The Iberians (Latin: HibÄrÄ«, from Greek: Î¯Î²Î·ÏÎµÏ, Iberes) were a set of peoples that Greek and Roman sources (among others, Hecataeus of Miletus, Avienus, Herodotus and Strabo) identified with that name in the eastern and southern coasts of the Iberian peninsula, at least from the 6th century BC.
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation.
When a sed rate is performed, the blood sample is placed in a tall, thin, vertical tube. The test measures how fast the erythrocytes (red cells) settle in one hour. The result is reported as millimeters per hourâthat is, millimeters of plasma on top of the sediment of red cells.
