An increase in IGs of >2% can be a useful in identification of acute infection. Published studies have shown high specificity of IG count for infectious diseases but low sensitivity, precluding the use of such a count as a screening test for sepsis.
Three types of convergent boundaries are recognized: continentâcontinent, oceanâcontinent, and oceanâocean. Continentâcontinent convergence results when two continents collide. The continents were separated at one time by oceanic crust that was progressively subducted under one of the continents.
1 Divergent boundaries (Constructive) occur where two plates slide apart from each other. 2  At zones of ocean-to-ocean rifting, divergent boundaries form by seafloor spreading, allowing for the formation of new ocean basin.here the plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries. The lateral relative movement of the plates typically ranges from zero to 100 mm annually.
