An invaluable resource of health information.
Health Encyclopedia

A complete blood count (CBC) test measures the following:
- The number of red blood cells (RBCs)
- The number of white blood cells (WBCs)
- The total amount of hemoglobin in the blood
- The fraction of the blood composed of red blood cells (hematocrit)
- The size of the red blood cells (mean corpuscular volume, or MCV)
The CBC test also provides specific information the size and hemoglobin content of individual red blood cells. This is determined from the additional following measurements:
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH)
- Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC)
The platelet count is also usually included in the CBC.
See also:
- Alternative Names
Complete blood count
- How the test is performed
Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
- How to prepare for the test
There is no special preparation needed.
- How the test will feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, though most people feel only a prick or a stinging sensation. Afterward there may be some throbbing or bruising.
- Why the test is performed
The CBC test may be performed under many different conditions and in the assessment of many different diseases. It is a screening test used to diagnose and manage numerous diseases. The results can reflect problems with fluid volume (such as dehydration) or loss of blood. The test can reveal problems with red blood cell production and destruction, or help diagnose infection, allergies, and problems with blood clotting.
MCV, MCH, and MCHC values reflect the size and hemoglobin concentration of individual cells, and are useful in diagnosing different types of anemia.
- Normal Values
- RBC (varies with altitude):
- Male: 4.7 to 6.1 million cells/mcL
- Female: 4.2 to 5.4 million cells/mcL
- WBC: 4,500 to 10,000 cells/mcL
- Hematocrit (varies with altitude):
- Male: 40.7 to 50.3 %
- Female: 36.1 to 44.3 %
- Hemoglobin (varies with altitude):
- Male: 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL
- Female: 12.1 to 15.1 gm/dL
- MCV: 80 to 95 femtoliter
- MCH: 27 to 31 pg/cell
- MCHC: 32 to 36 gm/dL
(cells/mcL = cells per microliter; gm/dL = grams per deciliter; pg/cell = picograms per cell)
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
- RBC (varies with altitude):
- What abnormal results mean
High numbers of RBCs or a high hematocrit may be due to:
- Dehydration (such as from severe diarrhea)
- Kidney disease with high erythropoietin production
- Low oxygen level in the blood:
- Congenital heart disease
- Cor pulmonale
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Polycythemia vera
- Smoking
Low numbers of RBCs or low hematocrit indicates anemia, which can result from:
- Autoimmune/collagen-vascular diseases such as lupus erythematosus or rheumatoid arthritis
- Blood loss (hemorrhage)
- Bone marrow failure (for example, from radiation, infection, or tumor)
- Erythropoietin deficiency (secondary to kidney disease)
- Hemolysis (red blood cell destruction)
- Leukemia
- Malnutrition (nutritional deficiencies of iron, folate, vitamin B12, or vitamin B6)
- Multiple myeloma
A lower-than-normal white blood cell count is called leukopenia. A decreased WBC may be due to:
- Autoimmune/collagen-vascular diseases (such as lupus erythematosus)
- Bone marrow failure (for example, due to infection, tumor, radiation, or fibrosis)
- Disease of the liver or spleen
High numbers of WBCs is called leukocytosis. It can result from:
- Infectious diseases
- Inflammatory disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or allergy)
- Leukemia
- Severe emotional or physical stress
- Tissue damage (such as burns)
Low hemoglobin values may indicate:
- Anemia (various types)
- Blood loss
- What the risks are
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
- Special considerations
RBCs transport hemoglobin which, in turn, carries oxygen. The amount of oxygen received by body tissues depends on the amount and function of RBCs and hemoglobin.
WBCs are mediators of inflammation and the immune response. There are various types of WBCs that normally appear in the blood:
- Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes)
- Band cells (slightly immature neutrophils)
- T-type lymphocytes (T cells)
- B-type lymphocytes (B cells)
- Monocytes
- Eosinophils
- Basophils

I love wfsb and the app is okay but when you get a breaking news update and click on it there is no link to the story and the story isn't there to read even if you search for it. Please fix this! !
(61 stars)
After I installed the update I realized they changed everything about this app. The layout is horrible and it runs slow
(61 stars)
I love the app but one thing that I think needs to be fixed is when I get a breaking news notification I tap on it from my status bar and I can't read what is happening.
(61 stars)
It's easy and faster !!!!! Like it a lot thanks WFSB 3
(61 stars)
None of the video works. Just says "we'll be right back". Has been doing this for a while even before this update.
(61 stars)
The pictures dont enlarge when you click on them. That's definitely annoying. Also, I have turned off the notifications multiple times and I keep getting them. Not to mention when you click on the notifications, the app does not open and nothing happens.
(61 stars)
I would love this app if when it sent me a notification it actually brought me to the story. When ever I get a notification on my phone that looks interesting I try to click on it and the story is NEVER there. Brings me to home page where there's no mention anywhere of the story or alert I saw. And don't believe the "watch live news and replays" link either, always just says we'll be right back ev

Chocolate Chip Scones.
Melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip scones. Tender and moist inside with a slight crunch on the edges, these buttery scones are sure to please even the pickiest eaters!
We're headed home today, leaving with a ton of exciting Colorado vacation memories, like seeing this beautiful view of the world at 14,043 feet high.
(Mount Sherman in Fairplay, CO.)
Time to face reality, the 3 month wedding countdown, bridal showers, dress fittings, workouts, a big move to Philadelphia, and all of the other craziness summer brings.
I'll need another spa day (or 5) during all this madness.
Question: how do you stay calm and composed when life gets a little overwhelming? I need all the advice I can get this summer!
Before the trip, I made two batches of strawberry lemon scones and today's scones. The two recipes start with the same basic ratio of ingredients, with only a few changes. I have many more ideas for different varieties of scones, too.
I'm officially the crazy scone making lady these days. Don't send help.
I told you before that I've never really been a fan of scones. Too dry, too bland, too boring! It wasn't until recently that I realized scones have the potential to be nothing short of amazing. Find the right recipe (or bakery to do it for you) and you'll have tender, moist, melt-in-your mouth pastry goodness.
Please take a moment to read through a few chocolate chip scone MUSTS.
Through my endless scone testing the other week, I learned that I much prefer a scone made with frozen butter compared to just cold butter. Why? It's imperative to use cold butter in this scone recipe because when the little crumbs of butter melt as the scone bakes, they release steam and create little pockets of air – this makes the scones a little airy on the inside while remaining flaky and crisp on the outside.
Cold butter isn't good enough for my scones, it must be frozen.
You can shred the frozen butter with a grater or process a couple times in your food processor. I use 8 Tablespoons (1 stick; 115 grams) in my scone recipe, which gives the scones that incredibly tender, rich texture and buttery taste.
The trick to a plate of light-textured scones:
Avoid over working the dough. After the flour/butter mixture resembles coarse crumbs then it is time to add your wet ingredients: egg, heavy cream, vanilla. The vanilla gives flavor and the cream adds SO much moisture! Don't think about substituting the cream. Gently add these ingredients in and mix very gently together. When you overmix a dough it will over develop the gluten making it tough. Trust me, you don't want that.
My chocolate chip scone recipe is sweetened with brown sugar, not white sugar. If there is an opportunity to use brown sugar, I do. It is by far my most favorite ingredient in the kitchen. Its slight molasses flavor pairs wonderfully with all the chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, and buttery flavors inside each bite.
I compare these scones to a chocolate chip muffin, only less cakey and a little more dense. The centers are soft and tender, the edges are slightly crunchy, and there is so much chocolate in every bite. That's why I use mini chocolate chips – more bang for your buck!
I do not glaze my chocolate chip scones because I feel it would take away from the brown sugar, cinnamon goodness. I do top them with a little coarse sugar before going into the oven and a very light dusting of confectioners' sugar after baking. You'll love the slight crunch the coarse sugar adds on top, so don't leave it out. But the confectioners' sugar is optional– trust me, these scones are amazing served warm and plain with a giant mug of steamy coffee, hot chocolate, chai tea, etc.
Creamy and tender, it is impossible to only eat one!
Chocolate Chip Scones
Melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip scones. Tender and moist inside with a slight crunch on the edges, these buttery scones are sure to please even the pickiest eaters!
Yield: 8 scones
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour (careful not to overmeasure)
- 1/2 cup (100g) light or dark brown sugar
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 Tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter, frozen
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 heaping cup (180g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips*
- coarse sugar for sprinkling on top before baking
- confectioners' sugar for topping after baking (optional)
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Adjust baking rack to the middle-low position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Grate the frozen butter (I used a box grater; a food processor also works - here is the one I own and love). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, your fingers, or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the cream, egg, and vanilla together. Drizzle it over the flour mixture and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Slowly and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Dough will be a little wet. Work the dough into a ball with floured hands as best you can and transfer to the prepared baking pan. Press into a neat 8″ disc and cut into equal wedges with a very sharp knife. Top with a sprinkle of additional mini chocolate chips (optional) and coarse sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Scones are best enjoyed right away, though leftover scones keep well at room temperature for 2 extra days. Scones freeze well, up to 3 months.
I adapted this recipe from a combination - both Tyler Florence and The Joy of Cooking.
*I prefer mini chocolate chips because you get more in every bite! Regular size is just fine, though you may want to increase the amount to 1 and 1/4 cups.

Those look so good, I have been through a very stressful month (moving temporarily, puttng half of everything in storage etc) and a very quick kundalini yoga set every morning and walking barefeet in the grass for 30 min. at least every other day was what got me through it. And of course small sets of meditation, listening to inspiring music and eating light and healthy whenever possible. Mostly stuff that came out of a blender (strawberry lassis saved me!). I think a chocolate cake I somehow managed to bake in between got us through the worst, too! I am looking forward to trying those scones now.
I made these over the weekend and they are delicious! I added the zest of an orange to mine (because I had some oranges I needed to use up) and used half orange extract and half vanilla extract. I WISH I had had mini chips but used regular sized semi sweet chips and it worked out fine…plenty of chocolate in each bite! I know I will be making these again and again…and again!
I store mine in the refrigerator – did the same with your Lemon Strawberry Poppyseed scones – and have had good luck eating on them for many days afterwards. Certainly not as good as fresh out of the oven but…sitting at my desk at work, it is a decadent treat I look forward to and enjoy.
Thanks SO much for the recipe! LOVE LOVE LOVE these!
This may sound like a weird question, but could I substitute cream cheese for the butter? I recently ran out and haven't gotten the chance to buy more yet, and I already have some packs of cream cheese sitting in the freezer. I'm not sure how it would effect the taste/texture of the scones, do you think it could work?
Thanks for this recipe! While waiting for my toddler to wake up this rainy morning, I was searching Pinterest and came across this recipe. All out of AP flour so took a gamble and used what I had on hand–organic whole wheat pastry flour. Looked up substitution chart which suggested to use an extra tbsp per cup of flour when subbing pastry for ap flour, ended up too dry so took another gamble and added an extra 1/4 cup of cream. Prayed the whole 25 minutes bake time. Turned out amazing. And enjoying with a cup of chai tea. Bliss!

To me, this is just average. It's not an awful mascara, but I find that it doesn't lengthen or add volume particularly well which would be fine if it was a cheap high street mascara but it's pretty expensive. I know some people would like it but I find the brush to be way too big, it's not at all convenient for use on the lower lashes. I wouldn't bother buying this again.
I don't remember the last time I've been this impressed by a mascara. This does everything it promises and more. I got this as a gwp and when I opened it and looked at the brush I thought to myself: "Oh oh Clump City here I come." However, I was pleasantly surprised as this did not clump or smudge or disappear, didn't make my lashes look like long spider legs. What's more this is not too dry or too wet, I can reapply during the day to build on it (which I really like doing) and my mascara still looks freshly applied. Great product.
I love love love this mascara, it makes my lashes longer and thicker, looks like false lashes. This is comparable to Lancome's Immencils (my all time favourite mascara which was discontinued). I will definitely purchase this once the sample size is finished.
P.S.: To avoid getting mascara on my upper lid while applying I simply tilt my head backward and let my eyelashes do all the work (eyelash pushups) works fine for me.

At first I wasn't a fan. The brush is huge! After the mascara dried out a little, it was easier to work with. After a week or so I started to like the brush.
I may buy this again, but I really like to try new things, so I'm not sure I will.
It thickened and lengthened my lashes nicely, but isn't my HG mascara.

Well, basically I have gone through about 3 bottles of this. I love this mascara. I mean it has its cons but mostly its pros.I use mascara nearly everyday and a bottle of this lasts me to about 2-4 months, which is really good for a nice mascara like this.
Gives you long and full eyelashes
Lasts all day
Easy to take off with make up remover
Doesn't smudge
A bit too pricey
Not waterproof :(
Don't like the packaging too much
But yeah I guess that's it xxx
Bad gal lash was the first high end mascara I bought. I love it! However, my only probably with the mascara is the amount of time it stays on. I'd say after about an hour it starts to thin and requires another layer. But, I find using illegal lengths mascara by maybelline as a base prevents this from happening. I love the volume and density it gives my lashes. Not sure whether I would buy again, but I do love it, and would recommend trying it out!
This product is pricey, but so so worth it. The full size tube is pretty generous. I always find myself straying and going for something else (silly me, thinking I can find something better) but then I always come back to Benefit!
With BadGal, my lashes stay thick, dark black, soft and separated. It lasts (in the package) for ever, and I've never had problems with flaking or anything like that.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Of all the mascaras I've tried, this is one of my favorites! I purchased it from Ulta on a whim when my Mac Haute and Naughty ran out, and I'm glad I did! I'm used to combining mascaras (ex Clump Crusher with Volume de Chanel) for length and volume. But I use this alone and my lashes are gorgeous! I love huge & obnoxious dramatic lashes, and this does just that. I curl them first, and then do several coats per eye. It doesn't clump easily and if I look up, my lashes touch my eyelids. (Always a good sign for me!) Great product, I will definitely repurchase.
So for years I always said I would never buy a high end mascara because there are awesome options available at the drugstore but at Sephora there was a little Benefit tester box that included this mascara, High Beam and their eye primer. Upon first use of this mascara I was IN LOVE. I love the way it separates and lengthens and thickens without being overly dramatic. It can be built up fairly easily if the brush is moved slow and the colour is jet black. LOVE! So after my sample ran out I quickly rushed to Shoppers Drugmart for the full size! I cringed at the price but I felt it was worth it. I used it every.single.day. And I have extreme combination skin so my t zone is very oily and so are my eyelids. NARS eye primer fixes that problem but I still found that by the end of the day under my eyes looked.... Grey and shadowy. So I thought maybe my under eye concealer was wearing off, so I tried not wearing concealer. Still, faced the same shadows. Then I tried not putting shadow or eyeliner on my lower lash line.. Still the same problem! And one day I just realized.. It's the mascara!! The way it applies is uh-mazing and it keeps curl quite well. But my oily skin makes it break down, and it is very upsetting because I really love this.. It was HG. So if you do not have particularly oily skin or eyelids I would seriously recommend even though the price is hefty! But oily skin/lid gals... I would stay away. It just doesn't last. :(
Wear waterproof mascara under it and I do not face this problem! YAY!! I've been using Maybelline's the Rocket Waterproof under this just a little bit. It doesn't look clumpy unless I pile on the Rocket. SUCH good news!!

I love this mascara although it is expensive. It makes my eyes look more awake and I love the false lash effect. It does not clump at all on the lashes, no matter how many coats you apply! It stays put all day long and I would recommend to anyone who wants long, full lashes!
read my review on my blog, http://blondiesbeautybag.blogspot.co.uk/
I use this after I use Benefit They're Real Mascara. As a mascara alone it's great. But when I want dramatic lashes I'll use Badgal along with They're Real.
The packaging is simple and nice. I prefer to purchase the mini version of this instead of the full size product.

Kim Kardashian Celebrates Birthday... in the Hospitalby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Let's give Kim Kardashian credit.
Sure, she's mostly famous for being railed on tape by Ray J and for posing naked in Playboy.
But the reality TV star does seem awfully grounded, especially when it comes to her relationship with Reggie Bush. Kim has spent all day today - her 28th birthday, no less! - in the hospital with her man. As Kim understandably says in her latest blog entry:
I immediately caught a plane to Alabama [following Bush's knee injury), where the best surgeons were to meet Reggie. He is recovering great and will be back on the field soon!
He's pretty bummed that the special birthday he planned in London couldn't happen, but as long as he is okay, I will have the best birthday ever!!!!
What do you think of Kim Kardashian's latest fashion statement?
Wow. She may be kinda (alot) slutty but she definitely has a heart. Any spoilt girl *cough* Paris Hilton! *cough* could've complained and asked for a giant birthday bash with or without but Kim, she spent her birthday in hospital because she wanted to be with her man. At least she's more different than the others.
I like her. She is gorgeous, with or without make-up =) People are so quick to judge her, nobody's perfect.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am an eighth grader at Denton right now and Denton is a fun school also the teachers try to help the students. We have spanish now and its ok now since we know how to do everything on the computers. To me, Denton(with all the mess and fights and drama) its getting you ready for what it is going to be like for you in high school. If you go to a private then youre going to grow up..a little to nice and preppy. You need to face reality because all schools have drama. But about Denton, the bad thing is, were to hype and some of us are focused on the wrong stuff. Also, because of the worst fights happening. But if you stay in the right group then youre good. Dont let em c u sweat. And be smart. Not stupid.
Wow! This is our second year at Denton. We are really impressed at how much better the kids are doing now. Denton just got a new principal, 4 new assistant principals, half new teachers, more teachers, more money, more technology, and more electives (Art, French, Music, Computer Applications, Sports etc). My daughter makes good grades and loves her Math and Art classes. When I visit I can see the improved leadership in the school and in the classroom. The teachers are more equipped to handle the kids with the smaller class sizes. The kids get help in their homerooms and free after-school tutoring! That leaves a lot more time for learning. With the new staff I don't have to worry about her safety. A word of advise to any parent that will be considering Denton. Choose this new Denton and your child will be part of the solution.
The school has new staff members this year.The school looks much cleaner and more controlled then last year
I think Denton is a good school it's just the kids. An i think that we should get more privileges to do and have more things. The first year i attened Denton it was great.Some people told me that it was a messy school.An i uselly get in to it with a lot of people but i did not.
Denton is the worst school in the county. I am a current student at Denton. I try my best in school all the time, but it's not enough. Learning is impossible student are disrespectful. Teachers don' care about the students either and when they act up they don't do nothing about it.
Disgusted! We moved to Mobile after school had started. We have never been at a school that has so much reverse racism and that the adminstration does nothing. My son had a A-B avg. at his last school but his grades have gone down to almost all D's, there is no leadership in the classroom. The teachers are not equipped to handle the nonsense that goes on in the classroom. 30 min of each class is used just to get the kids to quiet down. How much time does that leave for learning. Not enough! Even though I never saw less than two police officers at the school, I worried every day about his safety. There was a fight just about every day. A word of advise to any parent that will be considering Denton. Make another choice-move-home school do whatever you have to - to keep your child out of Denton.
This school has a whole new building now it needs a whole new staff.

Bread Loaf Bags, Pack of 50 Editorial Reviews: SynopsisSlice bread without the mess. The crumb catcher eliminates the mess. Achieve uniform slices using the acrylic slicing guide. The bread slicer is easy to assembly, clean and maintain. Amazon.comThis is an adequate no-frills manual bread slicer, and adequate is the operative word. The crumb catcher eliminates messes, making this slicer a much cleaner option than slicing bread on a cutting board. Also, you can achieve uniform 1/2-inch slices; the only caveat is that you can't adjust the slicer to cut any thicker or thinner. Use your longest serrated knife when cutting, because a knife that just barely spans the width of the slicing tray will keep slipping out of the acrylic slicing guides. The guides have no top support and tend to wobble a bit as you slice. They also have inexplicably high sides; you'd have to use triple the leavening to make bread that reaches the top of them. Despite its design limitations, the Norpro deluxe bread slicer is easy to assemble and maintain and has an attractive overall look. --Carol Gnojewski CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

FRANKFURT — Helmut Haller, who scored the first goal of the 1966 World Cup final and was one of the first Germans to play in Italy, died Thursday at his home in Augsburg after a long illness. He was 73.
Mr. Haller put Germany ahead in the 1966 World Cup final at Wembley Stadium, but England won the title 4-2 in extra time.
Franz Beckenbauer said Mr. Haller was one of the "best teammates I've ever had."
Mr. Haller, who had been in ill health for several years, won Italian championships with Bologna and Juventus.
German players will wear black armbands in the World Cup qualifier against Ireland later Friday and Mr. Haller will be honored before the match against Sweden on Tuesday.
Mr. Haller played 33 games for Germany and scored 13 goals.

Feldman's advice for entrepreneurs included scrutinizing business plans and seeking product simplicity.
David Clarke, CEO of BGT Partners, talked about creating a workplace culture that doesn't tolerate disengaged employees who are non-productive, negative, lazy and even toxic.
"They don't believe in your business, they are just there for the paycheck," Clarke said. "Do you literally work with someone who is sh-tting on your dream? ... Why don't you set them free?"
BGT, ranked by the Business Journal as the region's largest web design company, has seven Fortune 100 clients, Clarke said. Clients inlcude ADT, SeaWorld, NextEra Energy, Walmart, GE, Office Depot and Carnival Cruise Lines, which just rolled out a new website that involved BGT.
Clarke said his company's margins have averaged about 25 percent a year, and revenue has grown about 38 percent a year.
Clarke said BGT carefully screens employees, uses its new office space in Hallandale Beach to showcase the culture and has a full week of employee appreciation each year.
"We're often asked why we look the same," he said. "We hire people with common interests, attitudes, enegy backgrounds, vision, drive and smiles."
BGT also use a predictive index as part of the hiring pattern, said Clarke, who said the business cost of hiring a bad person earning a $100,000 salary is probably about $1 million.
Employees are given 200 hours a year for special projects, research and development, cross training and mentorship, he said. It's an outlet to take initiative and an opportunity to create, innovate, design, develop and optimize – "anything their heart desires be it work related," he said.
