The present volume is a timely collection, as both context sensitivity and semantic minimalism are hot topics in current philosophy of language and linguistics, especially in the border dispute between semantics and pragmatics.
A reticulocyte test is used to determine the number and/or percentage of reticulocytes in the blood to help evaluate conditions that affect red blood cells (RBCs), such as anemia or bone marrow disorders. Reticulocytes are newly produced, relatively immature red blood cells.
Reticulocyte Count Reviewed by It is useful to know the reticulocyte count in infants who were born prematurely if the haemoglobin is low and at about the level at which one might consider transfusion. If the reticulocyte count is high suggesting the infant is actively making red cells, one might defer transfusion unless there were other special reasons for proceeding. The reticulocyte count may be expressed as an absolute number or as a percentage of the red blood cells. To convert number of reticulocytes to % Divide absolute reticulocyte count (reticulocytes x 10 9 /L) by 10; Then divide the answer by the red blood cell count (RBC x 10 12 /L) Normal Range for Reticulocyte Counts
