  2. Toxic granulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_granulation

    Toxic granules are mainly composed of peroxidase and acid hydrolase enzymes, [3] and are similar in composition to the primary granules found in immature granulocytic cells like promyelocytes. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Although normal, mature neutrophils do contain some primary granules, the granules are difficult to identify by light microscopy because they ...

  3. Granulocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulocyte

    There are four types of granulocytes (full name polymorphonuclear granulocytes): [3] Basophils; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Mast cells; Except for the mast cells, their names are derived from their staining characteristics; for example, the most abundant granulocyte is the neutrophil granulocyte, which has neutrally staining cytoplasmic granules.

  4. Toxic vacuolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_vacuolation

    Toxic vacuolation is associated with sepsis, particularly when accompanied by toxic granulation. [4] The finding is also associated with bacterial infection, [3] alcohol toxicity, liver failure, [4] and treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, a cytokine drug used to increase the absolute neutrophil count in patients with neutropenia.

  5. Döhle bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Döhle_bodies

    Döhle bodies are light blue-gray, oval, basophilic, leukocyte inclusions located in the peripheral cytoplasm of neutrophils.They measure 1–3 μm in diameter. Not much is known about their formation, but they are thought to be remnants of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

  6. Granulopoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulopoiesis

    The master regulator of steady state granulopoiesis is C/EBPα. It restricts the cell cycle of immature cells by inhibition of CDK2 and CDK4 and promotes granulocytic differentiation. [14] Steady state production of granulocytes is activated after the engulfment of apoptotic granulocytes by tissue macrophages. [15]

  7. Leukocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukocytosis

    The proportion of immature leukocytes increases due to proliferation and inhibition of granulocyte and monocyte precursors in the bone marrow which is stimulated by several products of inflammation including C3a and G-CSF. Although it may indicate illness, leukocytosis is considered a laboratory finding instead of a separate disease.

    Vivian Health examines five trends that could redefine nurses' roles, enhance patient care, and alter the entire healthcare system in 2025 and beyond.

  9. Band cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_cell

    An increase in the number of these immature neutrophils in circulation can be indicative of an infection for which they are being called to fight against, or some inflammatory process. The increase of band cells in the circulation is called bandemia and is a "left shift" process.
