Polycythaemia (erythrocytosis) is defined as an increase in the haemoglobin concentration above the upper limit of normal for the patient's age and sex.
Haemolysis indicates that there is shortening of the normal red cell lifespan of 120 days. There are many causes.
To compensate, the bone marrow may increase its output of red cells six- to eightfold by increasing the proportion of red cells produced, expanding the volume of active marrow, and releasing reticulocytes prematurely. Anaemia occurs only if the rate of destruction exceeds this increased production rate.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. ANEMIA:
DEFINITION :
is characterized by a reduction in the number of circulating
blood cells (RBCs), the amount of hemoglobin, or the volume of
red blood cells (hematocrit).
Anemia : is classified as acute or chronic.
Acute anemia : denotes a sudden drop in the RBC
population due to hemolysis or acute hemorrhage.
4. ETIOLOGY
• The common pathway in life-threatening acute anemia is a
sudden reduction in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
• • Depending on the etiology, this may occur with or without
reduction in the intravascular volume.
• • It is generally accepted that an acute drop in hemoglobin to a
level of 7-8 g/dL is symptomatic, whereas levels of 4-5 g/dL may
be tolerated in chronic anemia, as the body is able to gradually
replace the loss of intravascular volume.
6. PATHOGENESIS
REDCELLDESTRUCTION
The physiological destruction of senescent red cells
takes
place with in macrophages, which are abundant in
spleen , liver and bone marrow
This process appears to be triggered by age-
dependent changes in red cell surface proteins, which
lead to their recognition and phagocytosis
7. REDCELL DESTRUCTIONOCCURBY 2 MECHANISMS
(HEMOLYTICANEMIA)
Extravascular Hemolysis :
• The site of destruction is mainly spleen and this is the major mechanism of
red cell hemolysis.
• Red cells are taken up by the cells of RE system where they are destroyed
and digested
Intravascular Hemolysis :
• This is the minor pathway of red cell destruction and red cells are destroyed
in circulation releasing hemoglobin.
8. CAUSESOF ACUTEHEMOLYTICANEMIA
Extracorpuscular causes :
1. Mechanical- e.g. prosthetic valve, DIC, HUS
2. Immune- e.g. acquired immune hemolytic anemia, ABO or Rh
sensitization, mismatch transfusion.
3. Infection- e.g. malaria.
4. Sequestration- e.g. hypersplenism.
5. Complement induced, e.g. paroxysmal nocturnal
hemoglobinuria.

G6PDDEFICIENCY
GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE
DEFICIENCY(G6PD DEFICIENCY)
G6PD deficiency is the most common metabolic disorder of red blood
cells, involving about 35 million people worldwide
Glucose6-phosphate dehydrogenase is the first enzyme in the hexose
monophosphate shunt pathway (HMP) which protects red cells from
oxidant injury.
Deficiency of G6PD may result in episodes of hemolysis following
certain drug intake or chemical exposure or infection OR food like fava
beans.
13. PATHOGENESIS OF G6PD DEF.
G6PD CATALYZES NADP+ TO ITS REDUCED FORM, NADPH, IN THE
PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY. (G6PD = GLUCOSE-6-
PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE; ATP = ADENOSINE
TRIPHOSPHATE; ADP = ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE; NADP+ =
NICOTINAMIDE ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE PHOSPHATE [OXIDIZED
FORM]; NADPH = REDUCED NADP; GSSG = OXIDIZED
GLUTATHIONE; GSH = REDUCED GLUTATHIONE.)

15. CLINICALANDHEMATOLOGICALPRESENTATIONOF G6PD DEFICIENCY
Acute hemolytic anemia:
Occurs following exposure to drugs like primaquine, infections like pneumonia, typhoid and
oxidative chemicals.
• Clinical features:
• appears 1-3 hours after drug administration.
• Sudden development of pallor, passage of dark urine, jaundice and severe backache .
Chronic non- spherocytic anemia:
• There is moderately severe enzyme deficiency, hemolysis continues throughout life.
• Seen in neonatal period.
• Clinical features: hemolysis is compensated so milder symptoms
16. CLINICALANDHEMATOLOGICALPRESENTATIONOF G6PDDEFICIENCY
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia:
Jaundice in G6PD deficient neonates is common with G6PD Mediterranean
variant (class III).
• Clinical features: Jaundice, kernicterus
Favism:
Common in children caused by consumption of fava beans.
Resulting in acute severe hemolysis within few hours
• Clinical features: pallor, jaundice, red urine, headache, fever, chills and back
pain.
18. DIAGNOSTICTESTS
1. Peripheral blood film evaluation, history and biochemical
finding:
• Moderate anisopoikliocytosis with polychromatophilia
• Microspherocytes and bite cell ( removal of Heinz bodies)
• Reticulocytosis (20-50%)
• Hemoglobinuria and increase urobilinogen in urine
2. The commonly employed screening tests for G6PD deficiency
are:
. Methemaglobin reduction test (MRT) . Ascorbate –cyanide test
. Fluorescent spot test . Dye decolourisation test
3. Quantitative G6PD assay and DNA analysis by PCR
19. DIAGNOSTICTESTS
Peripheral blood film demonstrating blister cells in a
patient with glucose -6 -phosphate dehydrogenase
deficiency. The blister appears as a vacuole in the
erythrocyte’s hemoglobin at the edge of the red blood
cell surface. A thin rim of cytoplasm seems to
enclose this vacuole. This cell is usually a precursor
to a bite cell.
Bite cells. The red blood cells in this peripheral
smear appear bitten. The erythrocyte may retain
or lose central pallor, depending on the size and
numbers of bites. In some cases, the bite cell
may be mistaken for helmet cells, a type of
fragmented erythrocyte. . A double bite cell is
displayed in the center of the figure.
21. TREATMENTOFG6PDDEFICIENCY
The main treatment for G6PD deficiency is avoidance of oxidative stressors
caused by infection, ingestion of fava beans, or exposure to an oxidative
drug
Rarely, anemia may be severe enough to warrant a blood transfusion(if HB
>6 mg /dl and stable no need for blood transfusion, if < 6 mg/dl or unstable
, for blood transfusion)
Splenectomy generally is not recommended
Folic acid and iron potentially are useful in hemolysis
Antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium have no proven benefit for the
treatment of G6PD deficiency
Research is being done to identify medications that may inhibit oxidative-
induced hemolysis of G6PD-deficient red blood cells.
