Listen to Dr. William Callaghan describe the findings from a 2006 CDC study on the contribution of preterm birth to infant mortality rates in the United States.omen who conceived through ART are at higher risk for preterm birth, primarily because they are more likely to be pregnant with more than one baby at a time. More detailed information on ART cycles and preterm birth can be found in the CDCâs 2011 Assisted Reproductive Technology Report.
What is high mono on blood test mean? Howard, welcome to Answers! The term for a high blood circulating number of the white blood cells named monocytes is monocytosis. Monocytosis is an increase in the number of monocytes in the peripheral bloodstream. Various limits are given (e.g., a total number in excess of 800/mm3, regardless of the percentage, or a total greater than 8% with the total number less than 800).
For example, if monocytes are elevated because of an inflammation caused by a viral infection, the patient would be given medication to kill the virus and bring down the inflammation. Typically, when a monocyte count is requested, the lab will also run other tests on the blood to generate a complete picture. The normal values can vary widely, making it important for patients to discuss the results of blood tests with doctors, rather than trying to puzzle them out on their own.
