AND FOLIC ACID IN PREVENTING MATERNAL ANEMIA AMONG VEGETARIANS-A CASE CONTROL STUDY INTRODUCTION: Anemia complicating pregnancy poses a considerable danger to pregnant women and the fetal outcomes. Maternal anemia is defined as presence of less than 9gm% of hemoglobin in blood (Van Hove et. al‚ 2000). There is a significant risk of premature delivery and miscarriage in anemic women. The fetus is also at risk for low birth weight and severe anemia is associated with increased maternal

Ms Fredrick can improve her overall health by listening to the advise given by the G.P. Ms Fredrick has a T-score of -1‚ meaning Ms Fredrick’s bone density is that of osteopenia. This means that Ms Fredrick’s body is at risk of forming osteoporosis. Ms Fredrick can stop this from happening by quitting smoking‚ eating healthy‚ exercising and considering Hormone Replacement Therapy. As a menopausal woman Ms Fredrick is going through a hormone imbalance. During the menopause the endocrine system produces

Youseff Anemia Anemia is a blood disease where the body does not produce enough red blood cells. Each red blood cell carries hemoglobin (oxygen) to all tissues of the body and also removes carbon dioxide waste by carrying it to the lungs to be exhaled. When a person has Anemia they have less amount of hemoglobin or oxygen in their blood. Anemia is one of the most common blood disorder and can cause many problems with the body. There are many different forms of anemia such as aplastic anemia‚ folic

Sickle Cell Anemia‚ also known as Sickle Cell Disease‚ is a disease that causes the production of abnormal hemoglobin. The red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Hemoglobin‚ a molecule in the RBCs‚ is a protein that attaches to the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin takes on the oxygen‚ and releases carbon dioxide‚ a process known as oxygenation. In the tissues‚ deoxygenation occurs where the processes is reversed‚ when hemoglobin releases
Premium Red blood cell Hemoglobin Sickle-cell disease
Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit B‚ which is a protein that serves as part of the hemoglobin A (HbA). The HbA is responsible for oxygen binding through the blood stream. Indeed‚ the abnormal polymerization of hemoglobin occurs in homozygous individuals with sickle-cell anemia‚ which lowers the oxygen supply of red blood cells. To lower the negative consequences of sickle-cell anemia‚ it is necessary to provide a better understanding

Most of the research has been done to explore on the reasons why it mostly effects the African-American community and people who are from the West Coast of Africa. It has also been known that Sickle Cell Anemia also effects people from the Mediterranean

Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that affects the 11th chromosome which is a hemoglobin gene. Hemoglobin is a protein located in red blood cells (RBCs) that carries oxygen through the body. This disorder is inherited from two parents with abnormal genes that are heterozygous (Rr). This means that both parents who have the trait may pass on the disorder to their offspring. The phenotype makeup is recessive. Those who inherit a normal copy of the chromosome 11 and a mutated chromosome will carry
