volume, measure of solid content or capacity, usually expressed in units that are the cubes of linear units, such as cubic inches and cubic centimeters, or in units of dry and liquid measure, such as bushels, gallons, and liters. Volumes of complicated geometric forms are often calculated using integral calculus calculus, branch of mathematics that studies continuously changing quantities. The calculus is characterized by the use of infinite processes, involving passage to a limit —the notion of tending toward, or approaching, an ultimate value. .....

| When available, hemoglobin and mean corpuscular volume samples were evaluated to exclude megaloblastic anemia. We determined white and red blood cell counts; hemoglobin; hematocrit; mean corpuscular volume, hemoglobin, and hemoglobin concentration; red cell distribution width; platelet counts and volume; and neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, eosinophil, and basophil counts with a Bayer Advia 120 Hematology Analyzer (Bayer Diagnostics, Terrytown, NY). The Excyte Pro-Diff 5 is a fully-automated device used to count red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, measure hemoglobin and calculate or measure several red cell indices, including erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. |
