Coagulation

and, on average, takes around 6 minutes to develop after the damage occurs (Waugh and Grant, 2014). Sometimes, this stage is enough to prevent further bleeding, however, in Rosemary’s case; her bleeding didn’t stop for a while. Therefore we know coagulation had to occur in her damaged finger…

This paper is scribed to present the compare and contrast between chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thromboses. It will also present pathophysiology and treatment of the two mentioned diseases. The symptoms to the diseases may be identical although the anatomy is truly different.There is no exact amount of the people that are affected by chronic venous insufficiency and deep vein thrombosis although the estimated range is from 300,000 to over 600,000 each year in the United States.…

Von Willebrand Disease Von Willebrand disease is the most common bleeding disorder. It occurs when the body makes too little of the von Willebrand factor (VWF), a protein that helps blood clot, or when the VWF is misshapen and does not work the way it should. VWF is a carrier for another protein, called factor 8, that helps blood clot. When VWF levels are low or when VWF is not working properly, factor 8 levels are low as well and the body is less able to form stable blood clots. There are…

Hemophilia is a genetic disease that affects the blood. There are two types of this disease, they are classified as Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. This genetic disease is most commonly found in males, although, the gene is passed down from the mother, the “carrier.” However, it has been discovered that hemophilia can occur in females, though it is rare. Hemophilia A is the classic type of this disorder where the affected individuals have a profound deficiency in Factor VIII, a part of your…

excessive, or even fatal bleeding. (galegroup.com) Number of people affected – It is estimated that 10,000 people are born with this disease. It is a lifelong and chronic illness. (google.com) Life Expectancy- as of 2015, hemophilia was the most common coagulation factor deficiency and also had the highest associated treatment cost for a disorder. Life expectancy for people with Hemophilia is the same for regular people, because there is effective treatment.…

Early vitamin K deficiency bleeding occurs in 1 and 60 newborns born in the first 0-24 hours after birth. Mothers who used certain medications during their pregnancy makes it a higher risk for early deficiency bleeding also making it more severe. Late vitamin K deficiency bleeding in 2-12 weeks after birth occurs in 1 in 14,000 infants. 30%-60% of these infants have bleeding within the brain and tend to occur in breastfed only babies who have not received the vitamin K shot. All pregnant…

The F8 gene codes for the clotting factor VIII, which is a glycoprotein located in the blood that aids in the coagulation of blood in a blood clot. The gene is around 180,000 nucleotides long, including 26 exons.1 Those exons code for 2,332 amino acids.2 Hemophilia A is inherited through an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern because the F8 gene is located on the…

Hard dreamer age 25 male a case of frequent disruption to studies & parents under emotional & financial stress. As a kid “he cuts his small toe when he was one years old resulting in an unusual bleed,” (Ramchander, 2009). Then he starts “bleeding frequently from different sites like his gums, nose & ears,” (Ramchander, 2009). Three years later he bleeds from his forehead & hip after a fall, he experiences a major bleed in the urinary tract, & lastly his right knee is swollen making his movements…

SIMULATION CROSS BETWEEN A HETEROZYGOUS FEMALE AND A HEMOPHILIA MALE BACKGROUND INFORMATION The survival of the human species throughout the last millions of years has been solely based on the randomized process of genetic inheritance from one generation to the next generation. Instead of duplicating their genetic information and create identical offspring, humans produce sex cells, through the process of meiosis, that carry only half of the genetic information, and fertilize them in order to…
