Humans cannot drink saline water. But, saline water can be made into freshwater, which is the purpose of this portable, inflatable solar still (it even wraps up into a tiny package). The process is called desalination, and it is being used more and more around the world to provide people with needed freshwater. Most of the United States has, or can gain access to, ample supplies of fresh water for drinking purposes. But, fresh water can be in short supply in some parts of the country (and world).
Platelet count is the number of platelets in the blood. A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 350,000. If the number of platelets is too low, excessive bleeding can occur. The medical name for a low platelet count is thrombocytopenia (throm-bo-sigh-toe-PEE-nee-uh).
A low platelet count, medically known as thrombocytopenia, is a health disorder in which your blood has a lower than normal number of platelets. Platelets are the smallest of the blood cells that aid in blood clotting by forming plugs in blood vessel holes.The platelets circulate in the blood with an average lifespan of 5 to 9 days. A normal platelet count in a healthy person ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microlitre of blood.latelets are the smallest of the blood cells that aid in blood clotting by forming plugs in blood vessel holes.
