Related topics: The Mystery of Ill Health Pestilence Will It Ever End? Knowledge Is the Best Defense BY AWAKE! CORRESPONDENT IN NIGERIA THERE were 32 people in the conference room, mostly women and children. Six-year-old Tope, frail, dressed in pink, sat quietly beside her mother, on a wooden chair. She listened as the nurse spoke to them about what to do when the pain comes. "She is my firstborn," said her mother. "From the beginning she was always sick. I went to many churches, and they prayed over her. But she still got sick. Finally, I took her to the hospital. They tested her blood and found she was a 'sickler.'" What Is It? At the Center for Sickle-Cell Anemia in Benin City, Nigeria, Tope's mother learned that sickle-cell anemia is a disorder of the blood. Contrary to superstitious beliefs, it has nothing to do with witchcraft or spirits of the dead. Children inherit sickle-cell anemia from both parents. It is not contagious. There is no way you can catch the disorder from another person. Either you are born with it or you are not. Tope's mother also learned that while there is no cure, the symptoms can be treated. Sickle-cell anemia occurs mostly in those of African descent. Dr. I. U. Omoike, director of the Center for Sickle-Cell Anemia, told

Anemia What is anemia? Anemia is a blood disorder that is defined as: • a level of red blood cells (RBCs) that is below the normal range, or • a level of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in RBCs, that is below normal. There are several forms of anemia including: • iron deficiency anemia • hemolytic anemia (destruction of RBCs) • vitamin B-12 deficiency anemia • folic acid deficiency anemia • anemias caused by inherited abnormalities of RBCs (for example, sickle cell anemia and thalassemia) • anemia caused by chronic (ongoing) disease. How do the different forms of anemia occur? Iron deficiency anemia: This most common form of anemia is caused by blood loss. Women most often develop iron deficiency anemia from the loss of blood during their menstrual periods and from repeated pregnancies. This type of anemia may also develop as a result of internal bleeding in the stomach (as with ulcers) or in the intestine (as with colon cancer). Iron deficiency anemia can also be caused by a lack of iron in the diet. Pregnant women may have this form of anemia because the growing fetus draws upon the mother's iron for the development of red blood cells and other tissues. Hemolytic anemia: This kind of anemia occurs when red blood cells are destroyed or damaged by infection, drugs, or inherited conditions.

Your browser does not support script FREE! "Natural Progesterone & Women's Health" Anemia One of the most common disorders caused by nutritional deficiency is anemia due to an insufficiency of B-12. This nutrient has the largest molecular structure of any single vitamin and consequently presents a serious absorption problem. The typical approaches to treating anemia are to administer large dosages of ferrous sulfate (iron sulfate) which may cause gastrointestinal bleeding, or a 1 c.c. (1000 mcg.) intramuscular injection of vitamin B-12, which is difficult to maintain over a long period of time. Absorption of B-12 in the diet is reduced by an erosion of the mucous lining of the intestines and decreased hydrochloric acid production in the stomach. Stress has also been implicated in reducing the amount of blood flow to the stomach wall (eschemia), and thus inhibiting the absorption of B-12. Further, many people are lacking a protein called "Intrinsic Factor" that may also be necessary for absorption. Vegetarians are often at risk of deficiency because B-12 is only found in animal products. Recently, a number of researchers have found that the Schilling Test, the standard for measuring B-12 in the blood, does not accurately account for utilization of B-12.

Feedback Introduction: Anemia Anemia: Anemia is a lack of red blood cells that thereby reduces the amount of oxygen the blood carries to the body. Symptoms for gradual onset of anemia include fatigue weakness , and pallor and may be mild at first; see symptoms of anemia . Acute anemia such as from blood loss has more severe symptoms such as dizziness and unconsciousness. Anemia can be serious and any symptoms need prompt professional medical advice. Anemia can result from various underlying conditions ranging from blood loss from various types of bleeding ( menstruation childbirth gastrointestinal bleeding ), to various conditions resulting in a lack of iron such as iron deficiency malabsorption , or certain kidney diseases . There are also various medication causes of anemia Anemia: If your blood is low in red blood cells, you have anemia. Red blood cells carry oxygen (O

Davol, 76 Mildred Avenue, Swansea, MA 02777-1620 pdavol@labbies.com AIHA Letters A compilation of selected letters from my archives addressing issues pertaining to AIHA. Canine Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia A disease characterized by increased destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes) by the dog's own immune system, canine autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is one of the most common blood (hematologic) disorders affecting canines. Though much attention has been given recently to AIHA due to evidence linking the process of vaccinating with the manifestation of this sometimes life-threatening disease, immunization is only one potential cause for this condition. The following article provides a detailed explanation of AIHA in terms of the disease process, diagnosis and treatment, and explores factors that may play a role in the development of this disorder in the canine. The Blood: A Brief Overview The blood is considered an organ having its own complex and diverse development, structure and functions. Its unique form, cellular tissue suspended in fluid plasma, allows it to serve as a main distribution system throughout the body. Cellular tissues composing the blood include: the red blood cells, which provide oxygen to tissues of the body; the white blood cells, which prevent invasion of microorganisms or other foreign substances; the lymphocytes, which carry out immune surveillance; and the platelets, which are involved in keeping the components of the blood in balance. Remarkably, all of these cellular components originate from a common source called stem cells located in the bone marrow. These stem cells give rise to a mature colony of cells which as they continue to divide and mature undergo a series of changes, a process known as differentiation, and eventually develop into the specialized blood cells indicated above.

119. Aranesp®- Anemia Treatment A treatment for kidney diseaserelated and chemotherapy-induced anemia that helps patients regain their energy with fewer injections. http://www.aranesp.com/

Aranesp is indicated for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure, including patients on dialysis and patients not on dialysis, and for the treatment of anemia in patients with non-myeloid malignancies where anemia is due to the effect of concomitantly administered chemotherapy. Aranesp is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Erythropoietic therapies may increase the risk of thrombotic and other serious events. Seizures have occurred in patients with chronic renal failure participating in clinical trials. The target hemoglobin (Hb) should not exceed 12 g/dL. If the Hb increase exceeds 1.0 g/dL in any 2-week period, dose reductions are recommended. In a study of Epoetin alfa treated hemodialysis patients with clinically evident cardiac disease, where the target Hct was 42% (Hb =14 g/dL), an increased incidence of thrombotic events and mortality was seen. The reason for increased mortality observed in this study is unknown. In an oncology study with another erythropoietic product, where the target Hb was 12 - 14 g/dL, an increased incidence of thrombotic events, disease progression, and mortality was seen.
