wounds, burns, chronic dermal ulcers and diabetic ulcers about 2-fold faster than untreated wounds.[10, 72, 153, 157, 227] The influence is proposed to result from inducing the proliferation of otherwise non-proliferating cells Recombinant Human Erythropoietin…

the glomerulus. It also gathers minerals and releases them back into the bloodstream. During the filtering in the glomerulus and tubule, the kidneys make urine. The urine will carry the toxins out of the body. The kidneys also make the hormones, erythropoietin, renin, and vitamin D. These hormones help to make red blood cells, regulate blood pressure, and maintain bone health. Bladder-…

INTRO Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a slow growing blood cancer that causes the bone marrow to over produce blood cells. It is a chronic progressive Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) primarily characterized by an elevation of red blood cells ("Polycythemia Vera (PV)," 2014). SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Most people with PV don’t experience symptoms, but those who do will undergo headache, weakness, excessive sweating, painful swelling of one joint (often the big toe), difficulty breathing when you lie down,…

Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid which is used to increase the growth of certain tissues. Athletes would use this enhancing drug to improve their blood’s oxygen-carrying ability. This process would be done by increasing hemoglobin and the size of red blood cells. With this advantage, the athlete would be able to train longer and harder since they would have more amounts of oxygenated blood in their muscles. Athletes who have been injured would also take nandrolone in order to recover quicker.…

You could become a countries hero one day to a countries zero the next. Performing enhancing drugs have been a large talking point in sport ever since Lance Armstrong the famous cyclist was found out to be doping during the Tour de France in 2002.

In life people strive to be the absolute best they can be, especially when it comes to sports. In the recent years, many athletes have been caught using steroids all around the world. When an athlete uses performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) they are usually a well-known athlete. Therefore, the utilization of PEDs is becoming more prevalent. Now, when an athlete is succeeding in their sport, it causes the assumption of drug use to arise (Scott). Some athletes accomplish their goals and dreams by…

arteriolar resistance and reduced capacitance of the venous system.  Some drugs that may increase BP include corticosteroids, estrogens, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), amphetamines, sibutramine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, erythropoietin, and venlafaxine .  It has also been suggested that endothelial dysfunction and vascular inflammation may also contribute to increased peripheral resistance and vascular damage in hypertension. Interleukin 17 has…

Everyone is passionate about something, and a lot of people are passionate about sports. Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. Great traditions exist all over the world, based around the principles of sports, whether they are family traditions or even national traditions.

Now, imagine a friend or a family member is affected by drug use, specifically performance…

disease is seen in RA and presents as a mild normocytic to microcytic anemia, not as a macrocytic anemia. It is caused by decreased bioavailability of iron due to hepcidin, an acute-phase reactant, and inhibition of marrow erythroblast response to erythropoietin. Choice "C" is not the best answer. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is seen in connective tissue diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and RA. It presents as a normocytic anemia with increased reticulocyte count and a positive…

It arises when the body has low levels of red blood cells due to having not enough blood or when the red blood cells get destroyed. Damage to the kidney or bone marrow affects the hormone erythropoietin which regulates the production of more red blood cells. It affects the hemoglobin levels which if weak, leads the body to have low oxygen levels and cannot work properly. The signs and symptoms include fatigue, weakness in muscles, dizziness,…
