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

Paired chromosomes look similar under the microscope but differ in DNA sequence. One member of each pair is inherited from the mother‚ and the other from the father. Twenty-two pairs of chromosomes are autosomes. The remaining pair‚ the sex chromosomes‚ confers maleness (XY) or

When it is cold outside and the temperature drops‚ your body thermo receptors detect the drop and send signals to the hypothalamus. Neurons also send signals to smooth the walls of the blood vessels to make them contract‚ which creates a narrowing in the blood vessel also known as “vasoconstriction”. What vasoconstriction

HYPERTENSION‚also known as high blood pressure‚ is the most common chronic cardiovascular disease in which the blood vessels (arteries) have persistently raised pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood exerting against the walls of arteries as it is pumped by the heart through out the body. Therefore‚ hypertension occurs when the blood is pushes harder against the arterial wall. It is called the “SILENT KILLER" because it shows no signs and symptoms that is why it is important to check
