Minimising Errors Triplet codes are a sequence of three nucleotides on a DNA or an RNA molecule which codes for a specific amino acid. For example, CAG codes for the amino acid Glutamine and TAT codes for the amino acid Tyrosine. A codon is the base triplets on the mRNA. Each is a copy of the base triplets on the DNA coding strand but in place of the base thymine there is the base uracil (1). Anticodon is a complimentary sequence to the codon base triplets found in mRNA (it is a mirror image).

At all stages of MM, from diagnosis, remission, relapse to refractory, patients will face a high burden of biopsychosocial impacts. MM is characterised by the formation of tumours as a result of the overproduction and accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow and on surfaces of various bones the body (Barber & Mullen, 2017; Dowling, Kelly, & Meenaghan, 2016). Consequently, these tumours causes the inhibition of osteoblasts and elevation of osteoclasts (Silbermann & Roodman, 2013)

a happy family, in which they wanted to have only one son. After one year of their marriage, god blessed them with one, whom they name Charlie. Unfortunately, Charlie was diagnosed with a life threatening blood condition known as Diamond Blackfan Anaemia. The Whitakers thought that the only solution to cure their one beloved son was to have a sibling, a donor for Charlie. After the success of the Nash’s family, they were encouraged to screen embryos to give birth to a healthy child that would be

At all stages of MM, from treatment, relapse, remission to refractory, patients will face a high burden of biopsychosocial impacts. MM is characterised by the formation of tumours as a result of the overproduction and accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow and other surfaces of bones in various parts of the body (Barber & Mullen, 2017; Dowling, Kelly, & Meenaghan, 2016). Consequently, these tumours causes the inhibition of osteoblasts and elevation of osteoclasts (Silbermann &

Geophagia denotes the habit of deliberately ingesting earth, soil or clay. Based on different viewpoints geophagia has been regarded as a psychiatric disease, a culturally sanctioned practice or a sequel to poverty and famine. The standard reference guide for psychiatrists—the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV)—classifies geophagia as a form of pica –the Latin word for magpie, a bird known for its large and indiscriminate appetite.

From the above images it is clear that beef is high in protein which contain essential amino acids in which we cannot produce and need to get from our diet, protein is needed for growth maintenance, repair of the body and can also provide some energy. On average red meat 20-24g protein per 100g raw and when cooked meats contain 27-35g per 100g cooked. In the pictures of the packet of mince we see there is 19g protein per 100g. The protein content of the meat increases because when meat is cooked

Spleen Interesting facts: • In a foetus, the spleen produces RBCs Before a baby is born, the task of producing red blood cells rests with the spleen. As birth approaches, the spleen gradually stops doing this and allows the bone marrow to take over. • About 10% of humans have a second spleen About 10% of the human population has a much smaller second spleen also known as an accessory spleen. It is a small portion of splenic tissue that exists separately. • Humans can survive without a spleen Humans

Ludwig Hunefeld many years later confirm these findings and chemically split the blood pigments into two components. A protein structure known as globulin and a red compound with iron oxide known as haem. This was the beginning of iron therapy for anaemia. It was Hopp Seyler that called the term haemoglobin in 1862 and determine its structure for further studies. In this research paper, it will discuss the importance roles haemoglobin play in the physical structure. It will explore the importance of

Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disease that is common in African Americans. This disease arises from a single base-pair substitution of thymine for adenine and this makes valine in its place of glutamine in the sixth position of the Beta-globin molecule. When this swap occurs in a homozygous state and this is the sickle cell disease. Clinical signs result from polymerization of the abnormal haemoglobin and the sickling of cells. (Thompson, 2010) The case study

Blood transfusion is the process of transferring blood from one person, which is the donor, to another person, which is the recipient. The earliest research of blood transfusion started in the 17th century, a British physician named William Harvey discovered the circulation and properties of blood, which then inspired others to operate blood transfusions. This led to the first successful blood transfusion in 1665, which was performed by Richard Lower in England. He managed to save a severely injured
