So American Sniper didn't win so much at the Oscars but it's already won the box office and director Clint Eastwood had a new beauty on his arm to compensate. Eastwood, 84, and seemingly undimmed by time, arrived at the 87th Academy Awards Sunday night accompanied by Christina Sandera, tapped as his new girlfriend. 1  Although US Weekly reported the new woman in his life last summer, the Oscar ceremony was the first official event the two attended as a couple.
All rights reserved. Blood is a constantly circulating fluid providing the body with nutrition, oxygen, and waste removal. Blood is mostly liquid, with numerous cells and proteins suspended in it, making blood thicker than pure water. The average person has about 5 liters (more than a gallon) of blood. A liquid called plasma makes up about half of the content of blood. Plasma contains proteins that help blood to clot, transport substances through the blood, and perform other functions.
The portion of the hemoglobin molecule that can bind to oxygen includes iron, so the capacity to transport oxygen is dependent on the blood iron levels. Normal hemoglobin levels for an adult woman is 12-16 gr/dl. Hematocrit levels are a percentage of cells to plasma or the liquid portion of blood.Normal hematocrit levels are 38-46% for women. Other blood testing is usually performed prior to giving birth.he baby's cord blood is collected from the umbilical cord right after birth. Postpartum lab tests following childbirth include cord blood testing. The components of this test include a blood type and direct coombs. This test is done when there is a possibility of incompatible blood type with the mother.
