"The ' measures the volume of s compared to the total (red blood cells and ). The normal hematocrit for men is 40 to 54%; for women it is 36 to 48%. This value can be determined directly by microhematocrit centrifugation or calculated indirectly. s calculate the hematocrit by multiplying the the red cell number (in millions/mm3) by (MCV, in s). When so assayed, it is subject to the vagaries inherent in obtaining an accurate measurement of the MCV (see Chapter 152)."
"is the packed spun volume of whole that is made up of s and is expressed as a percentage of total . It can be measured or calculated as Hct = (RBC × )/10. Abnormal calculated hematocrit values may occur as a result of interferences that may cause erroneous RBC and MCV measurements which include very high count, high concentration of s, or … An increased hematocrit may be due to or . Decreased values may be due to , , , or . Pregnancy may also cause slightly decreased hematocrit due to an increase in blood volume."
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
