The dire wolf (Canis dirus, fearsome dog) is an extinct species of the genus Canis. It is perhaps one of the most famous prehistoric carnivores in North America along with its extinct competitor Smilodon, the sabre-toothed cat.
It is important they remain at adequate levels. As with platelets, neutrophil levels may become depressed in patients on myelosuppressive therapy such as imatinib mesylate (also called IM , Gleevec or Glivec ). The normal range of the percentage of neutrophils is between 45% and 70%. More important than the percentage of neutrophils is the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) , which should fall between 1.0 to 8.0 k/ul.
Absolute neutrophil count values can be normal and abnormal. Absolute neutrophil count normal range exceeds from 2,300/mm3 in healthy person but if it is above 1,000/mm3 then it is said to be safe for treating the patient through chemotherapy.The value of absolute neutrophil count below 1,000/mm3 is said to be abnormal as it extremely increases the risk of infections.he measurement of absolute neutrophil count is done by calculating the total number of white blood cells on the basis of combined percentage of bands immature neutrophil and mature neutrophils.
