Anemia

before that originating in East Africa. The Disease was discovered in the U.S when a patient from Granada came to Dr. Ernest Irons with anemia symptoms. The disease has a dominant gene and a recessive gene. The dominant gene is the full blood disease Sickle cell anemia, the recessive is the trait of the disease cached the name Sickle cell trait. The full anemia and recessive trait has no cure but the disease is still being studied and looked at today for treatments and possible cures. The…

In the United States, the chance of the diagnosing an African American man with sickle cell anemia is quite significantly higher when compared to men, women, and children of other groups. The health disparity is one that is without doubt classified to be prevalent among the black populace. The fact that the health issue tends to lean on one side of a group is an interesting aspect that demands a lot of research to get an understanding of the reasons for this. What is the reason for the…

As a Nursing assistant (NA) you will be the eyes and ears for the healthcare team caring for a person with sickle cell anemia. The NA will watch for episodes of pain, abnormal skin color, complaints of chest pain and skin breakdown. All of these findings should be reported to the nurse immediately. When a person with this disease has a “crisis”, episode of pain, it can be very frightening, therefore the NA should be there to help the patient get the correct care. The NA should also be there to…

While studying and learning about the blood portion of the cardiovascular system in BIO 211, we learned that major function of this particular system is transportation of oxygen, waste and nutrients throughout the body. However, the specific part of the circulatory system that I would like to focus on are the erythrocytes. The erythrocytes, located in our bloodstream and blood vessels, which have the function of transporting oxygen to all parts of the body when tissues become deoxygenated. The…

Hello Dr. Julian, Thank you for reading my discussion post case study # 2, and perspective question. Lead poisonousness is a global problem, while arrays of research information indicated a deterioration in the predominance of upsurge blood lead echelons in children from the developed world, lead lingers as a widespread avoidable ecological health hazard. The CBC analysis has an enormous effect on lead poisoning, the CBC laboratory appraisal answers arrays of question-related to quantity of…

There are many different types of anemia. Which specific type of anemia is Harold suffering from? Beginning with the peripheral blood smear, describe the key pieces of evidence you’ve used to draw this conclusion. Harold is suffering from pernicious anemia. Pernicious Anemia is caused by reduced acceptance of vitamin B12 in the body, which results in a lack of intrinsic factor that is formed by stomach…

the S beta chain responsible for sickle cell anemia, it differs in one amino acid from a normal beta-chain. At the beta gene locus, two possible alleles have two base sequences A = normal beta-chain and S = sickle-cell beta chain. Sickle cell anemia is due to abnormality of hemoglobin, a (protein carrying oxygen to the tissues). “Anemia is a decrease in RBCs; or hemoglobin; or ability to carry oxygen. Hemoglobin S (allele HbS) causes Sickle Cell Anemia, without hemoglobin S, one amino acid…

death: veganism. Veganism is a very productive way to end global warming by stopping greenhouse gasses from making contact with the ozone layers. It is also the single most effective path to reduce global warming, however becoming a vegan could cause anemia. Humans are killing themselves slowly every day due to global warming. Greenhouse gases are accumulating within Earth's atmosphere, causing climate change. According to PETA, " Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are all powerful…

Sickle Cell Anemia India is one of the biggest countries with a population of 1.3 billion, but with a high population comes a high percentage in disease specifically sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia’s history goes as far back as 1846, since numerous discoveries have been made in understanding how sickle cell manifests. Therefore Dr. Herrick in 1910 was the first to distinguish the “pelicular elongated and sickle shaped” platelets (Vasaikar, 2015). While in 1949 sickle cell was identified…
