Cell disease

The genetic disease sickle cell anemia is a very fascinating disease. I was glad and beyond astonished on how this genetic disease was discovered, described, treated, and all the obstacles the carrier had to weave through each and every day. Sickle cell anemia is actually carried on the 11th chromosome. Chromosome 11 codes for the beta subunit of the hemoglobin protein. As a result, since the chromosome is damaged it cannot produce hemoglobin for the cell causing the cell to form into a “C” or sickle

Sickle Cell Anemia is a genetic disorder dealing with the hemoglobin within the red blood cells the individual has hemoglobin S (1). This causes the red blood cell to become gelatinous when deoxygenated (2). The Sickle Cell gene needs to be inhered from both of the parents; otherwise the individual will only carry the Sickle Cell trait. If the sickle cell trait is carried by an individual they can be asymptomatic. This individual can, however, transfer the gene abnormality to any offspring that they

the worst possible shape for your blood cells, because they can 't do their job unless they 're round. According to cdc.gov, “Sickle cell disease is the most common genetic disorder in the United States and About 100,000 Americans are thought to be living with sickle cell disease, and every year another 1,000 babies are born with the disease.” II. Topic: The purpose of the topic sickle cell is to inform some of the many issues that come with being a sickle cell carrier whether its mild or severe. III

Ojong Bate “Coping strategies and techniques amongst people living with sickle cell Disease” Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the many chronic health conditions yet to be well understood by health care professionals; hematologists included. It is an inherited genetic condition characterized by sickled shaped red blood cells, which alter their oxygen carring capacity. Sickle cell disease is passed from parents to offspring and it is characterized by numerous complications such

Scientist explained the difference between Sickle Cell Disease in Africa to Sickle Cell Disease in United States by showing how common this disease is in Africa than it is in the United States. Scientist believe that in Africa there is a fatal form of malaria that occurs in Africa. People who have homozygous for the normal allele for hemoglobin often die of malaria. But people who have sickle cell trait don’t come in contact with the fatal form of malaria. Then more heterozygous live then people

CELL ASSIGNMENT PART C CELL TYPE - WHITE BLOOD CELL/LEUKOCYTES DISEASE - LEUKEMIA Discovery of leukemia Who discovered leukemia – John Bunnett, Alfred Velpeau, Alfred Donne and Rudolf Virchow were the four me who discovered this disease When was leukemia discovered – It was discovered in 1845 but not given its name until 1847 in which Rudolf Virchow gave it the name leukemia Where was leukemia discovered – Symptoms of leukemia (signs) Common symptoms - Fever or chills

However, the use of adult stem cells is proving to be an extremely effective method to cure a wide range of medical disorders. While little funding is available for stem cell research, the outcomes are beginning to look promising. In the article, “Adult Stem Cells Are Already Curing Diseases,” Jean Peduzzi Nelson, a stem cell researcher from Wayne State University, argues for more funding and research in the area of stem cells. She presents instances in which stem cells have worked to help cure certain

and how Sickle cell disease affects people. Also I will talk about how Sickle cell disease came around and how Malaria is transferred.The first account of malaria in Africa was in the 1880s by a French army surgeon who saw parasites in the blood of people. Malaria arose by people living in the low swamp lands of Africa. These grounds are breeding grounds for Mosquitoes that carry the parasite that causes the disease Malaria. Malaria is a parasite that attacks the red blood cells in the body, some

would be dispersed between Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer and Sickle cell disease. Briefly to explain my decision I choose these three because of the amount the people that get affected by these diseases are in staggering number. Cancer will have 5 million while Sickle-cell disease will have 2 million and finally Multiple Sclerosis will have 3 million. Beginning with Cancer, it is class of diseases characterized by out-of control cell growth. Currently there is around 100 different types of cancer

sickle cell disease is particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, tribal regions of India and the Middle-East and tropical regions,.[67] Migration of significant populations from these high frequency areas to low frequency states in Europe has dramatically amplified in recent decades and in some European countries sickle-cell disease is now more familiar genetic conditions such as haemophilia and cystic fibrosis.[68] As 176,000 deaths due to SCD in 2013 up from 113,000 deaths in 1990.[10] Sickle-cell disease
