Your genetics load the gun .your life pulls the trigger.(Mehmet Oz).in life your already born without knowing destiny. Although you may have a condition you can let it break you.
A person with hemophilia faces great problems. Any little scrap or cut even burse can give the person a hard time. With this condition a person faces prolonging bleeding. Surgery or evening getting a tooth pulled isn’t a great idea. This condition causes the blood clotting process to slow down. If you have this disorder you’ll be sure to know. You have be playing a street game of football one minute fall and scrap you’re your knee the next. And be hospitalizing at the end of the day. Even serious complication can result in bleeding into the joint, muscle, brain or other internal organs (U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2012) . You may not know if you have hemophilia until abnormal bleeding occurs after a serious injury or surgery. This may be hard for someone to take in.
There’s to major forms of hemophilia much more communing to in occur in males then females, hemophilia A is much more common ,1 in 4000 to 1 in 5000 males worldwide is born w. this condition. Hemophilia B appixmately in 1 to 20,000 newborn males worldwide. (U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2012)Although the numbers may .seem rare it is still an extreme serious condition not to be taken lightly.
The changes in f8 and f9 gene are responsible for hemophilia A and B. the f8 gene codes for a protein called coagulation 8. This protein is responsible for the blood clotting process. After an injury blood clots protect the body by sealing off the area of injury. Mutation in the f8 and f9 gene can lead to the abnormal form of the protein. Also can lead to a reduction of the coagulation pro...

...Through UDC,set of health monitoring data is collect from people with hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. The data collected is used to examine the severity of disease complications, describe treatment and care pattern , assesses quality of life and determine health issues for further future studies.( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may,13,2013 1600 Clifton Rd. Atlanta, GA 30333, USA).
Hemophilia is a serious genetic condition caused by a coagulation factor that causes a mutation in the f8 and f8 gene. Hemophilia can be treated but not cured. Further studies are currently being done today. Living with hemophilia can be very difficult .physical activity is not recommended for individuals living with this condition. Also surgery is highly dangerous because of the excessive bleeding. In society we have set backs but we have to learn to deal with them.
Genetic disorders can be caused by many of the 46 chromosomes in human cells. This specific disorder is linked to a mutation in the long arm of the X, or 23rd chromosome. The mutation is recessive, meaning a normal X chromosome can hide it. Females have two X chromosomes allowing them to hide the mutated recessive one, making them a carrier of the gene, while males only have one X chromosome, meaning that they are unable to hide the mutation and they become effected by the disease. Therefore if a male carries the gene, he is affected because he has no way of dominating the recessive gene, but if a female carries it, she is only a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing it on to her baby. This may seem like a high probability however, only one in every fifty thousand male births will have this immunodeficiency disease.
The upside is that they are preventable. DVT “occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein. These clots usually develop in the lower leg, thigh, or pelvis, but they can also occur in the arm” (CDC.gov, 2012). Anyone at any age can develop DVT. There are certain risk factors that increase a person’s chance of having this chronic condition. Chances are increased further by a person have multiple risk factors at the same time (CDC.gov, 2012). These risk factors can include: injury to a vein, slow blood flow, increased estrogen intake usually birth control pills, certain chronic illnesses such as heart or lung disease, family history of DVT or PE and/or previous DVT or PE (CDC.gov, 2012). Age is another big risk factor. Even though anyone at any age can develop DVT, patients over the age of 60 have an increase risk of developing the condition (Mayo Clinic,
Of the children of a hemophiliac male and a normal female, all the girls will be carriers and all the boys will be normal. Males cannot transmit the disability, and female carriers are free of the disease. Conventional wisdom suggests that 1 in 10,000 males in the United States have hemophilia. However, increased research and focus, on bleeding disorders in general and on bleeding disorders in women specifically, suggest a shift in what is known about who has a bleeding disorder.... ...
In the early 1980s, most people with Hemophilia were injected with “HIV”, because the factors used for treatment were isolated from injected human plasma. Since then, “virus sterilizing techniques” and the use of “artificial factors” have greatly reduced this risk. Hemophilia A can also be known as classic Hemophilia (because it is more common) and factor VIII deficiency. Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease, and factor IX deficiency.
Today i'm going to be talking about Hemophilia and the general overview of it. I will also talk about any potential cures. I will be talking about what Hempohilia can do to your body. I will also be talking about if theres a cure or just a treatment to make it less worse. I will also be talking about how people with Hemophilia deal with this disease. I will also explain how people will benefit from extended research on thi s topic. I’ll also talk about my personal opininon on this topic and what I think about it. So for my first question I’m explaining what the characteristics of Hemophilia are. The characteristics of Hemophilia are not very deadly but can be very annoying I’ll also explan the genetic causes of this disease.
There has been a dramatic rise in the rate of caesarean section (CS) in the last two decade making it the most commonly performed procedure worldwide. 1Surveys (2, 3) have indicated that 3-5% of total red cells transfusion is related to obstetrics with higher rate in CS patients compared to those having vaginal delivery (1-7% versus 1%) (4, 5).
Von Willebrand disease is due to an abnormality, either quantitative or qualitative, of the von Willebrand factor, which is a large multimeric glycoprotein that functions as the carrier protein for factor VIII (FVIII) (1). Von Willebrand factor is also required for normal platelet adhesion. As such, von Willebrand factor functions in both primary (involving platelet adhesion) and secondary (involving FVIII) hemostasis. In primary hemostasis, von Willebrand factor attaches to platelets by its specific receptor to glycoprotein 1b on the platelet surface and acts as an adhesive bridge between the platelets and damaged sub-endothelium at the site of vascular injury. In secondary hemostasis, von Willebrand factor protects FVIII from degradation and delivers it to the site of injury.
The amount of people suffering from this disease is significant which are 1 in 100 to 100,000 people (1). About 1% of the whole world’s population suffers from this disease (2). There is not one gender that it takes affect on particularly or ethnic group. It affects men and woman equally as well as any group of people (3).
Did you know that hemophilia A is mostly common to men and happens to about 1 in 5,000-10,000 men at birth ? Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder with many hardships of their life.
Males receive X from the mother, Y from the father whereas females receives two Xs, one from each parent. Hemophilia is an X-linked or sex-linked recessive disorder where the faulty gene is located on the X chromosome. Therefore, the son inherits the defective gene from the mother and is likely to have the disease. Since the daughter inherits two Xs, it is not very likely for her to show the trait since the disorder is recessive but they will still be the carrier of hemophilia gene. In rare cases, some carriers can experience bleeding symptoms if their clotting factors are moderately decreased. In unusual situations, some people can develop hemophilia later in life which can be resolved through treatments. The affect group involves middle-aged or elderly people, or young women who have recently given birth or are in the later stages of
One community service project I would love to develop would be a local fair to raise awareness about hemophilia for the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida. Before the event could be held, I would have a month prior to the date the event starts to set up posters and signs at local convenience stores, shopping centers, restaurants, and health institutions. The resources, consisting of posters, tape, and thumbtacks, would be provided through mail by the organizer of the event(which would be me in this case). In addition to these posters, I would have contact with the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida to help create T.V., online, and newspaper adverts which would continually be displayed throughout the date of February 17 to March 22, based on the year of 2018. These adverts would be financed by the Hemophilia Foundation of Greater Florida, and would cease the night prior to the final night of the event.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of a fetus or embryo from the uterus before viability (dictionary.com). Those who disagree with abortion think that this is not right, mid evil and a form of murder. All of those thoughts are correct; abortion is the act of removing a fetus from the protection of the mother’s uterus. However, is it not the duty of the mother to protect her unborn child? In this day in age, we are still allowing this barbaric method of ending a pregnancy to happen despite the many alternatives. If an unexpected pregnancy should occur, abortion should not the only option. There are many reasons why abortion should not be illegal in all parts of the world, and people need to know the options available. Adoption is certainly a strong option in a world wanting for children. Abortion is not a method of birth control and people need to be educated on pregnancy prevention and take on some responsibilities.
I will be investigating Human Blood as my specific tissue and giving an overview on the location, characteristics, and the benefits it has to the human body. Blood is extracellular matrix that is consists of plasma, red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Blood is located within the capillaries/veins/arteries of the human body, which are blood vessels that run through the entire body. These blood vessels allow the blood to flow smoothly and quickly from the heart to distinct parts of the human body. The unique parts of human blood all work together for a purpose: the Red Blood Cells(erythrocytes) transports oxygen throughout the body, White Blood Cells(leukocytes) play a part in the bodies immune system, Platelets(thrombocytes) assist in creating scabs,
Blood transfusions have become a common part of medical care with nearly 5 million Americans a year receiving a transfusion. Blood transfusions are used in the treatment of many different conditions, from replacing blood lost in surgeries or injuries to fighting diseases like liver disease, anemia, and bleeding disorders like hemophilia (Nglbi.nih.gov, 2014). Blood collection and transfusion are overseen by many different agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Through these agencies work in donor screening and surveillance, blood transfusions usually cause no adverse reactions in the recipient and are considered a safe medical procedure. Despite this, blood safety remains an important public health matter both due to the seriousness of some adverse reactions when they do occur and the need for preparedness in reacting to future blood safety issues that can suddenly arise when new bloodborne diseases emerge. It is for these reasons that Healthy People 2020 has made reducing the proportion of averse reactions from the medical use of blood and blood products one of their objectives.
should be checked for a clot and then examined on a slide to verify the low platelet count.
