It is a blood disorder that affects hemoglobin‚ red blood cells with normal hemoglobin move easily through the bloodstream‚ delivering oxygen to all of the cells of the body. Normal red blood cells are shaped like doughnuts with the centers partially scooped out and are soft and flexible. Sickle cell anemia occurs when

Over the past years there has been a hike in new technologies developed‚ and these devices have made their way into vehicles. Cell phones were first introduced in the U.S. in the mid 1980’s‚ and have since experienced dramatic growth. Cell phone use while driving should be the concern of motorists and policymakers and have lead policymakers to consider whether the use of cell phone while driving should be regulated or even prohibited. These new technologies often have people regularly engaged in multitasking

The world of medicine will be revolutionized by stem cell research. This revolution could bring about utter disaster or life changing miracles; it all lies in the hands of humans. Stem cell research is believed to have potential that can give rise to medical breakthroughs by answering the daunting questions that illnesses and disease bring. Yet‚ with all of the static that stem cell research can create these predictions are just that‚ and stem cell research could possibly cause more harm than good.

Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disease. The word anemia is defined as meaning that the blood does not have the required number of red blood cells. These cells take on a crescent shape‚ which is where the disease takes its name from the abnormal sickle shapes of the cells. It is commonly found in people from Africa‚ the Mediterranean region‚ southern India and the Middle East. “This disease of the blood was first discovered in 1910 in a black college student from the

Oxygen is delivered throughout the body to all the vital organs. Sickle Cell Disease An anemia is a condition where there are less red blood cells than normal. Sickle cell anemia is a disorder where the body creates sickle or crescent shaped red blood cells. In a normal blood cell they look like donuts with a hole in the middle. This shape helps them
