[Automation in hematology (author's transl)]. 1978

J L Binet

A special meeting of the French Hematological Society, held on October 4 and 5, 1976, was devoted to automation in hematology. Six topics were discussed: description of the apparatus and discussion of the results of hemostasis (ELECTRA 600 D, COAGULOMETER, COAG A PET, THROMBOLAB and AUTO FI DADE); automation in blood group determination (Technicon auto-analyzer, Groupamatic MG 50, and picture analysis by the QTM 720); automatic differential white cell counts with presentation of and results obtained with the HEMA-LOG D, CORNING LARC, GEOMETRIC DATA, HEMATRAK and PERKIN ELMER DIFF 3 systems; the value of cell volume analysis in the study of red blood cells, platelets, normal lymphocytes, lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and blast cells; contribution of new picture analysis apparatus in the study of fibrosis and bone marrow insufficiency; the place of automation in laboratory management.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007753	Laboratories	Facilities equipped to carry out investigative procedures.	Laboratory
D007945	Leukemia, Lymphoid	Leukemia associated with HYPERPLASIA of the lymphoid tissues and increased numbers of circulating malignant LYMPHOCYTES and lymphoblasts.	Leukemia, Lymphocytic,Lymphocytic Leukemia,Lymphoid Leukemia,Leukemias, Lymphocytic,Leukemias, Lymphoid,Lymphocytic Leukemias,Lymphoid Leukemias
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D001792	Blood Platelets	Non-nucleated disk-shaped cells formed in the megakaryocyte and found in the blood of all mammals. They are mainly involved in blood coagulation.	Platelets,Thrombocytes,Blood Platelet,Platelet,Platelet, Blood,Platelets, Blood,Thrombocyte
D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
