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

Aplastic Anemia Definition Pancytopenia resulting from aplasia of the B.M. classified into primary and secondary types. Definition the bone marrow produces too few of all three types of blood cells: red cells‚ white cells‚ and platelets (pancytopenia) Causes A-Primary: 1- congenital (as Fanconi’s anemia). 2- Idiopathic acquired (67% of cases). Causes B- secondary: 1-chemicals (benzene‚ toluene‚ glue sniffing). 2-drugs (chemotherapeutics‚ antibiotics

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

Sickle cell anemia Sickle cell anemia is a disease found right here in America‚ but in low levels compare to most of the world. 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 Sickle Cell Anemia occurs in about 1 out of 500 African American births‚ and 1 out of 36‚000 Hispanic births. It is a lifelong disease‚ and sometime can be deadly. According to Dr. Whittaker‚ in our region there are abnormally higher cases of Sickle Cell Anemia‚ so I found it important to learn more about the disease‚ what cause it‚ what are the symptoms as well as the options of treatments for this disease. According to www.invista.com‚ it is believed that sickle cell disease

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

Working with the 555 555 is used for producing a clock (square wave) at a desired frequency. It can be used in various ways like the astable mode‚ monostable mode etc. Here‚ we deal with the astable operation of 555. Astable mode ensures that the 555 is self-triggered & so‚ it acts as a multi-vibrator. Let us look into the working of 555 in astable mode: These are the connections needed to make the 555 chip run in the ‘astable’ mode. The pin numbers are given in circles. Note the
