Dacrocyte or Dacryocyte is a pear-shaped or tear-shaped red blood cell that is usually seen in a broad spectrum of infiltrative disorders that disrupt the bone marrow architecture and also in extramedullary hematopoiesis.

The abnormality is thought to be due to membrane damage to the red cell during maturation in a crowded bone marrow environment, damage at the time of exit from the bone marrow and subsequent circulation through the spleen.

These cells are usually seen in disorders such as myelofibrosis, metastatic tumor in the bone marrow, extramedullary hematopoiesis, dyserythropoiesis, megaloblastic anemias, thalassemia especially in thalassemia major, acute leukemias, and in multiple myelomas.

I don't have Dacrocyte cells in my peripheral blood smear more so the diseases stated above.

A friend of mine used to call me Dacrocyte during our MedTech years hence used in the advent of this blog.

HappySlip Fan's Day this Friday!

ranted out by dak at Wednesday, February 06, 2008

happyslipLast week, I received an email from Ms. Elaine of Yehey.com informing me that I was pre-selected to attend the HappySlip Meet and Greet this coming Thursday (Tomorrow, hehehe) at Mag:Net Cafe in Fort Bonifacio. I didn't believe at first but then I replied and confirmed my attendance. After a few days, I received another email telling me that I am one of the lucky 100 bloggers to meet HappySlip.

I was like, "Are you for REAL?!"

Also attached in the email was the list of the lucky bloggers. I saw Anton and Lauren's names in the list. I am #57. Hahaha...

Yep, I will definitely go tomorrow after my Pathology class in the morning. I am really lucky because I don't have class in the afternoon. The meeting's from 11AM to 3PM so I will be late. Better to be late than never eryt?

Anyway, good news!

I just received another email from Ms. Elaine of Yehey.com informing me about an another meet and greet opportunity with Christine Gambito popularly known as HappySlip. The email goes like this:
