and pregnancy can cause anemia. There are also more serious causes such as problems with the immune system that cause destruction of red blood cells earlier than normal‚ chronic diseases including kidney disease and cancer‚ and problems with bone marrow found in leukemia and lymphoma (MedlinePlus:Anemia‚ 2012). What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit? A bacterial infection‚ which raises white blood cell counts‚ may affect the hematocrit by lowering it. 2.) Compare

“evil” this of course comes from the mythical possibility of cloning humans or collecting genetic material from human fetuses. Human cloning‚ although highly unofficial‚ is possible‚ and there are thousands of uses for it‚ from the medical organ donation to science and art. We ’ve all wondered how Julius Caesar or Alexander the great would fare in the modern world‚ and many would like to listen to more songs from Elvis Presley. But is it ethical? What stands against cloning are arguments of a quite

Cancer Research Assignment Leukemia Leukemia is a form of cancer found in the blood and the bone marrow‚ where more white abnormal cells are dividing quickly which could overtime outnumber the normal cells. Leukemia starts formation in the stem cells of bone marrow and develops when the blood stem cells in the marrow are abnormal. Overtime this rapid growth and division will cause the leukemia cells to overcrowd the normal blood cells‚ making it harder for the white blood cells‚ red blood cells
