Yearly, around six hundred to nine hundred people are diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia within the United States. Aplastic Anemia is a autoimmune hematological disorder that causes pancytopenia which is a reduction in major blood components, namely, erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. This disease has been labelled as a type of bone marrow failure, that is often due to not one but a variety of disorders that occur simultaneously. Aplastic Anemia can therefore be defined as a bone marrow disorder

importantly our drinking water. Water authorities add this manufactured fluoride to our tap water under the pretense that it reduces tooth decay. Way back in the 1930’s, scientists found that any given population would benefit from two thirds fewer cavities if they were brought up in areas with naturally fluoridated water. This was in comparison to those living within areas where the water wasn’t

While there are different types of bone cancers, the symptoms for each are generally about the same with the severity varying with the size and location of the tumor (Upstate Medical University, 2014). The most common symptom is pain, which, in the case of cancers such as osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and Ewing’s sarcoma, may occur in the arms, legs, and knees. The pain may start out as being infrequent and only occur at night or when the bone is in use. Over time, as the tumor grows, the pain

or without associated thrombocytopenia mostly in the form of epistaxis. Dental caries is also common in Indian subcontinent. SKELETAL CHANGES: Due to ongoing anemia, there is ongoing extramedullary hematopoiesis which leads to expansion of marrow cavities and thinning of cortices which produces a variety of bony abnormalities which leads to various clinical manifestations. The earliest changes occur in the hands and feet that gives rectangular or frankly convex appearance to the metacarpals, metatarsals

RESULTS A total of 194 patients were symptomatic and had screen detected abnormalities. All of the breast lesions who underwent ultrasound guided diagnostic procedures were sonographically visible and were classified according to BI-RADS as 3, 4 or 5. Among 194 patients who underwent needle core biopsy for diagnosis of breast lesions 79 were reported to be BI-RADS -3, 20 were reported to be BI-RADS -4 and 32 were reported to be BI-RADS -5 [Table 1]. Out of the 194 patients biopsied, 65 were for

Explain the structure and development of the skeletal system. The skeletal system is made up of 206 bones which protects, support and allows the human body to move. The skeletal system also consists of tissues such as; tendons, ligaments and cartilage - these components connect the bones together which results to the posture and framework of the body. The skeletal system of a new born baby consists of more bones than an adult (roughly 300 bones); this is because the bones have not been joined together

Pulmonary (external) respiration or ventilation involves the intake of oxygen, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body. While oxygen is an essential element to the in the production of energy, and the first thing that comes to mind when the topic is about breathing, it is the carbon dioxide that plays the most important role when it comes to the regulation of ventilation (Pearson 12). Contrary to what most people believe, carbon dioxide is more than just a waste product of the body’s

How is the tissue of the kidneys structurally modified to aid in filtration? It has tubules and is porous B. What is important functionally about transitional epithelium? It allows for stretching. Transitional epithelium contains cells that are flattened and cells that are cuboidal; hence the name "transitional". You can find transitional epithelium in the bladder and in the first expansion of the ureters as they leave the kidneys (called a calyx). C. What is the function
