Each red cell has about 270‚000‚000 iron-rich hemoglobin molecules. People who are anemic generally have a deficiency in red cells‚ and subsequently feel fatigued due to a shortage of oxygen. The red color of blood is primarily due to oxygenated red cells. Human fetal hemoglobin molecules differ from those produced by

Patient Case Question 1: For which condition is this patient likely taking nifedipine? Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Patient’s past medical history indicates that he has had hypertension “for years‚” the patient is most likely taking Nifedipine to manage this condition.

A Comparative Study between Venipuncture and Fingerstick Methods as Blood Collection Technique for Complete Blood Count In Laboratory Medicine‚ evaluation of Complete Blood Count is essential to determine the patient’s health. Obtaining blood sample is done by different blood collection techniques‚ specifically‚ the venipuncture and the fingerstick method. Venipuncture is achieved by inserting a hypodermic needle to the median cephalic vein to obtain venous blood while pricking the fingertips

Patients afflicted with diabetes are at risk for a variety of pathologies resulting in many complications including foot ulceration and amputation. The multi-factorial etiology of diabetic foot ulcers is evidenced by the numerous pathophysiologic pathways that can potentially lead to this disorder. A multicenter study attributed 63 percent of diabetic foot ulcers to the critical triad of peripheral sensory neuropathy‚ deformity‚ and trauma (Reiber‚ et al.‚ 1999). The following discusses the pathophysiology

capacity? If it have these two features : It diffuse across alveolar capillary membrane It binds with hemoglobin. Why we use CO in this test instead of other gases? Because of two factors: Carbon monoxide diffuse very rapidly across the alveolar-capillary membrane. So‚ there will not be a back pressure. Carbon monoxide has high affinity 230 times more than oxygen to bind with hemoglobin. So‚ there will not be CO dissolved in plasma and that will not affect the partial pressure. Equipments:
