chronic blistering on the exposed areas of the skin with itching and swelling of the skin. Acute porphyria can develop quickly and last for days and for weeks. Other symptoms are abdominal pain, often severe, chest pain, increased heart rate and blood pressure, muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting and constipation, and some urinary retention with the urine becoming red or brown in color. On the more extreme side of the effects of some porphyrias are symptoms such as seizures, increased hair growth…

Sickle Cell Anemia: Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is the most common and severe form of sickle cell disease, and is caused by a genetic mutation that results in an abnormal formation of hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. SCA is an autosomal recessive disease, and the individual can inherit the hemoglobin S gene from both parents. Sometimes, an individual can inherit this gene from one parent and have a normal hemoglobin gene from other parents, and are called sickle cell trait. Individuals with sickle…

Aagenaes syndrome is a syndrome that portray by congenital hypoplasia of lymph vessels. This causes lymphedema of the legs and recurrent cholestasis in infancy. This also causes slow progress to hepatic cirrhosis and giant cell hepatitis with fibrosis of the portal tracks. The genetic cause is unknown, but it is inherited in some way in the chromosomes that it is located in. People who have this suffer severe neonatal cholestasis, but this usually lessons during child hood. After the childhood…

Plasmodium parasites that can be deadly (Lee, 2018). Sickle cell anemia is a form of anemia where an abnormal hemoglobin changes the shape of the red blood cells. Whether or not you have sickle-cell depends on your genotype. Individuals who have the genotype AA (HbA) have "normal" blood and no mutations which can lead them to contracting malaria more easily because they don't have protection. People with the AS genotype, (HbA & HbS) have the sickle cell trait because they have one normal…

He seemed a bit serious and my mom does not hesitate to ask how was I doing. He looks at my mom and tells her that they have found something within the blood test they took from me. All of the sudden he starts talking about white blood cells, red blood cells, and immune system and that’s when I was completely lost. I was only 9 years old, I had never heard of such things and well they were never explained to me until my life started changing. This…

Malaria is one of the most prominent public health epidemic worldwide. It’s the leading cause of death and disease effecting half of the world’s population. According to World Health Origination (2013) 3.2 billion people live in areas at risk of malaria transmission in 106 countries and territories. Vulnerable populations such as rural poor, young children and expecting women who are more exposed to infection with the least access to services are at elevated risk for transmission of this deadly…

Sickle Cell Anemia Dakoda Howard Indiana State University Pathophysiology 11/10/2016 Abstract The aim of this paper is to help individuals who do not understand or want to better their knowledge in Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA). SCA is commonly referred to as Sickle Cell Disease or SDA. The area of target is a general overview of that SCA, along with the various amounts of complications that can arise when someone has the disease. The paper will go over some of the more life threatening…

Haemoglobin is made up of globular protein and an iron- rich compound known as haem. It is found in red blood cells and is involved in the transport of oxygen around the body. Red blood cells do not have a nucleus, increasing the amount of space for haemoglobin. There are approximately 300 million haemoglobin molecules in each red blood cells. The structure of haemoglobin enables it to carry oxygen with high efficiency. It has a quaternary structure made up of four globin subunits, most commonly…

CONCENTRATION Introduction Red blood cells contain the protein molecule haemoglobin (Hb); it is made up of four polypeptide chains and contains iron. Its function is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the bodies tissue and to carry carbon dioxide from tissue back to the lungs. Anaemia can be caused when there is a lack of iron in the body which leads to a reduction in the number of red blood cells. Iron is used to carry oxygen in the blood so If you have fewer red blood cells than is normal, your…

cinchonas in South America. They grow in the tropical Central and South America such as Peru, Costa Rica and Bolivia. However, this medicine can be life-threatening because it can causes blood problems, long-lasting kidney problems. There are also many side effects from taking quinine. It can include, coughing up blood, blood in urine, chest pain, hearing loss and loss of eyesight. This could be the reason why it contributes to the deaths and cases of malaria. In India, quinine cost only $22.34…
