A hematopathologist looks at peripheral blood smears, bone marrow aspirates and biopsies, lymph nodes, and other tissues, and uses his/her expertise to diagnose diseases such as lymphomas and leukemias.
Hematophagy Hematophagy (sometimes spelled haematophagy) is the habit of certain animals of feeding on blood (from the Greek words, haima, blood, and phagein, eat). Since blood is a fluid tissue rich in nutritious proteins and lipids and can be taken without enormous effort, hematophagy has evolved as a preferred form of feeding in many small animals, such as worms and arthropods.

It is present in less than 2% of urology referrals, although prevalence in the overall population is unknown.

Hemicompact space In mathematics, in the field of topology, a topological space is said to be hemicompact if it has a sequence of compact subsets such that every compact subset of the space lies inside some compact set in the sequence. Clearly, this forces the union of the sequence to be the whole space, because every point is compact and hence must lie in one of the compact sets.
Hemicontinuity In mathematics, the concept of continuity as it is defined for single-valued functions is not immediately extendible to multi-valued mappings or correspondences. In order to derive a more generalized definition, the dual concepts of upper hemicontinuity and lower hemicontinuity are introduced.

Hemo-Neural Hypothesis The Hemo-Neural hypothesis states that blood flow to cerebral areas is inextricably linked to neural activity. Unlike current dogma that interprets blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as completely metabolic signals, the Hemo-Neural hypothesis claims that the blood flow may be interacting with neurons on a fundamental level.
Hemocoel A Hemocoel is a cavity or series of spaces between the organs of organisms with open circulatory systems like most arthropods and mollusks. A combination of blood, lymph, and interstitial fluid called hemolymph circulates through the hemocoel.
Hemocyanin Hemocyanins (also spelled haemocyanins) are respiratory proteins, metalloproteins containing two copper atoms that reversibly bind a single oxygen molecule (O2). Oxygenation causes a color change between the colorless Cu(I) deoxygenated form and the blue Cu(II) oxygenated form.
Hemoencephalography Hemoencephalography (HEG) is a type of functional near-infrared imaging (fNIR) of the level of neuronal activity in the brain. One method of doing this takes advantage of the translucent nature of the cranium and differences in absorption rates of various wavelengths of light for oxygenated vs.
Hemofiltration In medicine, hemofiltration, also haemofiltration, is a renal replacement therapy similar to hemodialysis which is used almost exclusivley in the intensive care setting. Thus, it is almost always used for acute renal failure.
Hemoglobin Hemoglobin or haemoglobin (frequently abbreviated as Hb or Hgb) is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red cells of the blood in mammals and other animals; in mammals the protein makes up about 97% of the red cell’s dry content, and around 35%, including water. Hemoglobin in vertebrates transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, such as to the muscles, where it releases the oxygen load.
Hemoglobin C Hemoglobin C (abbreviated as Hb C or HbC) is an abnormal hemoglobin with substitution of a lysine residue for glutamic acid residue at the 6th position of the Ăź-globin chain.Hemoglobin C (HBB, GLU6LYS) This mutated form reduces the normal plasticity of host erythrocytes.
Hemoglobin variants Hemoglobin variants are mutant forms of hemoglobin in a population (usually of humans), caused by variations in genetics. Some well-known hemoglobin variants such as sickle-cell anemia are responsible for diseases, and are considered hemoglobinopathies.
Hemoglobinopathy Hemoglobinopathy is a kind of genetic defect that results in abnormal structure of one of the globin chains of the hemoglobin molecule. Most common hemoglobinopathies include sickle-cell disease and thalassemia.
Hemolysis Hemolysis (or haemolysis)—from the Latin Hemo-, Greek meaning blood, -lysis, meaning to break open— is the breaking open of red blood cells and the release of hemoglobin into the surrounding fluid (plasma, in vivo).
Hemolysis (microbiology) Hemolysis is used in the empirical identification of microorganisms based on the ability of bacterial colonies grown on agar plates to break down red blood cells in the culture. When the organism has been grown on blood agar plates, it can be classified with regard to whether or not it has caused hemolysis in the red blood cells (RBCs) incorporated in the medium.
Hemopoietic growth factors Hemopoietic growth factors regulate the differentiation and proliferation of particular progenitor cells. Made available through recombinant DNA technology, they hold tremendous potential for medical uses when a person's natural ability to form blood cells is diminished or defective.
Hemoprotein A hemoprotein (also haemoprotein), or heme protein, is a metalloprotein containing a heme prosthetic group, either covalently or noncovalently bound to the protein itself. The iron in the heme is capable of undergoing oxidation and reduction (usually to +2 and +3, though stabilized ferryl [Fe+4] compounds are well known in the peroxidases).
Hemopure Hemopure, developed by Biopure (BPUR), is an oxygen-therapeutic based on chemically stabilized bovine hemoglobin. It has been developed for potential use in humans as a substitute for blood, which can be in short supply, carries a risk of being used improperly, may cause reactions, or may carry infection.
Hemorrhagic infarct Hemorrhagic infarcts are commonly caused by occlusion of veins, with red blood cells entering the area of the infarct. This is commonly seen in lungs, liver and the GI tract, areas referred to as having "loose tissue," or dual circulation.
Hemostat A hemostat, also called a hemostatic clamp is a surgical tool which resembles a set of scissors with a locking clamp replacing the blade. A set of hemostats comes in several different sizes and types, for example, Kelly, Crile, and Halstead; and any given surgery may require the use of a number of hemostats.
Hemotoxin Hemotoxins, haemotoxins or hematotoxins are toxins that destroy red blood cells (that is, cause hemolysis), disrupt blood clotting, and/or cause organ degeneration and generalized tissue damage. The term hemotoxin is to some degree a misnomer since toxins that damage the blood also damage other tissues.
Hemp Hemp is a common name for Cannabis sativa and the name most used when this annual plant is grown for non-drug purposes. These include the industrial purposes for which cultivation licences may be issued in the European Union and Canada.
