White blood cell

Anemia is a condition that occurs when an individual’s blood does not have enough hemoglobin or red blood cells. Hemoglobin is the main foundation of a red blood cell. It helps sustain it by binding it to oxygen. If one does not have enough red blood cells, the cells within one’s body will not receive the sufficient amount of oxygen it needs to function properly. Anemia can be caused by several factors since there are more than a single type of anemic conditions. Therefore these conditions are…

cause to permanent disability in the world” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The lymphatic system plays a major role to our immune system. Lymph is created from the lymphatic system which contain lymphocytes and white blood cells which as we know white blood cells are key to fighting off infections of any sort.

Some researchers believe that Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that attacks the precise cells in the pancreas that are responsible for the production of insulin. But, diabetes doesn’t attack or target any specific organ. Diabetes is just the relationship between the body and glucose. Glucose is the body’s fuel essential for the body’s survival.

Landsteiner . Rh blood group is the most complex genetic of all blood type system, because it hooks 45 different surface antigen on the surface of the red cells that are controlled by two closely linked genes on chromosome 1. The antiserum for blood sample was the outcome results of the research that was done on the rhesus monkeys which lead to the naming of the Rh system. (Oneil, 31-07-2015) The RH factor works in a certain way, when the antiserum agglutinate your red cells you are Rh…

Sickle Cell Anemia India is one of the biggest countries with a population of 1.3 billion, but with a high population comes a high percentage in disease specifically sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia’s history goes as far back as 1846, since numerous discoveries have been made in understanding how sickle cell manifests. Therefore Dr. Herrick in 1910 was the first to distinguish the “pelicular elongated and sickle shaped” platelets (Vasaikar, 2015). While in 1949 sickle cell was identified…

I can say this is an ethical issue as she knew she was taking something that was not allowed and that her competitor weren 't allowed…

Haemoglobinopathies Bain (2011) defined Haemoglobinopathies as diseases caused by inherited globin synthesis disorders and thus affects the haemoglobin protein of the blood and its function. It can be argued that haemoglobinopathies are the most common gene recessive disorders in the world (Streetly and Dick 2005). In Australia, the increase of cases with haemoglobinopathies disorder is due to immigration of ethnicities that belongs in the risk list (Metcalfe, Barrow-Stewart and Campbell 2007).…

In addition, Savulescu argued that WADA banned meldonium because it was a new drug and artificial. An example that shows WADA had a natural bias was when it banned Erythropoietin, which is unnatural. Meanwhile hypoxic air tents, which is similar to blood doping, is not on the banned substances list. A study on meldonium conducted by Christian Gorgens and his colleague showed meldonium had an effect on the endurance performance of athletes and also improved rehabilitation after…
