@BloodScientist The patient could be post allo BMT from a female donor? 😅

If a Barr body / drumstick is seen on the peripheral blood film it is assumed the individual is biologically born female (XX) So how come this is seen in a biologically born male (XY)? 🤔 #BloodyRiddle

@BloodScientist You’ve explained this so well, thank you!

[12] Chromatin pattern can help identify cells based on their maturity. It should be used with other features such as size, colour, lobation and granulation to name a few. Thanks for reading! #OnlyCells #Chromatin #Maturation #DNA #identification #Morphology _____ 📸: All images in this thread were taken from personal photography

Chromatin patterns 🧵 [1] How many times have you heard phrases like: "Fine chromatin" "Dotted like with a pencil" "Smooth chromatin" "Clumped chromatin" "like a football (some of y'all may call it a soccer ball)"...? What do they mean and how do you make sense of it all? How does the chromatin relate to the morphology? Let's take a deep dive. 👇 #OnlyCells #Chromatin #BackToBasics

@WilliamAird4 Thank you, this was really helpful 😊 I love how you haven’t over complicated it. I’m going to add this as a learning tool for our trainees 🎉

I recently tweeted a classification scheme for hemolytic anemia. I made a short video to narrate the scheme. I would LOVE 😍your input: is this type of video helpful or do the schematics speak for themselves? You can access the video here: thebloodproject.com/classification…

@mattwright123 Leaned over to ask the haem reg exactly how to report but this was new for them too, we all ended up taking some great photos 😂 Was described as ‘numerous blasts with heavy round basophilic granulation’

I’ve never seen blasts like this! 😱 Numerous of these cells were seen in a film from a patient who had recently been diagnosed with AML 🥴

@pintsizethunder Congratulations 🥳🎉

Pleased to say I (finally) passed my Specialist Portfolio 😊😊😊

That’s my team! 👩🏼‍🔬

@pintsizethunder Yeehaww! 🥳🥳

I have a specialist verifier 😱😱

It’s #BiomedicalScienceDay2023 let’s start our Twitter show by saying hello to our Haem Team at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare @IBMScience @uhbtrust

@UHBPathology @IBMScience @uhbtrust Aw this is fab! 🤩 Happy Biomedical Science Day 👩🏼‍🔬

@SPhinbow I defo prefer black but honestly it’s whatever works and hasn’t been pinched from my pockets between night shifts 😂🥲

@EmergMedDr @Emz_Is Yes the cost is a lot but at least at the UHCW sites you can find a space. I’m currently at QE and pay £20 per month however if you’re not on site by 7am latest then you need to park offsite (at least a 20 minute walk) 🥲

@pintsizethunder @SlamDunkMusic I’m so sad you missed bands 😭 They never should have gotten rid of the Midlands day 😓

Music was great, but the organisation of @SlamDunkMusic was dreadful and I missed two of my favourite bands. 5 hours to drive 65 miles?! 90 minutes to exit a field?! Not good enough

Big shout out to all our #BiomedicalScience colleagues keeping services running over the weekend!

@BonsuPhrancis @BloodScientist Yep. Two cells on the left, one cell bottom centre and one on the right

@JadeLBolton @BloodScientist You saw MPs in A?

#MorphologyMonday Thrombocytopaenia, or a low platelet count can be caused by a multitude of reasons. When you see a lack of platelets on the film, what goes through your mind? Here are 3 images with decreased platelets, can you guess what's going on in each? #OnlyCells

@georgemachin_ Thank you for the moral support for two years 😂

@JadeLBolton Yay! ☺️🔬🩸

I’m officially a Specialist Biomedical Scientist in Haematology and Transfusion! 👩🏼‍🔬🔬🩸

@IoannouMarilena Thank you so much 🥰 DMU lecturers got a well deserved mention during the lab tour!

Brilliant achievement congratulations @JadeLBolton 😊👍👏👏

@QualityMaggie That unit of blood is fab! 🥹
