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.

Realize…

It’s been a long time since I posted a song in my blog.

Here’s what I’ve been hearing and singing for like days already. It’s an old song but… I think it’s kinda appropriate for my current state of being. LOL. Enjoy!

Realize by John Nathaniel

Take time to realize,
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.
But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by
Didn't I tell you
But I can't spell it out for you,
no it's never gonna be that simple
no I can't spell it out for you.

If you just realized what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

It's not always the same
no it's never the same
if you don't feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

If you just realize what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
OoOoOOo
missed out on each other now
missed out on each other now
Realize, realize
realize, realize
