Someone with an irrational love of, or fetish for, weaponry (especially firearms). From the Greek hoplon meaning armaments, and philia meaning love or intense friendship. Watch out for that weird guy with the NRA Sticker on his 4x4, he looks like he might be a hoplophile!
As with platelets, neutrophil levels may become depressed in patients on myelosuppressive therapy such as imatinib mesylate (also called IM, Gleevec or Glivec). The normal range of the percentage of neutrophils is between 45% and 70%.More important than the percentage of neutrophils is the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) , which should fall between 1.0 to 8.0 k/ul.s with platelets, neutrophil levels may become depressed in patients on myelosuppressive therapy such as imatinib mesylate (also called IM, Gleevec or Glivec). The normal range of the percentage of neutrophils is between 45% and 70%.
Neutropenia (noo-troe-PEE-nee-uh) is an abnormally low level of neutrophils. Neutrophils are a common type of white blood cell important to fighting off infections â particularly those caused by bacteria. For adults, counts of less than 1,500 neutrophils per microliter of blood are considered to be neutropenia. For children, the cell count indicating neutropenia varies with age. Some people have lower-than-average neutrophil counts, but not an increased risk of infection.
