located behind the stomach in front of ones spine. It produce juice that breaks down food and hormones that control blood sugar levels. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura also known as ITP is a “bleeding disorder where ones immune system destroy your platelets, whose function is to help wounds heal and prevent bleeding by forming blood…

into an assortment of cells in the body, similar to the ones recorded over, a liver cell, a bone cell, pluripotent foundational microorganism, platelet, and fat cell. The body utilizes undeveloped cell to supplant caution out cells when they bite the dust. Everything in the body is comprised of cells, hair, nails, bones, muscles, organs, and even platelets. These cells have a similar DNA while the arrangements of this DNA…

newest techniques employed by Dr. Keith Berman is platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections for hair loss. Over the years, PRP therapy has proven beneficial in the healing process and has played a key role in many types of maxillofacial and plastic surgery. Common to all PRP procedures, the first step in treating hair loss using PRP is harvesting platelets and platelet growth factors from the patient’s blood. By processing patient blood to boost platelet concentration significantly above baseline…

biopsy, and this was negative for any malignancy. There was (a lymphocytosis), but flow cytometry did not identify any malignant forms. Fortunately, no evidence of leukemia or lymphoma were identified. At the time the bone marrow was done, her platelet count had dropped significantly to 27,000. It had been over 300,000. The bone marrow showed normal levels of (megakaryocytes) suggesting a peripheral destruction. Blood studies were performed including serum protein electrophoresis,…

Components Of Blood Blood is a specialized body fluid. It has five main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood has many different functions, transporting oxygen and nutrients to the lungs and tissues, forming blood clots to prevent excess blood loss, carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection, bringing waste products to the kidneys and liver, which filter and clean the blood, and regulating body temperature. The blood that runs through the veins,…

and Nelson, 2015). Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a subtype of this disease and is most common in older adults, specifically males 65 and older (Turbeville, 2014). In AML, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells, red blood cells, or platelets (Hasserjian, 2013). This paper will first briefly describe the function of the cardiovascular system, explain how leukemia affects this system, and cover the risk factors, prevalence, diagnoses, signs and symptoms, prevention, and treatment…

The structure of the blood is as follows: Four major parts Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. What is plasma it is made up of water 90%-92%? The fluid is the color as straw. The function of the blood system is to transport the dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide it rids the body of water products. The other thing that it transports is hormones, enzymes, nutrients like glucose, amino acids, micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. Then we…

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many immature lymphocytes (a type of whit blood cell). Leukemia may affect red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Past treatment for cancer and certain genetic conditions affect the risk of having childhood all. Signs of childhood all include fever and bruising. Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow are used to detect and diagnose childhood all. Certain factors affect prognosis…

live within produce hematopoietic stem cells that mature to become different components of blood: erythrocytes, neutrophils, monocytes and platelets (Saba et. al, 2007). Osteocytes that have undergone mutations produce a different kind of stem cell. Only a small fraction of these stem cells are able to mature into functioning Erythrocytes, Neutrophils and Platelets (Jiang et. al, 2009). The deficiencies in Erythrocytes make the patient very tired and susceptible to Anemias. The patient may…

Hemophilia is a genetic blood disease, which is symbolized by the importance of blood to clot, or compact even from inconsequential damage. Blood clotting and sudden gene mutation factor in the development of this disease. This disease is generated by an inadequacy of blood multifaceted called factors Therefore, with the nonappearance of factors, the blood clotting process is continued. There are two different types of Hemophilia, Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. for example. Hemophilia A, the…
