Anemia is indicated with light color lips and whitish tongue. Blood loss is an example of a high iron deficiency in South Asian females. In a paper‚ 18% of Bangladeshi females suffer iron deficiency due to lack of nutrition. Malnutrition is the reason behind the complication. Iron deficiencies are not only caused due to physiological changes but also because

The fetus is dependent on the mother for most nutrients and the fetus depends on the maternal hepatic detoxification that being alcohol dehydrogenase in the unborn child is less than 10% in their liver. This makes it so amniotic fluid is a reservoir for the alcohol and making the exposure longer. Ethanol and all of its metabolite acetaldehyde can make the fetal development disturbed by cellular

Experiment IV: Study of Krebs cycle using Mitochondria from Mung Bean Seedlings INTRODUCTION The mitochondria is a very important organelle in the plant cell because it carries out very important cellular reactions in the cell like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation which is how the plants produce ATP from the pyruvate produced through glycolysis (Meyer and Millar‚ 2008). Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP for the plant which is not enough for the cell to function while the Krebs cycle

Economic deficiency is not an exclusionary term fixated on the idea of financial stability and state of poverty; instead‚ it is a factor of intersectionality. Economic deficiency is measured along with other variables relating to inequality such as social class‚ gender‚ and race. These variables can be an added perspective to measure economic deficiency since they all tend to overlap and affect the person; furthermore‚ it may be more significant to examine the consequences of economic deficiency and

Iron deficient anemia is a decreased total iron body content. It occurs when iron deficiency is severe enough to lower the amount of red blood cells being formed and it causes the development of anemia. It is the most common deficiency in the world. Hemorrhages can also cause anemia and much greater problems. Bleeding can also be so slow that it is often overlooked. Iron is a necessity for all living organisms because it is needed for many processes. Iron levels are carefully regulated by

Malnutrition in the Philippines. Ravenholt A. PIP: In the Philippines poverty and pervasive malnutrition are not limited to families of deprived seasonal workers. Undernourishment is endemic and increasing throughout most of this archipelago of some 7100 islands‚ and is compounded by the prevalence of intestinal parasites and gastrointestinal diseases which health workers estimate deprive youngsters of at least 5-10% of the nutritional value in food they do consume. This problem is particularly

Pernicious Anemia and its association to orthostatic hypertension Pernicious anemia is the major form of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is caused by serum antibodies against intrinsic factor which leads to B12 deficiency rather than by B12 deficiency itself. Absorption of vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor which is secreted by parietal cells. Pernicious anemia is marked by autoimmune attack on gastric mucosa and a loss in parietal cells. Approximately 75% of the affected patients have type I antibody

Chronic Disease 1. Differentiate between absolute and functional iron deficiency in the context of ACD and IDA. Absolute iron deficiency is when the stores of iron are depleted and bone marrow iron is absent‚ resulting in low serum ferritin and low transferrin saturation. Simple absolute iron deficiency usually results in iron deficiency anemia and can be resolved with iron supplementation. Functional iron deficiency results in anemia of chronic disease/inflammation‚ where infections‚ connective
