Investigating haemoglobin (Hb) concentration in blood samples using the haemoglobincyanide method and in foetal haemoglobin samples Introduction The aim of this experiment was to determine the concentration of haemoglobin in an unknown blood sample using the haemoglobincyanide method and to adapt this method to determine percentage haemoglobin F (foetal haemoglobin) in an unknown sample, and to understand the relevance of these tests in the calculation of Hb concentration. Haemoglobin is a protein
of a child’s life may raise the risk of type 1 diabetes developing (Mandal). Diagnosis for an asymptomatic patient requires 2 abnormal test results, which the tests can be HbA1c, random plasma glucose, and fasting plasma glucose. Diagnosis for a patient with classic symptoms of hyperglycemia can be made with a single random plasma glucose result of 200 mg/dL or higher (Group). Patients with type 1 diabetes most commonly present as hyperglycemic without acidosis and with abrupt onset of symptoms
Thalassaemia is an anaemic blood disorder caused by inherited deficiency of alpha- or beta-globin synthesis in the production of haemoglobin, a major constituent of erythrocytes (Mosby 2012 p.1760). Although the disorder is now known to affect many individuals and has a vast global distribution, the word ‘thalassaemia’ originally derived from Greek roots for ‘the sea’ and ‘blood’, under the mistaken belief that it was confined to the Mediterranean region (Weatherall 2001, p.1). The disorder was discovered
PBL Write up: Acid-Base This document aims to explain the function of the acid-base equilibrium in place in the human body and to identify potential problems that may occur. Theses processes are tightly linked with the control of fluid levels in the body, this relationship and the function of the water homeostasis system will also be explored. The aim of this write up is to display a full understanding of the learning objectives developed in the PBL session. However by adhering to the original learning

Discussion/Conclusion- (25 Marks) Discuss the results that you have collated giving a possible clinical scenario for each patient AND HOW YOU ARRIVED AT THIS CONCLUSION (Including
signs and symptoms (just like how Venezuela people did )mainly to the illiterate people, then others and one thing we should do is that we should conduct a free diabetes check-up for children as well as for elders. Foreigner children should have a control on their diet; they should not take much sugar. If parents of children see any problem or change in their behavior they should immediately take them to the doctor. In foreign countries the treating method of any disease is very good as their medical

proteins etc., which play critical roles in many physiological processes in the central nervous system (CNS). CSF is considered a prime reservoir for neurological studies because the content of proteins and metabolites and the changes in their concentrations directly reflect the internal milieu of the brain: it offers a unique window to search for new biomarkers and to improve early diagnosis of neurological diseases [1-3]. However, the complexities of the brain and human neurological disorders represent
cells and keeping the nervous system healthy, it also releases energy from the food we eat and helps to process folic acid. It can be found in meat, fish such as salmon, cod and dairy products such as milk, cheese, eggs and some fortified breakfast cereals. A lack of this vitamin can lead to vitamin B12 anaemia. Adults need around 0.0015mg of vitamin B12 each day. Vitamin C – this is also known as ascorbic acid. It helps to protect cells and keep them healthy; it is also involved in wound healing
later stages of life (Larsson, 2007). These statistic are shown to increase significantly as those who smoke age with approximately 50% of smokers diagnosed with COPD by the age of 75 (Larsson, 2007). It has been found that 90% of chronic bronchitis patients have developed the disease because of a long-standing history of tobacco smoking (TXT). Other important factors include air pollution, occupational hazards, advanced age, airway hyper-responsiveness, diet, alcohol consumption and heredity (Edelman
