Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. It is made up of globin chains and heme. Anemia occurs when hemoglobin levels drop below normal, reducing oxygen delivery to tissues. Anemia can be classified based on red blood cell size and color. Common causes include iron deficiency from blood loss or poor diet, vitamin deficiencies, chronic diseases that increase hepcidin levels, and genetic disorders. Investigation involves blood tests of iron levels, mean cell volume, and red blood cell morphology. Treatment focuses on replacing lost iron and addressing the underlying cause. Prevention involves diet, food fortification, and supplementation of at-risk groups.
This presentation will help medical students to define anemia, list etiological factors leading to anemia , classify different types of anemia , recognize different manifestations of anemia and list general complications of anemia
Anemia is a condition in which you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body's tissues. In these slides you will get to know types of anemias and pathology .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
4. Hemoglobin
• Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in RBC that carries O2
from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon CO2
from the tissues back to the lungs.
• Hemoglobin maintains the shape of RBC also.
8. • An (without) -aemia (blood)
• Reduction of Hb concentration below the normal
range for the age and gender
• Leading to decreased O2 carrying capacity of
blood and thus O2 availability to tissues (hypoxia)
ANEMIA
9. Clinical Features
Presence or absence of clinical feature depends on:
1-Speed of onset :
Rapidly progressive anemia causes more symptoms than slow onset
anemia due to lack of compensatory mechanisms:
(cardiovascular system, BM &O2 dissociation curve
2-Severity:
• Mild anemia :no symptoms usually
• Symptoms appear if Hb less than 9g/dL
3- Age:
• Elderly tolerate anemia less than young patients
10. • Weakness
• Headache
• Pallor
• Lethargy
• Dizziness
• Palpitation (tachycardia)
• Angina
• Cardiac failure

Clinical Features
1-General features of anemia
Specific signs are associated with particular types of anemia :
Spoon nail with iron deficiency,
Leg ulcers with sickle cell anemia
Jaundice with hemolytic anemia
bone deformities in thalassemia major
2-Specific features
13. • Iron is among the abundant minerals on earth (6%).
• Iron deficiency is the most common disorder( 24%).
• Limited absorption ability :
1-Only 5-10% of taken iron will be absorbed
2- Inorganic iron can not be absorbed easily.
• Excess loss due to hemorrhage
