The sedimentation rate -- or âsed rate,â for short -- is a blood test that checks for inflammation in your body. Itâs one clue for your doctor that you might have a disease linked to inflammation, like arthritis or cancer. The sed rate test measures how fast red blood cells fall to the bottom of a tube. Inflammation creates proteins that make red blood cells fall more quickly. Another name for this test is erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Red blood cells are called erythrocytes.
Status symbol is also a sociological term â as part of social and sociological symbolic interactionism â relating to how individuals and groups interact and interpret various cultural symbols.
The pound sign or hashtag is visually represented by the symbol â # â, and by placing the symbol in front of a word (or series of words) on a social network, it will turn that word into a metadata tag.thers use hashtags on other Social Media platforms such as Facebook to emphasise a point or to be ironically humorous, but this is technically pointless as the metadata tag function does not work on these other platforms.
