virus (HCV) is transmitted through contact with the blood of an infected person; however, it is now more commonly spread among IV drug users that share needles. Healthcare workers are also at risk for contracting HCV, but with standard precautions, the risk is low. “Prior to 1992, some people acquired the HCV infection from transfusions of blood or blood products. Since 1992, all blood products have been screened for HCV, and cases of HCV due to blood transfusion now are extremely rare. HCV can be passed

the ability to combat malaria, but they don’t have sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell is only possible when an organism exhibits the genotype (ss) since it is not a dominant disease. On the other hand, those who have the genotype (SS) have no way to combat malaria. Sickle cell disease causes the uniquely shaped red blood cells to obstruct the path for blood flow in the arteries. This happens due to the crescent moon shape of the red blood cells causing immense pain in the abdomen and joints and eventually

Sickle-cell anemia: causes red blood cells to have a crescent shape rather than a flexible round shape. One of the ways to possibly rid one of sickle-cell anemia would be to do a stem cell transplant. They would use chemotherapy to get rid of the stem cells creating sickle-cell and replace it with new, healthy blood cells. Stem cells are cells that can divide infinitely. Stem cells are thought to be able to cure diseases such as lupus, arthritis, sclerosis, etc. Zygote: a single cells that if formed

CLINICAL CLARIFICATION • A rare blood disorder also known as bone marrow failure in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells, leading to a high risk of infection, uncontrolled bleeding and other possible complications 3 CLASSIFICATION • By severity: ○ Moderate 4 – Significant reduction in blood counts, but not as low as in severe aplastic anemia – Patients may be asymptomatic – Treatment may not be needed until it progresses to severe anemia ○ Severe 2 – Less than 25% cellularity on

organism responsible for the occurrence of IM? What patient group is mainly affected? The organism responsible for the occurrence of IM is the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This virus belongs to the Herpes group and was first identified in cultured cells from biopsies of Burkitt’s Lymphoma. The patient group that is mainly affected are 15 to 25 year olds. Infants and younger children have been affected, but the virus is very rarely found in middle aged or elderly people. 2) Explain the principle

who work within the health care facilities and have encounters with Sickle cell patients and as well as policy makers who can implement major changes. Sickle cell Disease is a life-threatening, severe, inherited chronic blood disorder. The healthy red blood cells which are round turn “sickle” shaped or moon-shaped which can cause the cells to break and die prematurely. The abnormal shape of the cells ends up blocking blood vessels which prevents oxygen from circulating around the body resulting in

physical agent used to destroy cancer cells” (Cancer and Radiation). The type of radiation used is ionizing radiation. The particles are charged electrically and deposited into the cancer cells. The radiation can destroy the cancer cells, as well as cause genetic changes which also result in the destruction of the cells. Though radiation therapy is meant to destroy the cancer cells, they also destroy normal cells. High levels of radiation can destroy DNA cell and cause them not to be able to function

disease caused lymphoproliferative disorder , due to abnormal overgrowth of cells of the lymph system similar in many ways to lymphomas (cancers of lymph nodes) but this disease is not cancer . It is also called giant lymph node hyperplasia or angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (AFH). There are two pathological types of Castleman's Disease , the hyaline vascular variant can occur in a localized (unicentric) and plasma cell variant that occurs in widespread (multicentric) form. Sometimes its

of a genetic disorder, the probability of their offspring having the disorder can range from twenty five to one hundred percent. Sickle Cell is a genetic disorder that affects red blood cells, causing them to become sickle, or misshapen. This makes the hemoglobin in the red blood cell not able to move oxygen throughout the body causing severe pain. Sickle Cell is genetic due to a person inheriting affected genes from their parents, and both parents have to be carriers because the disorder is homozygous
