Thank you for your informative post about iron-deficiency anemia. Anemia is not a disease but an indication of an underlying illness‚ in which there is a decreased in the number of the red blood cells (RBCs)‚ the amount of hemoglobin (Hgb)‚ and/or the volume of RBCs (Sabol et al.‚ 2010). As we age‚ Hgb levels decrease‚ increasing the incidence of anemia (Sabol et al.‚ 2010). Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) is the insufficiency in iron dietary intake and/or in iron absorption from different medical conditions

Cultures on the Iron Range 1880-1930 Immigration to America is one of the most life changing experiences for men‚ women‚ and families. The journey of moving to a foreign land‚ primarily from Europe‚ and leaving home behind can be unimaginable for many kids. Diverse cultures have shaped America to what people know today. People immigrate for many different reasons. Some immigrate due to economic‚ environmental‚ political‚ social reasons. Or to simply to seek a better life. Every individual man‚

Aim: To find out the mass of Iron (II) sulphate each ‘Iron tablet’ contains Background Knowledge: ‘Iron tablets’ are prescribed to patients suffering from anaemia. They contain 200mg (0.200g) of iron (II) sulphate FeSO4 We are going to analyse iron tablets to find out how much Iron (II) sulphate they contain. The procedure we will use is a REDOX reaction‚ by oxidising the Fe2+ contained in the Iron (II) sulphate to Fe3+. We will use potassium manganite (VII) as the oxidising agent. The active part

Anemia Iron deficiency anemia is a blood disease where your body does not have sufficient iron to make red blood cells. Red blood cells are important for the body to provide oxygen to your brain and tissues. If the body does not have sufficient iron‚ the blood provided to the brain and tissues cannot be carried efficiently. The human body normally gets iron from the consumption of high iron food‚ and or from old red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia can occur when the body loses blood cells at

Iron Deficiency AnemiaWhat is it and what are its causes?Anemia is an insufficient amount of red blood cells in the bloodstream and iron deficiency anemia is where there is a lack of iron in the blood. You need iron in your blood to make hemoglobin‚ which contributes in distributing oxygen to tissues from the lungs. One of the most common causes of iron deficiency anemia is an inadequate intake of iron in your diet. Another possible cause of iron deficiency anemia is bleeding‚ be this because of
