Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is not contagious and cannot be caught from someone else. It is a group of disorders that affect the production of blood cells in the bone marrow. MDS is usually not inherited and is more common in older adults.
Hemolytic anemia results from the accelerated breakdown of red blood cells, leading to a deficiency of these cells in the bloodstream. The causes of hemolytic anemia can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic factors include genetic disorders like sickle cell anemia or enzyme deficiencies such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Extrinsic factors encompass autoimmune disorders where the immune system mistakenly targets and destroys red blood cells, infections like malaria or bacterial infections, exposure to toxins or certain medications, and mechanical factors such as prosthetic heart valves or conditions causing microangiopathic hemolytic anemia.
Also, to learn more about the cause treatment and related concepts of pathology, one should go for this online course - Pathology for UnderGrads by Prof Harsh Mohan, Prof Ramadas Nayak, and Dr Debasis Gochhait on DigiNerve.
This course is extremely helpful for providing in-depth knowledge with enhanced understanding and conceptual clarity through its detailed video lectures and concise notes accompanying every topic.
Self-assessment questions are also included in this course for the self-evaluation of students.
Moreover, this course aids in preparing not only for university exams but also for the NEET exam.
Aplastic anemia is a rare but serious blood disorder characterized by a deficiency of blood cell production in the bone marrow. In individuals with aplastic anemia, the bone marrow fails to adequately produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This deficiency can lead to various complications, such as anemia (low red blood cell count), increased susceptibility to infections (due to low white blood cell count), and a higher risk of bleeding or easy bruising (due to low platelet count).
The exact cause of aplastic anemia is often unknown, but it can be acquired or inherited. Acquired aplastic anemia may result from exposure to certain toxins, radiation, medications, or viral infections that damage the bone marrow.
To learn more about these and other concepts of pathology, one should consider opting for this online course - Pathology for UnderGrads on DigiNerve. This online series is facilitated by Prof. Harsh Mohan, Prof. Ramadas Nayak, and Dr. Debasis Gochhait.
With its well-elaborated video lectures and concise notes, it provides in-depth knowledge with enhanced understanding and conceptual clarity.
Self-assessment questions are also included for self-evaluating your learning.
Apart from this, case-based discussions for every topic are added which helps a lot in every aspect and memorizing the concepts.
It is VERY important that your pet go to a vet experienced with this disease. There are various forms of treatment including drugs like prednisone or anti cancer drugs. Sometimes blood transfusions are necessary. This is a lfe threatening disease and veterinary care is essential in your pets health.
Foods good for anemia contains edible iron compound in a form that can be absorbed from the intestines. Two less known sources are: *.1. Greens (green leafy vegetables). Of this the maximum iron content is in the leaves of cauliflower (usually these leaves are thrown away for the goats; though it makes for delicious cooked vegetable.) *.2. Drumsticks - Other - Top Ten Iron-Rich Foods 1. clams, cooked, 2. tofu, 3. raisin bran, 4. sirloin steak 5. shrimp, 6. black beans, 7. chickpeas, 8. turkey breast 9. bread, whole wheat, 10. chicken breast, skinless, Note *.Iron from Spinach is not absorbed due to Oxalic acid. *.Liver contains rich vitamin A, which is not good for the fetus, hence pregnant mothers beware. *.Vitamin C aids absorption of Iron so drinking lemon juice or orange juice with iron rich food is beneficial.
The toilet is the lowest point, fluids seeks the lowest level, other sewage is coming up through your basement toilet. The system might be installed wrong or there is a blockage in some discharge pipes. Call a plumber, it can be really bad, when I was a kid we had our whole basement flooded with two feet of raw sewage after a big rain storm.
it only smells bad if you have a yeast infection....go see your dr.
There are 3 types of Livestock anemia. Infectious anemia, Nutrition anemia, and bovine anemia. Bovine anemia is found mostly in cows.
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
1) Blood loss (including ulcers)
2) Inability to produce new red blood cells. For their production, you need folic acid and B12, not just iron.
3) Illness. Some illnesses (such as cancer, diabetes, kidney or spleen disease, and AIDS) destroy red blood cells.
Peope with sickle cell disease suffer from pain crisis in arms,legs or ,chest. Well at least my daughter do. It is painful and she has to be admitted to hospital and receive morphine and. Iv fluids to relieve pain.
anemia is a blood disorder. there are many types all of which are to do with blood. It is treated differently compared to the severeness of it. you can have blood transplants, bone marrow transfusions... yeh
There Are Lots Of Stuff That Smell Nice.Exsample

once youdidn't get it from birth, then it is not possible to get it when you grown up, but if you want to protect your future children not get the disease than it is better not to married from sickle cell disease man
In about 15% of cases, the baby is severely affected and dies before birth. Babies who survive pregnancy may develop kernicterus, which can lead to deafness, speech problems, cerebral palsy, or mental retardation.
People who have sickle cell should try to avoid consuming alcohol if at all possible. This is because sickle cell causes the patient to become dehydrated in the first place, so drinking alcohol would only exacerbate the problem.
Hemophiliacs have normal platelet counts, they bleed because their clotting factors (proteins made by the livers created to help our blood clot when we are bleeding) level is less than 1% vs normal non bleeders @ 50%-100% Hemophiliacs are missing either Factor VIII or Factor IX in their blood (for Hemophilia A or B, respectively). It is due to a defective gene located on the X chromosome. The defect causes the liver (where clotting factors are made) to not produce the needed clotting factors etc
A person with abnormally low platelets is completely different situation/condition called thrombocytopenia and has different signs and symptoms from clotting factor problems like hemophilia.
Now, in contrast, anemia is having too few red blood cells (the cells that make blood red and carry oxygen to all of the cells and tissues in the body) circulating in the bloodstream. It is possible to have both anemia and a hemophilia, to have one without the other, or to have neither one.
Red Blood Cells. It is called
sickle cell because some of the red blood cells
are long and shaped like sickles. Although sickle
cell disease primarily affects African Americans,
it is also found in Hispanics, Italians, Greeks and
people of Mediterranean descent.

A three year old child needs 11.1-13 grams of Hemoglobin per deciliter.

no it dose not sickle cell anemia causes death only if African Americans
As you already must know Sickle Cell disease is genetic, but the GOOD NEWS is there is no known risk that babies may develop sickle cell disease.
It's a good idea to first check with a genetic specialist and make your decision from there.
Good luck!
