et. al, 2009). The deficiencies in Erythrocytes make the patient very tired and susceptible to Anemias. The patient may also complain of shortness of breath due to the decreased count in white blood cells. The deficiencies in Neutrophils and Lymphocytes cause the patient to become vulnerable to bacterial and viral infection while the low platelet count means that the patient will have trouble clotting wounds on their own. Healthy bone marrow produces: Red blood cells that carry oxygen and…

Approach to the Care of Cancer Throughout this paper, this writer will explain the diagnosis and staging of cancer. Cancer is the general name given to a group of related diseases which can occur in any part of the body. Cancer is when the body’s cells start dividing without stopping and spread to the tissues of the body. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), 2015 states that there is over 100 types of cancer. Cancer affects the person, family, and healthcare providers. Complications of the…

Grace Lessman HES 1823 March 22, 2017 X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia  X-linked Agammaglobulinemia, or Bruton’s disease, directly targets the immune system. The function of the immune system is to protect the body from harmful cells that may cause disease. The immune system determines whether a cell is healthy or unhealthy. An unhealthy cell is infected, and once the infection is detected the immune system sends cells called antibodies to respond and terminate the unhealthy cells (Primary Immune…

during forced exhalation caused by loss of elastic recoil, and airflow obstruction caused by mucus hypersecretion, mucosal edema, and bronchospasm (Lewis, 2014). Inhaled irritants promote the accumulation of inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, T-lymphocytes, B-cells, and macrophages. When these cells are activated, they initiate an inflammatory cascade that…

For the dietary analysis, I was surprised to learn how much of a deficit there was between the recommended amount of calories to maintain my current weight and how many calories I actually consumed. Both days I was not even close to hitting 2,000 calories, which is a relief and a concern at the same time. By that, I mean I was relieved to know that I did not eat excess calories, but am concerned that I’m not eating enough. I was also surprised to see how much of everything (dairy, grains, etc.)…

infection. The idea behind the vaccine is simple. According to the CDC (2013), “Vaccines help develop immunity by imitating an infection. This type of infection, however, does not cause illness. The infection does cause the immune system to produce T-lymphocytes and antibodies.” The idea is to give your body a warmup fight with the infection so that if the real thing ever hit, your immune system already knew how to fight it off. Over the years, vaccines have been incorporated into society with…

3. Why a malaria vaccine is required? When microorganism enter the body, the immune system fight these foreign antigens by production of T or B-lymphocytes that produces antibodies, which effectively neutralize foreign invaders. Human body take several days to produces antibodies, while microorganism attack and multiply in the body and produce serious illness before immune system can fit back, this is a reason behind the vaccine manufacturing and development (CDC, 20175; Sarkander et al., 2016;…

Blood is everywhere, in everyone, in all living animals. The type of blood and what makes it look how it does is all based on its composition. The uses of it are vital to all animals survival as it is the key component to living. Unknown to most, but the blood's composition must be kept at near perfect balance at all time for it to perform all its functions. Blood is a crucial part of an animal's existence. Without it, it could not survive. Blood has numerous types as well as appearances, and…

The Specimen Reception – where I spent most of my day-to-day work – is part of the Lab-Med group that is situated in the Central Pathology lab, and is made up of the biochemistry laboratory, the haematology laboratory – which includes cryobiology and coagulation, the microbiology lab, the histopathology lab – which includes cytopathology, the immunology lab, cancer molecular diagnostics, and transfusion medicine, as well as the Irish mycobacterium reference lab, and the national MRSA reference…

The disease of the lungs, COPD, can be traced back to the 1600’s. It was the year 1679 when Swizz physician, Bonet, defined the disease as “voluminous lungs.” About a century later Italian anatomist, Giovanni Morgagni, termed cases of the lungs as “turgid.” A series of illustrations of the emphysematous lung putting forth the pathology of the disease was published by Baillie in 1789, thus emphysema was known to be a part of COPD early one (Mandal 2013). Over the years, Chronic Bronchitis became…
