Various laboratories and diagnostic tests will confirm and detect the prognosis of the patient‚ such as bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture. The essential diagnostic feature of acute leukemia is a hyper-cellular bone marrow with greater than 30% replacement of blast cells according to Nair and Pete (2013). Since ALL progresses rapidly‚ it needs treatment as soon as the disease is detected. The treatment will

The word fracture means broken bone this occurred when the bone snaps into two or bone snaps into several pieces due to excessive force. There is different way a fracture can occur‚ for instance small children are risk of developing fractures due to weak bone because children has lack of calcification and women with menopause develop a condition called osteoporosis due to bone becomes fragile because

Abstract Introduction The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint‚ while the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap forming the knee joint. By most measures the femur is the strongest bone in the body. The femur is also the longest bone in the body.Using the AP view of the hip‚ angle formed by axis of femoral shaft and line drawn along axis of femoral neck passing through center of head of femur.

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
