Summary Introduction

To determine:

Does injecting synthetic EPO is differing, in a fundamental way from transfusing red blood cells taken from one’s own blood.

Introduction:

Erythropoietin is a naturally occurring protein hormone and is produced in the body by the kidneys and is used to regulate red blood cell production. Patients suffering from anemia are legally allowed to use this medically.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

How different training methods affect the fairness of sporting competitions.

Introduction:

The written and unwritten rules are the building blocks of fair play and they should be followed on the field as well as during training also. Fair sports competitions respect sports, and unfair practices must not occur in competitions.

Which of the folloqing statements about BPG and its effect on oxygen transport is NOT true?     BPG binds more tightly to adult Hb than fetal Hb, thus facilitating the O2 transfer to the fetus.      An initial reponse in adapting to higher altitude is increased BPG synthesis in erythrocites. This increase in BPG  concentraton will shift the Hb saturation curve to a higher affinity position relative to its sea-level position, facilitating better O2 aborption and transport at higher altitudes.     The presence of BPG in mammalian erythrocytes decreases Hb affinity for O2       BPG binds Hb in its central cavity in the R-state but not in the T-state, and in this way decreasing Hb affinity for O2     BPG binds Hb in its central cavity in the T-state but not in the R-state, and in this way decreasing Hb affinity for O2
It is not usually necessary to assess arterial blood gases when diagnosing and treating asthma. However, this information can sometimes be useful in severe asthma attacks. Suppose that a patient had a PO2 of 60mm hg and a PCo2 of 30mm hg when the patient first went to the emergency room. Explain how that could happen.
Training in a barocamera with reduced content of oxygen in air is necessary for pilots. As a result of it the increased quantity of erythrocytes and hemoglobin in blood appears in 2 weeks, which testifies about the stimulation of erythropoiesis by erythropoietins. The erythropoietins formation increases under the appearance of 1. hypertonia 2. hypercapnia 3. hypoxemia 4. hyperosmia 5. hypervolemia
