First, hematotoxicity is the study of blood and blood-forming tissues as a target organ for drugs or different chemicals. It is the toxic effect that the substance has on the properties or components of blood. Additionally, other factors to include when determining toxicity are stress, exercise, and ionizing radiation. Furthermore, blood and hematopoietic tissue are target organs for scrutiny and the study in preclinical and clinical safety evaluations. There are several methods that…

routine checkup; their labs usually show an increased amount of blood cells of all types. The patient’s hemoglobin the day of clinical was 8.8; his platelets were 641. Ultrasonography is a type of diagnostic tool used to screen for any type of tumors that may have precipitated the illness. The most common types that cause polycythemia are kidney and liver tumors. The kidneys produce erythropoietin; these are what generates red blood cells. The liver and spleen are affected by this too, and…

potentially causing the infection. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan may also be performed by the clinician. A CT scan is capable of showing much more detail than a typical x-ray, furthermore can confirm irregularities that were present on the x-ray. Blood oxygen levels can also be measured by clinicians with a finger clip. This test is referred to as pulse oximetry. If an individual has pneumonia, it is very difficult for their lungs to oxygenate the bloodstream (transfer oxygen from the…

are. While reading about hemochromatosis, I found it interesting that bloodletting, a practice used for all diseases, actually helped people with hemochromatosis, instead of harming them. Typically, a patient that bled would die from infection or blood loss. In people with hemochromatosis, if helped to relieve their symptoms. Scientists would definitely make the most out of this diseases by transferring certain DNA codes and putting it in all humans, not just those with the mutation. This way,…

in movement. The bones also store most of the calcium in the human body. It holds red bone marrow in the spongy bone where red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which is called hemopoiesis (Tortora, GJ., & Derrickson B., 2000, pg. 170). In every part of the body, infection and breaks occur, including this one. Osteochondritis dissecans is the loss of blood supply in part of a bone under the surface of a joint. This is a tiny fracture on the surface of the cartilage caused by…

happens in order to balance the concentration of solutions on either side of the membrane. An example of osmosis can be observed by placing a red blood cell into a solution. if the concentration of the solution the red blood cell is placed into has a higher concentration the water from the inside of the cell will move out. The water moves out of the cell in order to dilute the solution making it less concentrated. In this experiment ,my group members and I used 0.04 M of a…

Even today, we see adaptations that may affect someone in your own family. In central Africa, those who carry the sickle-cell gene in populations that are exposed to malaria are immune to the sickness. Another most common is lactose production. Populations with a long history of cattle herding and milk consumption, metabolize lactose is maintained into adulthood. When we…

reduction in the hemoglobin and hematocrit affects the body defense mechanism, the body immunity becomes compromised, and some internal organs over work in compensation for the lack of oxygen resulting in anemia. Anemia is noted when the amount of red blood cells in our body decreases, as well as reduction in the number of the hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. The four classifications of anemia are, microcytic, macrocytic, normocytic, and hemolytic anemia. (Buttarro, Trybulski, Polgar Bailey,…

Athletes have expectations to live up to. Yes some drugs are used to increase the amount of red blood cells to enhance performances but just like any other drug, they ruin lives, virally predominately. It is no different to sport, as soon as that drug comes up on the blood test it goes viral. Within seconds the life of a famous sportsman that was an inspiration and a role model to many people has changed immensely and no one will ever look…
