Leukemia

I personally have a 4-year old cousin who has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. I took the time to look up this travesty and I have found that most who are subjected to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia are between the ages of 4-12. The approx. number of children who are sentenced to this disease is about 2,000. Only 15% of people die from A.L.L. That means 85% of people lived through this. Chemo-therapy, although it makes you lose your hair, does help remove A.L.L. or contain any other types of cancer until the removing (if removable). A.L.L. is characterized by excess lymphoblasts. A.L.L. causes damage and death by crowding out normal cells in the bone marrow, and by spreading to other organs. 'Acute' refers to the undifferentiated, immature state of the circulating lymphocytes ("blasts"), and to the rapid progression of disease, which can be fatal in weeks to months if left untreated.

The periwinkle plant contains substances that are effective against leukemia. In fact, Vinblastine and vincristine are alkaloids found in perwinkle that are approved by the FDA and are used to make chemotherapy drugs.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is unusual cancer of blood that affects the B cells, a type of the white blood cell (lymphocyte).

Hi,

Normal neutrophils have normal amount of LAP while malignant immature neutrophils in CML are deficient in the enzyme. So the leukocytosis seen in a leukemoid reaction ir infection will present with normal or elevated LAP, because the neutrophils are normal, while in CML, the leukocytosis is full of immature neutrophils.

Hope this helps.

Second name for the leukemia is blood cancer or bone marrow cancer characterized by abnormal increase in blood cells usually leukocytes.

The word leukemia comes from Latin as a combination of two words: leuk- which means white. -aemia which means blood So, the word leukemia literally means "whitening of blood", indicating the presence of tremendous numbers of white blood cells in the blood.

Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow. Hypothermia is the lowering of body core temperature to the point of unconsciousness and then death. In no way are the two related.

Leukemia was named in 1845. The name refers to the fact that it generally affects white blood cells, and comes from the Greek leukos ("white"), and haima, ("blood")

it runs in the family by w

There can be a number of things that may cause this. But it sounds like it could be a perforated bowel or perhaps some other type of internal bleeding. This type of thing needs a doctor's attention.

Leukemia is not an infection. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood formation. Leukemia can, however, make you more likely to get infections.

The word leukemia comes from the Greek: White Blood

Leukemias are the result of an abnormal development of leukocytes (white blood cells) and their precursors. Leukemia cells look different than normal cells and do not function properly.

Thalassemia - which affect the red blood cells as oppose to white blood cells in leukemia.

Leukemia is cancer of the blood. Many immature white cells are formed and fewer red blood cells and platelets are formed. The lack of RBCs cause anemia and low platelet count affects the clotting mechanism. The white blood cells can invade the nervous tissue causing damage and headaches. The white blood cells that fight off infections and pathogen are lower in numbers and the person can't fight off viruses and bacteria well.

I seriously doubt that such a program would be in the best interest of the child whether it "worked" or not. It is highly unlikely that it would, however be successful. Persons with autism assimilate information differently than those without the affliction. Therefore even a program for adult sexual offenders, would not be beneficial for an adult with autism.

a child with autism does not learn the same way as a person who is unaffected. a child with autism doesn't have the understanding of proper social behaviors that a normal child would and most likely doesn't understand what they have done. if the child is in school it would be advisable to speak with the school social worker or counselor and see what they recommend.

A CHILD WITH AUTISM is very capable of learning, just in a different way. SKIP the school counselor; they probably know little about Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have found that a child who is autistic will learn better from the person he trusts most and knows him the best; the parent or guardian or mentor. FORGET a "program" for sex offenders. Teach him appropriate sexual behavior by correcting him over and over when he is not appropriate; role model; if he touches someone, remove him from the area and tell him no; just as you would any other child. Redirect him to an appropriate activity. He has autism; he's not STUPID. Remember that!

Rather than waiting for the next indiscretion put time aside to speak to your child about sex. This way you can talk calmly and rationally without anger or embarrassement over a particular incident getting in the way.

Ask them what they know about sex, whether they have any concerns or particular desires. Once you know what they are feeling you can help them to take the appropriate action. Like asking someone out rather than trying to force affection onto someone etc.

Once you've established what they should do, also set some firm guidelines about what is definiatly not acceptable.

If you can talk about sex calmly and openly it will give your child the message that its normal to have sexual feelings and that they can talk about them with you.

Alternatively if this doesn't work you could try a clinical psychologist who has experience of autistic children.

Sometimes at the beginning of anorexia it's difficult to tell, but as the person gets further into anorexia they begin to look drawn in the face, their collar bones stick out, ribs show, they have no bodily curves and they have a skeletal appearance. Some people are genetically thin, so don't judge a very slim person under the heading of "anorexia." Thyroid problems can contribute to someone being very thin or, someone being on the heavy side.
