| | British Journal of Biomedical Science: Effect of cell washing on erythrocyte sodium concentration in human hypertensive ... |
| | Using a technique in which erythrocyte Na+ concentration is measured without cell washing and within one minute of obtaining the blood sample, Simon and Conklins found reduced erythrocyte Na+ concentrations in hypertensive subjects. | | | Using the direct erythrocyte Na+ method, erythrocyte Na+ concentrations were significantly higher in hypertensive subjects compared with those in normotensive subjects; however, no significant difference was seen when the cell-washing method was used (Table 1). | | | Our main finding was significantly higher erythrocyte Na+ concentrations in hypertensive subjects, using the direct method of Simon and Engel, compared with similar concentrations in normotensive and hypertensive subjects when the traditional cell-washing method was used. |

| | Details may change and may indeed be presented differently in textbooks and review articles that you happen across. | | | Even when the last questions about the structure and function of the erythrocyte membrane are answered, the model will remain useful as a starting point in the study of other more complex cytoskeletal systems. | | | Since details of the organization of the erythrocyte cytoskeleton are still to be worked out, the cartoon presented here must be considered only a working model. |

| | Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) can also be used to assess response to therapy in certain inflammatory diseases such as temporal arteritis, polymyalgia rheumatica, rheumatoid arthritis. | | | It can also be used as a crude measure of response in Hodgkin's disease. | | | The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), also called a sedimentation rate, sed rate or Biernacki Reaction, is a non-specific measure of inflammation that is commonly used as a medical screening test. |

| | The diameter of a typical human erythrocyte is 6–8 µm; they are thus much smaller than most other human cells. | | | Erythrocytes are continuously being produced in the red bone marrow of large bones. | | | Erythrocytes in mammals are anucleate when mature, meaning that they don't have a cell nucleus and thus no DNA. |

| | Although it is a screening test (not considered diagnostic for any particular disorder), it is useful in detecting and monitoring tuberculosis, tissue necrosis (death), rheumatologic disorders, or an otherwise unsuspected disease in which symptoms are vague or physical findings are minimal. | | | ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) is a nonspecific screening test for various diseases. | | | The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) can be used to monitor inflammatory or malignant disease, rheumatic fever, and heart attack. |

| | As the LBR kinase and the 34-kDa component have been recently characterized, we now proceed in the characterization of p18. | | | Employing avian erythrocytes, we have previously isolated a multimeric complex consisting of the lamin B receptor (LBR, or p58), the nuclear lamins, an LBR-specific kinase, a 34-kDa protein, and an 18-kDa polypeptide termed p18. | | | We show here that p18 is an integral membrane protein specific to the erythrocyte nuclear envelope which binds to LBR and B-type lamins. |
