There was no need for an oven. I chose to make chocolate donuts with chocolate glaze, topped with St. Pattyâs Day sprinkles. I adapted a recipe for the donuts from Wilton and adapted the glaze from a recipe I found on myrecipes.com from Sunset magazine. Then I headed to a local bakery at my Maceyâs grocery store.
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a machine-calculated measurement of the average size of platelets found in blood and is typically included in blood tests as part of the CBC.PV is higher when there is destruction of platelets. This may be seen in inflammatory bowel disease, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myeloproliferative diseases and Bernard-Soulier syndrome.
Platelets are the smallest of the three major types of blood cells. Platelets are only about 20% of the diameter of red blood cells. The normal platelet count is 150,000-350,000 per microliter of blood, but since platelets are so small, they make up just a tiny fraction of the blood volume. The principal function of platelets is to prevent bleeding.
