The problem is that most of the heat transfer in an oven is radiant, so a transparent liquid in a transparent dish is going to get very little heat transfer. Though the air is transparent as well, it need much less heat to get to temperature than water does. One option is to use a non-transparent dish.
The emergency treatment of polycythemia (e.g., in hyperviscosity or thrombosis) is by venesection, the removal of blood from the circulation. Depending on the underlying cause, venesection may also be used on a regular basis to reduce the red blood cell count.
But in polycythemia vera, your bone marrow makes too many of some blood cells. The mutation that causes polycythemia vera is thought to affect a protein switch that tells the cells to grow. Specifically, it's a mutation in the protein Janus kinase 2 (JAK2). Most people with polycythemia vera have this mutation. The cause of the mutation isn't known, but it's generally not inherited. Risk factors. Polycythemia vera can occur at any age, but it's more common in adults older than 60. Complications. Possible complications of polycythemia vera include: Blood clots.
