Haematology is a branch of internal medicine. It deals with diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs. Important hematologic diseases are, for example Anemia Malignant diseases of the blood such as acute and chronic leukemia malignant changes in the lymph nodes (e.g. Hodgkin’s disease) Blood formation disorders of the bone marrow disorders of blood clotting, … Hematology
Dyslipoproteinemia occurs when the ratio of certain proteins (proteins) in the blood serum is disturbed. Both a genetic (primary) form and a secondary variant, which occurs as part of another underlying disease, exist. In the latter, treatment of the dyslipoproteinemia usually also requires therapy for the underlying disease; in many cases, adapted diet and possibly … Dyslipoproteinemia: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Hematology is the study of blood and its functions. This branch of medicine refers to the physiology and pathology of the blood. Hematology is of great importance in routine diagnostics, in the follow-up of a wide variety of diseases, but also in basic research. More than 90 percent of all medical diagnoses are based on … Hematology: Treatment, Effects & Risks
Insulinoma is the most common hormone-producing tumor of the pancreas. It often produces not only insulin, as its name suggests, but also other hormones. In 90% of the cases it is a benign tumor. The most important symptom of insulinoma is the so-called hypoglycemia (“hypoglycemia”). These occur particularly after physical exertion or in the morning … Insulinoma
Biliary diarrhoea (Greek)Cholera is a severe infectious disease, which mainly causes severe diarrhoea. The disease is triggered by Vibrio cholerae, a gram-negative bacterium that can be transmitted to humans via contaminated drinking water or food. Cholera occurs mainly in countries with inadequate hygienic conditions, especially where food, drinking water and personal hygiene are not guaranteed. … Cholera
Forecast With correct therapy, the average mortality rate is only 1-5%, but if therapy is started too late or is omitted, it increases up to 60%. Already weakened people with a reduced state of health are considered to be particularly at risk. Although cholera is a serious life-threatening disease in itself, if it is detected … Forecast | Cholera
Detection of tissue structures, antibodies, and pathogens by immunolabeling is popular, modern, and accurate. Immunofluorescence refers to immunolabeling with prepared fluorescent antibodies that are made to glow under UV light. In direct immunofluorescence detection, the test substrate is examined directly with luminescent antibodies, without upstream primary antibodies or artificial antigens. What is immunofluorescence direct detection? … Immunofluorescence Direct Detection: Treatment, Effects & Risks
What medications are contraindicated? In principle, all drugs that increase the viscosity of the blood or impair the oxygen supply should be avoided. For example, sickle-cell patients should refrain from taking contraceptives containing estrogen, as these increase their risk of thrombosis. Drugs that act on the autonomic nervous system and narrow the vessels (vasoconstrictive drugs) … What medications are contraindicated? | Sickle cell anemia – How dangerous is it really?
Definition Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic disease of the blood or more precisely of the red blood cells (erythrocytes). There are two different forms depending on the inheritance: a so-called heterozygous and homozygous form. The forms are based on a disturbed form of the erythrocytes. In the absence of oxygen, they take on a … Sickle cell anemia – How dangerous is it really?
Diagnosis Several methods can detect the sickle cell shape of the red blood cells. The easiest way to do this is by observation: If a drop of blood is spread out on a glass slide and sealed against air, affected erythrocytes take on the sickle shape (called sickle cells or drepanocytes). So-called target-cells or shooting-disk … Diagnosis | Sickle cell anemia – How dangerous is it really?
Associated symptoms The clinical picture of the symptoms depends on whether the affected person is a homozygous or heterozygous carrier. In the homozygous form, one can generally speak of the more severe form. Patients already suffer hemolytic crises and organ infarctions in childhood due to circulatory disorders. A hemolytic crisis is a complication of hemolytic … Associated symptoms | Sickle cell anemia – How dangerous is it really?
Therapy In the case of homozygous carriers, an attempt can be made to integrate the cultivation of normal erythrocytes in the body with an allogenic stem cell transplant. For this purpose, blood-forming stem cells are transferred to a sibling or a stranger, which then take over the (correct) blood formation. This is also done, for … Therapy | Sickle cell anemia – How dangerous is it really?
