30- and 60-minute mode) and manual Westergren method. We also investigate the effect of high leukocytes and haematocrit (Ht) on Starrsed RS ESR measurements. A cross-sectional study using K3EDTA anticoagulated blood samples from 140 subjects were conducted.
