In other words, anemia may be stimulated by malnutrition, family history of anemia, alcoholism, strict vegan diet, intestinal disorders that affect nutrient absorption of the body, exposure to toxic chemicals, anemia in women during childbearing years, race, and chronic diseases. Signs and Symptoms Fatigue and weakness are the signs of mild anemia. The other signs include pasty or sallow complexion or no color in the palms, gums, nails beds, and lining of eyelids. People who are weak, get…

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic blood disorder that causes normal red blood cells to form into an irregular shape, called sickled-cells. The sickle cell gene causes the body to produce abnormal hemoglobin. After a while, the hemoglobin will then cluster together anywhere in the body causing the blockage of blood flow through the blood vessels. This blockage deprives the tissues and blood of oxygen which can lead to many difficulties and problems. SCD becomes life-threatening when the damaged red…

When people think of the definition of different, some people may think of someone with a disorder, such as autism spectrum disorder. However, as different as people think autism spectrum disorder is, it is not as different as people believe. In fact, autism is becoming more common today than it ever has before. It is just a disorder that is not well known as of yet. In order to have an idea of what autism spectrum disorder is, the first step is understanding what autism spectrum disorder is.…

treating all degrees of lead poisoning is to remove the source of the contamination. If you can't remove lead from the environment, it may at least be able to reduce the likelihood that it will cause problems. The main treatment medically is the chelation. This treatment is when someone takes a medication that binds with the lead so that it's excreted through the urine. As used by the University of Maryland Medical Center doctors treat adults with lead levels greater than 45 mcg/dL of blood with…

The deficiency of iron is related to decreased gastric and decreased absorptive capacity of the duodenum. The mechanism for developing osteomalacia is incompletely described, although the duodenum is a major site for calcium absorption (Stenson, 1999). Food items for a patient with Peptic Ulcer Permitted foods-Wheat chapattis, rice, maize, jowar, bajra or ragi, cereal of wheat, rice, oatmeal or maize, rice cooked, pulses and beans, vegetable soups, cooked vegetables, potato, sweet potato, meat,…

ABSTRACT: Terpolymer / kaolinite microcomposites were synthesized by 2:2:1 molar ratio of aniline, anthranilic acid and o-phenylenediamine monomers, respectively using various percentages of kaolinite clay via modified in situ oxidative ter-polymerization. The results were confirmed by FT-IR and UV-Vis absorption spectra of terpolymers / kaolinite composites. The thermal behaviour of the terpolymer and composites was studied. Terpolymers / kaolinite composites were thermally more stable than…

The FTIR spectrum of PVA/CS nanofiber was shown in Fig. 1(a). The band at 3255.32 cm−1 was corresponded to -OH stretching and the peaks at 1025.6 and 1450.04 cm−1 for the -C-O band. The peaks at 3445.32 cm-1, 2965 cm-1, 1640.01cm-1, 1598.7 cm-1, and 1361 cm-1 are due to amine NH symmetric vibration, C-H vibration, deformation vibration of the absorbed water molecules, stretching vibration of amino group of chitosan and vibration of C-H, respectively. The peaks at 890.1 and 1100 cm-1 was…

I. Question How does the addition of sodium citrate and changing pH affect the ability of different foods to undergo spherification? II. Background Research Molecular gastronomists use special techniques, ingredients, and cooking principles to make certain chemical reactions occur. These reactions, produce new flavors and textures. One popular technique is cooking meat sous vid, a French word that means ?under vacuum?. Another technique is spherification (which the act of making liquid-filled…

The heart is considered the “engine of life” through its ability to rhythmically pump oxygen rich blood throughout the body to supply life. Unfortunately, this vital organ is vulnerable to damage through actions of everyday life ranging from smoking, diet, physical inactivity, and consumption of alcohol. Damage to the heart results in heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease. Because of the vast complexity of the heart, heart disease branches off into various categories including…

Living With Sickle Cell Anemia Chasta D. Jones Text College Living With Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is a condition where there is not enough healthy red blood cells to carry enough oxygen within a persons body. The red blood cells become rigid, sticky, and shaped like crescent moons or sickles. The cells irregular shapes can get stuck in the blood vessels causing blockage of blood flow though the body. The sickle cells become weak and break apart and die. This leaves…
