Each year thousands are told they suffer from anemia, but most have only a vague understanding of the condition. In fact, "anemia" is a generic term that includes myriad specific diseases, each of which has its own story regarding cause, manifestations, and treatments. Understanding Anemia gently builds upon elementary knowledge of biology to provide the general reader with a fairly sophisticated understanding of the various causes of anemia, of the methods used to make diagnoses, and of the principles of treatment. The book begins with a definition of anemia and a brief history of the scientific study of blood. It explains how the doctor makes the diagnosis and details the main types of anemia. Since the different conditions result from the failure of various organs, the reader will come away with a surprisingly broad understanding of human anatomy and physiology, encompassing the digestive, circulatory, and immune systems, nutrition, biochemistry, and heredity. Features: Specific anemias: iron deficiency, vitamin deficiencies, hemolytic anemias, hereditary anemias, and others Helpful appendices: a practical guide to the metric system, a brief review of general cell biology, a table of normal values in commonly ordered lab tests, a description of the bone marrow biopsy procedure, a list of pitfalls a doctor faces during the evaluation of the anemic patient, resources for further study (both in print and on the Internet) Ed Uthman is director of the medical laboratory at Polly Ryon Memorial Hospital in Richmond, Texas. He is an adjunct assistant professor of pathology at the University of Texas School of Medicine, Houston.

Agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia figure prominently among certain serious diseases which can be precipitated by drugs. Several hundred different agents with substantially different chemical and pharmacological properties have been implicated, although the evidence incriminating specific drugs has been largely anecdotal. This book describes the findings of a rigorous and comprehensive epidemiological investigation designed to provide reliable quantitative data on the drug etiology of agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia. This investigation was a large-scale, population based , case-control study. Its objectives were to identify those drugs associated with agranulocytosis and aplastic anemia, and to estimate incidence rates attributable to specific drugs. In both conceptual and practical terms, this study has broken new ground, by providing the most extensive documentation to date concerning the drug etiology and incidence of the two dyscrasias.

This book is the story of an inherited blood disease -- Cooley's anemia or beta thalassemia. Cooley's anemia is a severe and potentially fatal anemia that affects millions of people worldwide. Written by a world-recognized expert on the disease who has contributed greatly to the scientific understanding of the pathophysiology of this human hemoglobin disorder, the book describes the emotional and medical impact of the disease on patients and their families. It also summarizes the research on the disease at the level of the genes, DNA, RNA, and proteins. In addition, it also includes chapters on current therapy and future approaches to the disease, such as gene therapy, stem cell transplantation, and antenatal diagnosis.A multidisciplinary book covering the fields of hematology, pediatrics, medicine, genetics, and molecular biology, the book details how Cooley's anemia serves as a model for understanding other human genetic and acquired diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease. It also provides new insights which may lead to new therapies.

This groundbreaking book chronicles the history of sickle cell anemia in the United States, tracing its transformation from an "invisible" malady to a powerful, yet contested, cultural symbol of African American pain and suffering.Set in Memphis, home of one of the nation's first sickle cell clinics, Dying in the City of the Blues reveals how the recognition, treatment, social understanding, and symbolism of the disease evolved in the twentieth century, shaped by the politics of race, region, health care, and biomedicine. Using medical journals, patients' accounts, black newspapers, blues lyrics, and many other sources, Keith Wailoo follows the disease and its sufferers from the early days of obscurity before sickle cell's "discovery" by Western medicine; through its rise to clinical, scientific, and social prominence in the 1950s; to its politicization in the 1970s and 1980s. Looking forward, he considers the consequences of managed care on the politics of disease in the twenty-first century.A rich and multilayered narrative, Dying in the City of the Blues offers valuable new insight into the African American experience, the impact of race relations and ideologies on health care, and the politics of science, medicine, and disease.

Contains heme iron derived from pigs.Contains women-friendly vitamin C and calcium.Vitamin C and calcium for women are also included.Iron is a mineral and is easy to be short like calcium. Iron has an essential function for life support. Shortage of iron might be caused anemia or boredom so we need to take positively, especially women. Although a diet of modern people becomes wealthy, we tend to prefer sweets and favorite articles. Unbalanced nutrition, over intake or shortage of them, stands out and it’s hard to take the proper quantity recently. There are two types of iron in our bodies, functional iron and storage-transport iron. The former works for metabolism and oxygen transfer. The latter exists in liver, spleen and bone marrow as complementation pool of iron and it works for keeping homeostasis of functional iron. Functional iron exists as an important ingredient for composing hemoglobin, which is the basis of red blood cell, and it’s used for oxygen transfe.

The "Azteca" step mat from Rubber-Cal has a geometric design and is made to mimic old Mesoamerican art. It is designed to protect modern stairs and make them slip-resistant to foot-traffic. Why make your steps slip resistant? Globally, falls represent the third leading cause of disability after depression and anemia. Falls are also the second leading global cause of accidental death, after motor vehicle collisions. Stairs are a special worry since a fall may result in even more severe injury due to the geometric nature of stairs. Rubber is unaffected by moisture, has excellent weather resistance, and offers great friction in all conditions. This makes rubber an ideal raw material for step mats. Color: Black.

In the 1980s, a research team led by Parisian scientists identified several unique DNA sequences, or haplotypes, linked to sickle cell anemia in African populations. After casual observations of how patients managed this painful blood disorder, the researchers in question postulated that the Senegalese type was less severe. The Enculturated Gene traces how this genetic discourse has blotted from view the roles that Senegalese patients and doctors have played in making sickle cell "mild" in a social setting where public health priorities and economic austerity programs have forced people to improvise informal strategies of care. Duana Fullwiley shows how geneticists, who were fixated on population differences, never investigated the various modalities of self-care that people developed in this context of biomedical scarcity, and how local doctors, confronted with dire cuts in Senegal's health sector, wittingly accepted the genetic prognosis of better-than-expected health outcomes. Unlike most genetic determinisms that highlight the absoluteness of disease, DNA haplotypes for sickle cell in Senegal did the opposite. As Fullwiley demonstrates, they allowed the condition to remain officially invisible, never to materialize as a health priority. At the same time, scientists' attribution of a less severe form of Senegalese sickle cell to isolated DNA sequences closed off other explanations of this population's measured biological success. The Enculturated Gene reveals how the notion of an advantageous form of sickle cell in this part of West Africa has defined--and obscured--the nature of this illness in Senegal today.

Linus Pauling was the most important chemist, and arguably the most important American scientist, of the 20th century. From his description of the chemical bond to his discovery of the cause of sickle-cell anemia and his groundbreaking work with vitamin C, his work stretched the boundaries of chemistry, physics, biology, immunology, and more. Acclaimed science writer Tom Hager brings Pauling's wide range of scientific accomplishments vividly to life while also shedding light on Pauling's activities outside the scientific realm. He shows how Pauling used his popularity to advance political causes, particularly his opposition to the spread of nuclear weapons during the 1950s. Despite the troubles his political activism caused him, he remained unmoved in his dedication to making the world a safer place. His perseverance was rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize in 1963, which along with his 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, made him the only person in history to win two unshared Nobels.Oxford Portraits in Science is an on-going series of scientific biographies for young adults.
