This type of MDS is similar to RAEB-1 except the bone marrow contains more blasts â between 10% and 20% of the bone marrow cells are blasts. The blood also contains more blasts: between 5 and 19% of the white blood cells in the blood are blasts.The blasts may contain Auer rods.he number of blasts (very early cells) in the bone marrow is less than 5% and none of the blasts contain Auer rods (an abnormality seen in some leukemia cells). Blasts are rare or absent in the blood. RCMD changes into leukemia in about 10% of patients. Having this type of MDS will shorten a personâs life.

The qualifier new is to contrast with the first wave of European colonization from the 15th to early 19th centuries or imperialism in general. In the first wave of colonization, the European powers had conquered and colonized the Americas and established outposts in Asia and Africa. During the era of New Imperialism, the Western powers (and Japan) conquered much of Asia and almost all of Africa. The new wave of imperialism reflected ongoing rivalries among the great powers, the economic desire for new resources and markets, and a civilizing mission ethos.
