Sickle cell anemia (SCA) also known as sickle-cell disease (SDA) is the most common genetic blood disorder that most people know far to little about. It is blood disease identified by abnormal looking red blood cells (Primary Health Care 2012). Normal blood cells tend to be soft and round and travel to through the body smoothly as for sickle cells‚ on the other hand‚ look like a hard falcate moon shape (Primary Health Care 2012). These abnormal red blood cells result in a difficult blood flow

Introduction Dengue is a mosquito-borne infection that in recent decades has become a major international public health concern. Dengue is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world‚ predominantly in urban and semi-urban areas. Dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF)‚ a potentially lethal complication‚ was first recognized in the 1950s during dengue epidemics in the Philippines and Thailand. Today DHF affects most Asian countries and has become a leading cause of hospitalization and

There have been many researches and tests done on the genetic causes of Sickle Cell Anemia and how it developes‚ as well as it’s effects on the circulatory‚ muscular‚ and respiratory systems‚ as well as it’s effects on the joints and other systems of the body‚ and the complications associated with them. 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

in the bone marrow from which all blood cells form. Proerythroblasts are produced by the division and differentiation of stem cells. Basophillic erythroblasts during this stage in erythropoiesis hemoglobin synthesis begins. Intermediate erythroblasts at this time we now see the accumulation of hemoglobin due to its continued synthesis. Late erythroblasts during this stage the nucleus is extruded from the cell. Reticulocyte are cells that exhibit a net-like appearance or reticulum in their cytoplasm

Monoxide Carbon monoxide inhibits the blood’s ability to carry oxygen to body tissues including vital organs such as the heart and brain. When CO is inhaled‚ it combines with the oxygen carrying hemoglobin of the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). Once combined with the hemoglobin‚ that hemoglobin is no longer available for transporting oxygen. How quickly the carboxyhemoglobin builds up is a factor of the concentration of the gas being inhaled (measured in parts per million or PPM) and

a disease that is inherited. African-Americans are at greater risk for the disease than any other ethnic group. Sickle cell is caused by genetic abnormality. It is diagnosed by a blood test. The blood test measures the amount of abnormal sickle hemoglobin. Sickle cell can be treated by medications such as pain medications‚ anti-inflammatory medications‚ and antibiotics for infection. * * Spencer has noted over the past several weeks that he is having more

Spending the day in the operating room (OR) can be an exhilarating experience‚ throughout this paper I will discuss the different aspects of surgery as you follow my journey. I will discuss pre- operative care and testing preformed; operative care‚ anesthesia‚ and possible complication; and post-operative care and recovery. My day in the Operating room began with an introduction to my patient‚ an 87 year old man who was here for a left hip revision. He previously had a left total hip arthroplasty
