It also continued into procedures that it considered illegal which included blood doping, gene doping, local anesthetics, and beta-2 agonists (“2016-17 NCAA Banned Drug List” 2016). While most people may not know what these are and

Erythropoietin is a drug that can be used to increase an athlete’s performance. Some of the side effects of using Erythropoietin are major and can be fatal, the side effects of using Erythropoietin are increased viscosity of the blood meaning the blood thickens, fever, seizures

diagnosed with leiomyomas and has a past history of depression and is a chain smoker. She was admitted to the hospital for vaginal hysterectomy via spinal anaesthetic. On her return to the ward after 2 hours in PARU, her vital signs were as follows: Blood pressure-90/50 mm Hg; pulse: 130bpm; respiration rate: 30/min; temperature: 36.5 C. Her pain score is 0/10 and has a urinary catheter insitu with 10 mls urine output for the last hour and a patient controlled analgesia. She is to be discharged after

is affiliated with erythropoietin receptor (Epor) in erythroid cells (1, 2). A mutation in Tfr2 leads to an iron overload disease known as haemochromatosis (Hfe) type 3, without any apparent erythroid irregularities (1). Tfr2 is a constituent of an atypical iron-sensing pathway that adapts erythrocyte production, according to iron accessibility, achievable by modulating the erythroblast erythropoietin sensitivity (1). The red blood cell (RBC) specific hormone erythropoietin (Epo) accounts for the proliferation

1.1. Background on Sickle Cell Disease Sickle cell disease is a disease that is most prevalent in people of African descent along with people of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern origin. This disease is known to affect about 70, 000 Americans and about 2 million people carry the trait (meaning that, they carry a single gene mutation). Sickle Cell Disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that occurs due to a mutation in the β-globin gene of hemoglobin. Autosomal meaning that it is

Normal red blood cells are shaped like discs and look like donuts with no hole in the middle. They are rich in hemoglobin and carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which the red blood cells become sickle shaped, or shaped like a crescent. Sickle cells also become sticky and tend to block the blood flow to the limbs and organs (“What is Sickle Cell Anemia?”). People who have sickle cell trait (SCT) do not have the disease, but instead are carriers

This mutation paper is to give information on the Sickle Cell disease. This is a negative disease to have because the Sickle Cell Disease decreases the health of the person that has the disease and limits what they can and cannot do. Sickle Cell Disease is a red blood cell disease that causes ab normal hemoglobin to from in the veins. Hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen throughout the body to help with the respiratory system. The cause of the genetic mutation is inheritance or getting the

Determining what blood type a person has is very important. It is important because if one were to lose a great deal of blood in say, a car crash, the doctors would need to give him or her a blood transfusion. In order to give one a blood transfusion, the doctors would need to know him or her blood type. Blood types are determined by the agglutinogens, located in the red blood cells and the agglutinin, located in the blood plasma. For example, if a person is blood type A they have A agglutinogens

detectives find blood or traces of blood not visible in a crime scene. The way it works is, after you spray the reagent in the suspected area, it illuminates a bright blue that can be seen in the dark. The science behind this blood detection technique is that luminol reacts with iron found in hemoglobin, thus making invisible or suspected bloodshed visible to the crime investigator (How Does…). The main part of this reaction and also the way light is produced is when the iron in the blood oxidizes with

fatigue. Henry had always been pale, and this alone was never enough alarm suspicion; but Henry’s paleness started to shift to a more yellowish tint, along with these other signs raised enough suspicion to take Henry to the hospital. The doctor took blood from Henry to be tested. After the test result came back the doctor concluded that Henry had an enlarged spleen and liver, as well suffered from a hereditary disease called beta-thalassemia. John and Mary in complete dismay questioned the doctor
