Sickle-Cell Disease
Sickle-cell disease is a genetic blood disorder wherein the red blood cells are irregularly shaped due to the blood’s lowered oxygen tension. This irregularity may result in chronic anemia, serious infections, painful conditions, damage to organs and death.

Which person on the pedigree could not pass the allele for sickle cell disease to his her offspring?
V
What are the percentages of Male versus Female affected by Sickle Cell Anemia?
The male female ratio is 1:1 since there is no sex predilection for Sickle Cell Anemia.
How does the environment affect sickle cell disease?
The blood cells can't carry as much oxygen as they should be able to carry. So the body gets less oxygen.
Sickle-cell anemia is an example of a point-mutation?
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
Can you catch sickle cell if you kiss someone with sickle cell?
NO, Sickle Cell Anemia is a Genetic Disorder that you inherit from your Parents. You are either born with it or not.
What disease is caused when cells divide to much and serious disease may occur?
I believe that is when tumors form and you get cancer, not sure though
Can sickle cell be known before birth?
Yes! If both parents have the sickle cell disease, the child will have sickle cell. Otherwise, you can Google it or bing it to see other ways.
Why is Sickle Cell Disease only found in the African race?
Oh man, that's a hereditary blood disorder, characterized by an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin molecule in red blood cells. Let me put it in other words, is a group of disorders that affects hemoglobin, the molecule in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells throughout the body. It usually begins in early childhood. It is not a Black people disease. It is most common among people whose ancestors come from Africa; Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Turkey, and Italy; the Arabian Peninsula; India; and Spanish-speaking regions in South America, Central America, and parts of the Caribbean.
Why do African American babies have sickle cell?
Not all African American babies have sickle cell anemia. It must be inherited for an African American (usually male) to develop the condition.
Would a karyotype reveal the presence of a sickle-cell disease?
No a karyotype would not reveal the presence of sickle cell because karyotypes are pictures of all of your chromosomes, so it could show the presence of Down syndrome, but not sickle cell disease.
When cells don't form a membrane and are only half developed and then pass thus genetic information onto other cells...i think
Sickle cell anemia is a condition in which the red blood cells are misformed. Instead of being round and concave somewhat like a donut but without a hole, a sickled red blood cell looks more like a crescent moon. The problem with sickle cell anemia is that, because of the deformity, it is not able to carry as much heme therefore decreasing the amount of oxygen each red blood cell can carry. When individuals get into sickle cell crisis, the cells of their body are greatly deprived of oxygenated blood. They are usually dehydrated and thus the sickled cell has even more difficulty passing through the venous and arterial systems. This condition is extremely painful for the individual and they will need medical attention immediately.
What is the difference between thalassemia and sickle cell anemia?
Though Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia are seemingly similar to the unknowing, a large difference remains; Thalassemia is characterized by a reduced production from one of the globin chains which make up hemoglobin while in Sickle Cell Anemia, the globin chains themselves are structurally defective.
Is the change in the size of the chromosomes the cause of sickle cell disease?
the sickle cell disease can be caused by many things including the change in size of chromosomes. the change of size in chromosomes can change and become either bigger or smaller. if the size doesnt change, then it doesnt get bigger or smaller which means the size stays relatively the same in general. it also makes you get a priapism

The Resiliency of a Filipino
by William G. Bacani
B : Filipino is resilient
G : Since time immemorial, we are tested by countless calamities; volcanic eruptions, devastating earthquakes and lahar flows, super typhoons, flash floods and landslides.
B : Victoriously, we surmounted these ordeals and pains, beyond imagination of the human race
G : Instant death of our loved ones, claimed by transportation mishaps and natural disasters. Thousands also die in hunger and malnutrition.
All : Including ambushes and endless wars in Mindanao. They trampled our basic human rights, such as the right to live
G (solo) : I lost my loving husband, who didn't want to join Abu Sayyaf.
G (solo) : I lost my only son, who opted to become a military man.

B : Survivors are Filipinos. The wrath of nature and cruel destiny may steal everything from us.
B (solo) : Wealth, properties, and family
All : But the Filipinos never give up
B : For us we are continuously scourged by the test of time. The spirit to survive and to bounce back remains undefeated
All : I'm as pliant as a bamboo for I'm a man of Earth
G : My hair may all be blown away by the winds
B : And my legs may be crippled by the smash of waves
All : But I will stand and pick up the shattered pieces of myself and continue to live
B : Resolute to survive, clothed with an inspiration to live, not only for my family but also for my beloved country
All : Filipinos unite in the midst of crisis, regardless of socio-economic status, tradition and creed
G : The world has seen the magnanimous spirit of the Filipinos in crucial times.
All : The gap between the rich and the poor was narrowed
G (solo) : Envy was replaced by sympathy
G (solo) : Hatred was conquered by love
B (solo) : Selfishness was set aside
B : And saving one's live is the ultimate desire
All : History tells us that the Filipinos have captured innumerable foes, natural and not. And shall always strive to champion in all odds. Because innate in the Filipino is the will to survive
B : We may be daunted by the horrible scenes around us. But certainly, we will be strengthened by our unwavering faith in God.
G : We have been lotted by many nations in the world, for our resiliency during disasters, others die in saving lives.
All : But only few realize, that we are able to survive, because our spirit to fight is deeply anchored from faith, that God Almighty will never forsake us.
B (solo) : I believe that Filipinos, divided by varied doctrines and cultures, are capable to be on top of any situation, if united

B : We may stumble and fall
All : But we will bounce back, arms stronger with vision and faith, that after darkness, after pains and sufferings, the Filipino survives, the Filipino is resilient.

A myoma or Leiomyoma is a benign uterine smooth muscle neoplasm typically originating from the myometrium. Grossly they are round, pearly white, firm, rubbery tumors that on cut-surface display a whorled pattern. Histologically, leiomyomas contain elongated smooth muscle cells aggregated in bundles that swirl and intersect at right angles to one another.
They are said to be are estrogen- and progesterone-sensitive tumors developing in reproductive years then regressing after menopause.
Classified into the ff:
- Subserosal - originate from myocytes adjacent to the uterine serosa, and their growth is directed outward, the are called pedunculated if they are attached only by a stalk from the myometrium.
- Intramural - Growth centered within the uterine walls.
- Submucusal - proximate to the endometrium and grow toward and bulge into the endometrial cavity
They may present with bleeding, pelvic discomfort, dysmenorrhea, infertility, and pregnancy wastage.
How does sickle-cell trait differ from sickle-cell disease?
in sickle cell trait you don't actually have the disease. you are only able to pass the disease to your kids if you marry a person with sickle cell or that also has the trait. sickle cell disease is when you actually have the disease. you can pass it to your kids if you marry someone with the trait or the disease. if you marry someone without a trait or disease then your kids will most likely have the trait.
Trends and issues in medical surgical nursing?
