I'm still not great at identifying but could this be a myelocyte? I know the picture isn't great 🥲

High TIBC and High Serum Iron

I have a patient with these results (I’m a student) I’m having trouble trying to interpret them because I understand that when the serum iron or ferritin get High TIBC should be low. Also no recent IV iron or transfusion, pt on oral iron. Why would serum and TIBC be elevated?

Blood clotting factor deficiency question

I have factor XII deficiency (Hageman factor deficiency) and was wondering if I can still donate blood. I live in Canada. I haven't gotten into contact with a hematologist yet but I want to know if my blood would still be usable for other people. Thanks for any information!

Blood Type Question

This may be a silly question, but my wife and I are curious…. Our family represents all the negative blood types. I’m B negative my wife is A negative , my son is O negative and my daughter is AB negative. Is that super rare? Again… maybe silly… we just think it’s neat.

A - du + (or A +)

Explain it to me like I’m 5…. the Hospital typed me as A - du + but the Red Cross says A+. What’s the difference?

Biomed student here: Can someone tell me if this is a neutrophil or a monocyte? My lecturer said it is a monocyte but I don't see how.

What exactly are dohle bodies and toxic granulation?

I'm reading MDS, and came across dohle bodies and toxic granulations. My professor just mentioned the terms and showed us a ppt, without going into much detail. I tried googling, but didn't find any thing of substance. Could someone please explain these terms to me and mechanism as to why they are seen in MDS?

For hemophilia with inhibitor, why does factor VIIa as treatment considering you don’t have a VII deficiency to begin with?

These are the capillary smears a hematologist nicely asked us to review. She said she knows how to do them. Oooof
