Anemia

Topical Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Application In an animal model the topical application of NGF to wounds and ulcers leads to a statistically significant decrease in the wound perimeter (66%) vs. controls.[8, 23, 77, 120] Clinically, topical application of NGF leads to the repair of neurotrophic corneal ulcers, recovery of corneal surface sensitivity [36, 119] and diabetic foot ulcers.[73] Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) Topical application of bFGF enhances the healing for operative…

abdominal cramps and watery diarrhea that develops into severe bloody diarrhea within days (Shewdlow 2015). Essentially, E. coli O157:H7 can lead to anemia, kidney failure, and eventually death. In some people, specifically infants under the age of five and the elderly, the infection can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is characterized by hemolytic anemia (erythrocytes and the hemoglobin are eradicated) and the kidneys fail. In the United States, hemolytic uremic syndrome is the…

alleles of a gene. I've never heard of this word before. It's nice to learn about allele's as well.
 6. Carrier-A carrier is a person who has a change in one copy of a gene. I had always heard the word "carrier" because of friends with the sickle cell anemia…

It is important to remember that the severity of symptoms may vary among different children. Children who have severe symptoms are often hospitalized for treatment. The most common symptom related to anemia is fatigue. The child will often feel tired and or weak. They may also have dizziness, shortness of breath and headaches. Their skin will be paler than normal, and they may also have signs of jaundice. One of the most important symptoms to be managed…

recommendation for folate is 400 μg. In other words, I only met 50.4% of my DRI which clearly shows that I failed to meet the DRI recommendation. Due to Folate deficiency my risk of birth defects and anemia are high. However, by adding oranges, nuts, green beans, and legumes to my diet my risks of anemia condensed. My DRI recommendation for Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is 2.4 μg. My average intake is less than my recommended DRI. My average intake is 1.8 μg only met 75.9% of my DRI. Therefore, I…

1) (20 points) The Human Genome Project (HGP) – Awesome Achievement… for what? The Human Genome Project has guided the medical field and has chnaged many lives. With having the human genome project you can now look into your genetrics and find mutation sin your own geneome to find out what you have or are at risk of having. Also with human genemeing we have found areas in the gene that represent a certaint disorder and with medican we can help change the issue within the body. For example there…

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest disease that hits you as a surprise. This cancer has affected me as upcoming nurse and a student by being assigned to a patient who was suffering from ovarian cancer along with depression and anxiety due to the disease. The reason why I chose this article mainly is because ovarian cancer took a piece of my patient’s life away by leading it to spend the remaining of her life dealing with the disease, being away from her family and being alone in the hospital…

does. Though they are times when they should have a reality check and ask themselves if it’s ok whatever they are doing. I have my pros and cons about this ¨fixing DNA.¨ I agree that they should try to find a way to cure diseases such as sickle-cell anemia, muscular dystrophy, and many more hereditary diseases. What I don’t…

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a monogenic disorders (Bhanushali et al., 2014) characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, acute vaso-occulusive crises (Platt, 2008), and the acute chest syndrome (ACS) (Lettre et al., 2008). A point mutation in the β-globin gene, the substitution of valine for glutamic acid at position 6 of the β-globin gene (Glu6Val), is the major cause of sickle cell anemia (Platt, 2008; Mtatiro et al., 2015). The mutated β-globin gene (Glu6Val) leads to the formation of sickle…

. Aquaculture experiences an annual growth of 10 percent surpassing beef production in the year 2010. The important features in aquaculture include where, how and the tonnage of fish produced. The industrialized nations produce 80% meat, but fish takes place six times faster in developing countries (FAO 26). Fish is an inexpensive, nutritious animal protein and is a contributing factor towards raising nutritional standards, food security and poverty alleviating in low-income countries. Where the…
