Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder that allows for some treatment, however the average life expectancy of a patient will Sickle cell anemia is only 30 years. An inherited gene causes the hemoglobin in the blood to become misshaped. Hemoglobin is the part of the red blood cells (RBC) that carries the oxygen to all of the body’s tissues and organs. This leads to inadequate amounts of oxygen to be carried on the hemoglobin, thus resulting in insufficient oxygenation for…

Marine Science 04.03 Sharaad Britt 1. Some of the common symptoms of food poisoning: • Some of the common symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and respiratory distress. • Based on the above symptoms I think brevetoxin , which is produced by Karenia brevis would be responsible for the outbreak. Karenia brevis (K. brevis), a marine algae, causes red tides. 2. A HAB outbreak can have an economic impact: • HAB can affect tourism, public health, jobs, public…

Explain the significance of the thickness of the left ventricular wall. The right ventricle wall is small and thin containing deoxygenated blood. The left is just the opposite. The left ventricle is larger and thicker making it stronger than the right, but containing oxygenated blood. However, since it is pumping blood all around the body, it is at a more forceful rate (Oxford Journals, 2016). The major coronary vessels are on the surface of the heart. What is the advantage of that location?…

amino acid (a.a) change in beta chain get the 6th amino acid valine (neutral) instead of glutamic acid (negative).” [10] The differences within the molecular charge of the molecule produces different shaped hemoglobin beta-chains. Under conditions of hypoxia (low oxygen) and or high acidity, B6 valine bonds to other amino acid on Hb molecules to form polymers Hb, cause a…

central role in AD pathogenesis. Accordingly, CVD and several cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. atherosclerosis, heart failure, hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia, and diabetes mellitus) or their potential consequences (chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, hypoxia, and ischemia) have been associated with the development of AD (Hachinski and Munoz 1997; la Torre 2004; Pimentel-Coelho and Rivest 2012; la Torre 2012; Kelleher and Soiza 2013; Zhao and Gong 2015). Other evidence supporting the notion that…

Based on Trevor’s symptomology, he is currently experiencing neuroleptic malignant syndrome that is an adverse reaction to anti-psychotic medications and anti-depressant medications (Benzer, 256). Trevor is currently unconscious thus; describing an adverse reaction to the medications he currently has taken copious amounts of (Benzer, 256). From a pathophysiological standpoint, there is a decreased amount of dopamine receptors, due to an initial blockade, and a decreased performance from the…

Aaron Adderley. Research FDA.gov site for Biomedical Device or system Recall for the past 120 days. Report on at lease 5 devices/systems with: 1) the reason for recalls 2) the companies involved 3) how was the issue identified 4) what is the severity of the issue 5) the impact to the society if the recall was not made. CareFusion Alaris Syringe Pump Alarm The reason for recalls in the device is the pump causes an alarm that stops the patient’s infusion. The pump is unresponsive even if the…

The protein product of the myostatin gene inhibits skeletal muscle growth. People who suffer from skeletal muscle degenerative diseases show significant increases in myostatin. In contrast, knocking-out the gene results in significant increases in skeletal muscle mass (hypetrophy, which is characterized by an increase in muscle cell size not number, such as is seen in professional athletes) in experimental animals. Recently, a human child exhibiting strength far beyond that of other children of…

Hematocrit is a test that essentially test the total RBC’s volume in the blood. A small blood sample is extracted from the subject and the sample is then centrifuge to separate heavy components from lighter components. Typical that means that the heavy RBC’s should be compact at the bottom, while the lighter and less dense plasma so be at the top. Once separate the individual components can be accurately measured and assessed for determining the percentage of the RBC’s in the sample. If one…

absolutely revolting. Secondly, there are a lot of health danger. Chronic nausea and vomiting due to oversize eating in a short amount of time is a small effect. Some bigger and more concerning health effects are asphyxiation- which results in seizures, hypoxia, and permanent damage- and possible death due to choking. Also, the event for the eaters puts a lot of stress on the heart, liver, and kidney. Overall, there are many negative health effects. Another reason that I am against competitive…
