Platelet

known to be the cancer of the blood. It starts in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is where blood cells are made. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Leukocytes (white blood cells) help the body fight infection. Platelets are cells that help your blood clot when there is a damaged blood vessel. When a person has leukemia, the bone marrow starts to make a lot of abnormal leukocytes which are called leukemia cells. Leukemia cells don't do the same work a normal…

o Should be performed if patient shows signs of decreased neurological function Laboratory  Complete blood count (CBC) o Increased WBC count will could indicate presence of indicate infection o Hematocrit and Low platelets will indicatecould result in further risk of hemorrhage  Prothombin time o To assccess bleeding risk o INR >1.4 puts patient at increased risk of deterioration and mortality3  Blood glucose to assess for…

The management and treatment options for lung cancer depend on the type and staging of the actual cancer. Typically, a thoracic surgeon is consulted to evaluate a patient with this form of diagnosis. Different forms of surgical interventions are available depending on the clinical presentation of the tumor. If surgery is warranted, the goal is to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue if affected by cancer. Surgical options available to aid in eradicating lung cancer include a lobectomy,…

Hematology Assignment 1 Name: Asenaca Matameli Student ID: s160177 Hematology Case 3-2 Answers: 1) Fred G, the 22 year old white man has leukocytosis as his White blood cell (WBC) count is increased (16.5×10^9/L) as shown in the Complete Blood Count results. This raises the intuition of blunt trauma and it is also an initial marker of injury along with physical exam. Leukocytosis in trauma is however due to neutrophilia as seen in this patient having a high neutrophil count. Increased in…

such as lifting a finger. Every single movement in the body is enabled by the bones and muscles. Hemopoiesis is the process of producing blood cells. Hemopoiesis occurs in red bone marrow that contains stem cells which form the new blood cells and platelets. Bones store and reserve calcium and phosphate. Eventually, the bones release the calcium and the phosphate. Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a major role in functions such as muscle contraction, blood clotting, and nerve signal…

Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that affects red blood cells. The sickle cell gene inherited form both parents causes the production of structurally abnormal hemoglobin, clinical known as hemoglobin S, which cluster together, causing red blood cells to become rigid and develop a crescent shape. These sickled cells become trapped in small blood vessel and block them, reducing blood and oxygen flow in many parts of the body, and leading to tissue and organ damage.…

parts shown in a regular blood test report. The first section is the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test. This test gives us information about the types of cells and the amount of cells in our blood. Our blood has red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The CBC test includes red blood (RBC) count. Oxygen is transported from lungs to the entire body while carbon dioxide is transported back to the…

appear. Accumulations in the bone marrow can cause pain and destroy bone. Major signs and symptoms include enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), a low number of red blood cells (anemia), easy bruising caused by a decrease in blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), lung disease, and bone abnormalities such as bone pain, fractures, and arthritis. As for protein, insects and other invertebrates are good sources. The dry weight of grasshoppers consists of roughly 50 to 75 percent…

Advocacy and Its Role in Cultural Diversity Tenia Madison Ohio University Ethical dilemmas may arise when caring for diverse populations. Different cultures have their own beliefs and values that can influence health decisions and behaviors. The purpose of this paper is to examine an ethical dilemma that I have encountered during my practice. Then I will describe the perception of the dilemma by presenting both sides of the issue and any conflicting values and beliefs. Finally, I…

Subdural haematoma (SDH) is a type of focal brain injury which consists of contusions and bleeding (Sawauchi & Abe, 2008). Contusions and bleeding occur from small tears in blood vessels which are commonly caused by external forces such as vehicular accidents and falls (Craft et al., 2015). Subdural haematoma can be described as an extra cerebral blood collection which is located between the dura mater and the middle layer of the meninges (Iliescu, 2015). The development of haematoma does not…
