Von Willebrand Disorder, abbreviated as VWD, is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. Erik von Willebrand, a Finnish scientist, first discovered it in the 1920s. Carried on the twelfth chromosome, von Willebrand causes excessive bleeding (National Hemophilia). Patients with VWD form blood clots slower, resulting in prolonged bleeding. As a lifelong condition without a cure, it can come with serious health hazards. Roughly one percent of the U.S. population, or one out of one hundred to a thousand people, have this ailment. However, other bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia, occur mainly in males, VWD affects both men and women equally. Despite who it affects, the cause behind this disorder lays on the shoulders of one specific gene, …show more content…
The severity of symptoms does not depend on the type of VWD a patient has; although, the intensity of signs does vary from person to person (Introduction). The most common sign of this disease, excessive or abnormal bleeding, is often overlooked as a symptom. Abnormal bleeding consists of: blood in urine or stool, bleeding from shaving with a razor or a comparable injury, frequent and lengthy nosebleeds, bleeding from the gums, increased menstrual flow, and excessive bleeding from a cut or following a tooth extraction or other dental procedures. Severe enough bleeding can threaten a patient’s life if doctors can control the blood loss. Though rare, internal organs and joint damage can occur from serious bleeding (Facts about). Some patients may not realize their condition until experiencing excessive bleeding after a surgical procedure or serious trauma. Another sign, frequent and easy bruising, can come from minor bumps or injuries. These bruises may develop small lumps under the skin. More severe symptoms include spontaneous bleeding in both soft tissue and joints. Signs in women and men
Aaron Maybin and Peyton Manninng have been idealistic all through their careers. Both athletes were constantly positive and confident about one-self. Manning never surrendered, in the wake of experiencing harsh times and wounds people would think he would return unproductive. As indicated by the first article, paragraph 7, "Few expected him to return to greatness after the 2011 neck surgery.... Instead, Manning went 50-15 in Denver, won his 5th MVP and broke numerous records." Manning did not permit something little to cut him down, rather he was positive towards it and accomplished more greatness. Aaron Maybin likewise was confident and certain when he deserted the NFL.

The person I am doing for my essay is Wesley Isenhour (my dad). He has a wife named Liane and two kids named Macy and Maddy. He works for the United States postal service and does reviews on post offices all around North Carolina. The reason I chose my dad is because he always makes people smile and makes everyone's day better. He is one of the best people in my life and is always there for me. I hope you enjoy my essay on Wesley Isenhour.
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease in which blood lacks blood-clotting proteins. Females have two X chromosomes, indicating that they are generally carriers and transmit the gene to their sons. People with mild hemophilia bleed after surgery, injury, or trauma. Severe hemophilia produces spontaneous internal bleeding in joints and muscles. Fortunately, medicines and lifestyle changes offers hemophiliacs fairly normal lives. Through learning about hemophilia, I became interested in genetic diseases and finding a cure for those
The Van Wagenen House has been known to be one of the most famous and historical homes in all of New Jersey due to its rich history. As you drive down this road, you might just observe this house as an average two-story building made out of beige and ruby red colored bricks, but in reality, this house is actually a blessing in disguise. The Van Wagenen House is located near Bergen Square, Jersey City, and was constructed in 1750. The most fascinating fact about why this house gained fame is because in 1779, this gorgeous sight was a meeting site for George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette. That’s right, I’m talking about our first president and Marquis de Lafayette, a French aristocrat and military officer who fought in the American

Samuel Willenberg, the last survivor of Treblinka, the Nazi death camp where 875,000 people were murdered including his two sisters, has died in Israel at the age of 93. Treblinka is unlike other camps where some Jews were assigned to work before being killed. Nearly all Jews brought to Treblinka were immediately gassed. Usually only young men like Willenberg, who was 20 at the time were spared from immediate death and were told to work instead.
I would like to tell you a bit about myself: I am a social person, who loves to help. I try to invest in the studies as much as I can, yet I also work to provide for myself. In the future, I would like to work in the field of medicine, and in the army I would like to serve in the border guard unit.

I’m charging Erik Jensen as a youth and will be found guilty for tampering with evidence. He will be sentenced with conditional discharge ,Judicial reprimand and contributing to community services . Erik didn’t kill anybody but he was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Since he did participate in getting rid of evidence without getting help from the police , he should be punished. Having him being sentenced with conditional he will have to attend school everyday for one year, to help reintegrate to society. Giving Erik a Judicial reprimand rehabilitating him by understand his consequences and bad decisions . Also Erik has to commit to 120 hours of community work . I think these sentences will punish him enough as

My honest reaction to Charles Van Doren pretending to know the answers on a television show but was in fact given the answers is that it doesn't surprise me that the game show was rigged. Television networks want ratings; all that ever seems to matter anymore is money. I think Charles Van Doren did what most people would have done if given the opportunity. By partaking in being coached, he became a celebrity, walked away a large amount of money, and was provided with opportunities he may have never had available to him without his new found celebrity.
