The conduction velocity of the ulnar, median and peroneal nerves was studied from birth to adult age in normal infants, children and adolescents. The method allowed measurements of the conduction velocity of the thickest and fastest conducting motor nerve fibres. In newborns the conduction velocity of all 3 nerves was roughly half of that of adults. The value for the ulnar nerve increased rapidly during the first 3 years. After that age it rose only slightly and between adolescence and adult age there was a significant reduction. The value for the median nerve increased
Low blood counts can have many causes, including vitamin deficiencies, bleeding, and rare bone marrow failure diseases like aplastic anemia, MDS and PNH. If your blood tests are abnormal, your doctor may do other blood tests or take a sample of your bone marrow to find out why.
1 Leukopenia-a decrease in the total number of white blood cells (WBC), which may lead to low white blood cell count. 2  Neutropenia-a decrease in the number of neutrophils, one type of white blood cell, which may lead to low white blood cell count.lood cells; red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are made by the bone marrow. These blood cells divide quickly. Chemotherapy may lead to low blood counts, causing the possibility of a variety of symptoms. The symptoms depend on the type of low blood cell count.
