Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that cause the abnormal formation of the hemoglobin protein in red blood cells (Nih). Hemoglobin is an essential protein that resides within the red blood cells supplying oxygen to the entire body. Hemoglobin S causes a mutation in shape of hemoglobin protein causing a group of blood disorders including sickle cell anemia and thalassemia. Sickle cell anemia is a result of one abnormal hemoglobin S gene given to a child by each parent‚ children that

An inverse relationship has been researched and found that those diagnosed with a deficiency in vitamin D can be at a higher risk for developing these forms of cancer.

The rate for disease is around five times greater in certain places in Africa. Sickle-Cell Anemia is often referred to as the “Negro-Inherited” disease‚ but that is incorrect. Although African Americans have a high occurrence of Sickle-Cell Anemia (1 in 400 African Americans)‚ many other nationalities suffer from the disease. Sickle-Cell Anemia affects 8 out of 100‚000

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder which is inherited from both parents‚ that causes red blood cells in patients to be sickle-shaped. This causes the red blood cells to clump together‚ and be unable to retain oxygen. Sickle cell anemia was first noted in 1910‚ and is thought to have evolved as a way for the body to naturally fight malaria. It is most prevalent in Africa‚ India‚ the West Indies and the Mediterranean‚ places where malaria is more common. In this country‚ it is most prevalent

Introduction Pernicious anemia (PA) is a type of macrocytic normochromic anemia. It is a slow-developing disorder with the underlying cause of Vitamin B12 absorption and deficiency due to lack of intrinsic factor (IF). Vitamin B12 absorption is facilitated by IF‚ which binds B12 in the duodenum‚ forming the IF-vitamin-B12 complex‚ later recognized by receptors and absorbed in the jejunum (Anderson‚ et al.‚ 445). A consequence of vitamin B-12 deficiency is altered DNA replication and erythropoiesis

Evolution of Disease Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Anemia is a disease that which the red blood cells form an abnormal sickle or crescents shape. Red blood cells are very important to the human body because they carry oxygen throughout the body. The main causes of Sickle cell is when the cells in the body mutate into abnormal cell called haemoglobin S. Haemoglobin S causes the red blood cells to become sickle shaped‚ rigid. This causes to make it more difficult for the cells to flow the vein

Sickle cell anemia was first discovered in the year of 1910. A young man by the name Walter Clement Noel from the island of Grenada‚ studied in Chicago. He went to Dr. James B. Herrick‚ whom was a cardiologist‚ with symptoms of anemia‚ who assigned Dr. Ernest Irons to the case. There Dr. Irons noticed that Noel’s red blood cells were the shape of a sickle. Although sickle cell anemia has occurred in Africa for thousands of years‚ Dr. Herrick was the first to provide a formal description of sickle
