breathing‚ chest recession and bilateral crepitations on auscultation. A repeat haemoglobin level estimation gave a result of 2g/dl. Blood for grouping and cross match was taken and the obstetrician ordered blood transfusion of three units of packed cells if available otherwise whole blood. This was not available till in the morning at 8.30AM when two units of whole blood were availed. Since admission the patient was put on Oxygen and the head of bed raised. The bed had sidebars to prevent her from falling

Although G6PD is thought to be present in every cell‚ it is essential in red blood cells for sustaining cellular integrity and preventing free radicals from destroying them. Thus‚ favism is a disease that targets red blood cells in the circulatory system . People with favism show symptoms of anemia or hemolytic anemia where there is very little red blood cells or the red blood cells burst. Other diseases that target red blood cells include sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia . J.B.S. Haldane (one of

function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. The kidneys process about 200 l’s of blood every day and produce about 2 l’s of urine. * The kidneys allow consumption of a variety of foods‚ drugs‚ vitamins and supplements‚ additives‚ and excess fluids. The kidney also plays a major role in regulating levels of various minerals such as calcium‚ sodium‚ and potassium in the blood. * The kidneys also produce certain hormones that have important functions

What is Thalassemia? Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which parents pass the genes for disorder on to their children. It reduces reproduction of red blood cells in human body. In thalassemia patient‚ the genes that control globin production are mutated or deleted. As a result‚ formation of the corresponding globin chains is trimmed down and an abnormal hemoglobin ratio is enhanced. This abnormal ratio leads to a decreased synthesis of hemoglobin and expression of thalassemia. Professor

One example of athletes trying to beat the system is that of the recently publicized performance-enhancing dispute with blood doping in the sport of cycling‚ namely the use of recombinant human erythropoietin (Robinson‚ Mangin‚ and Saugy 2003). The following will discuss the function of erythropoietin‚ its uses in medicine and athletics‚ the benefits and risks of artificial
