This document summarizes different types of anemia seen in pregnancy. It discusses physiological anemia of pregnancy and pathological anemias including deficiency, hemorrhagic, hereditary, and those caused by bone marrow insufficiency or infection. Specific hereditary anemias covered are thalassemias, sickle cell disease, and other hemoglobinopathies. Causes, symptoms, investigations, and management are described for different types of anemia.
Anemia during pregnancy/types/causes/prevention and managementBabitha Mathew
It's normal to have mild anemia when you are pregnant. But you may have more severe anemia from low iron or vitamin levels or from other reasons. Anemia can leave you feeling tired and weak. If it is severe but goes untreated, it can increase your risk of serious complications like preterm delivery

ANEMIA IN PREGNANCY BY DR SHABNAM NAZ.pptxShabnam Shaikh
pathological condition in which the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells is insufficient to meet the body ‘s needs
The world health organization uses haemoglobin Concentration to define anaemia, below 120 g/l in nonpregnant Women and 110 g/l in pregnancy.
Anaemia in pregnancy is defined as
first trimester haemoglobin (Hb) less than 110 g/l
second/third trimester Hb less than 105 g/l
postpartum Hb less than 100 g/l
PREVALANCE-
40% of world ‘s population
(35% non-preg 51%pregnant)
56% in Pakistan
MORTALITY
40-60% IN Pakistan
18% in industerlised countries
Reason of anemia during pregnancy
Physiological hamodilution
Increase iron demand
Diminished intake of iron--- bcs of nvp
Disturbed metabolism
Pre-pregnancy health status
Excess demand. (Twin)
During pregnancy, iron requirements increase (due to expanding red cell mass and increasing fetal requirements)by 2.5 mg/day in the first trimester to 6.6 mg/day in the third trimester.
There is an increase in iron absorption from the gastrointestinal tract during pregnancy.
Folic acid requirements also increase in pregnancy due to increased red cell mass and the expanding feto–placental unit.
Vitamin B12 decreases in pregnancy (205–1025 pg/ml to 30–510 pg/ml in pregnancy). Despite lower concentrations, there is rarely, if ever, evidence of biochemical vitamin B12 deficiency.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Classification of anemia
• Physiological anemia of pregnancy
• Pathological
– Deficiency anemia
• Fe deficiency
• Folic acid deficiency
• Vit B12
• Protein deficeincy
– Haemorrhagic
• Acute – following bleeding in early months or APH
• Chronic – Hookworm infestation, bleeding piles
2. – Hereditary
• Thalassemias
• Sickle cell haemoglobinopathies
• Other haemoglobinopathies
• Hereditary haemolytic anemias
– Bone marrow insufficiency
– Anemia of infection
– Chronic disease (renal) or neoplasm
3. Physiological anemia
• In pregnancy:
– Increase in plasma volume, RBC volume and Hb
mass
– Marked demand of extra iron specially in the second
half which cannot be overcome by diet.
• Thus, there always remains a physiological iron
deficiency state during prenancy.
• As a result, there is not only a fall in Hb conc and
hematocrit value in the second half of pregnancy,
but there is also assoc low serum iron.
4. Criteria for physiological anemia
• Hb – 10gm%
• RBC: 3.2 million/mm3
• PCV: 30%
• Peripheral smear: normal morphology of RBC
with central pallor
5. Why anemia during pregnancy???
• The woman who has got sufficient iron reserve
and is on balanced diet – unlikely
• But if iron reserve is inadequate or absent :
– Increased demands of iron
– Diminished intake of iron
– Disturbed metabolism
– Pre – pregnant health status
– Excess demand: multiple pregnancy, rapidly
recurring pregnancy.
18. Risk period
• At about 30 – 32 weeks of pregnancy
• During labour
• Immediate following delivery
• Any time in puerperium specially 7 – 10 days
following delivery
20. Prognosis:
• Maternal: if detected early good
• Fetal: if detected early and responsive to
treatment , the fetal prognosis is not too bad.
– But in severe and neglected cases, there can be
prematurity
21. Treatment
• Prphylactic:
– Avoidance of frequent child births
– Supplementary iron therapy
– Dietary prescription
– Adequate treatment
– Early detection of falling Hb level is to be made
22. • Curative:
– Hospitalisation
– General treatment:
• Diet
• To improve appetite and facilitate digestion
• To eradicate even minimal septic focus
• Effective therapy to cure the disease
24. Iron therapy
• Oral route:
– Drawbacks:
• Intolerance
• Unpredictable absorption rate
– Response:
• Sense of well being
• Increased appetite
• Improved outlook of the patient
• Haematological examination
• Rise in Hb level
– Rate of improvement – within 3 weeks
25. – Failure:
• Improper typing of anemia
• Defective absorption
• Pt fails to take iron
• Concurrent blood loss
– Contraindication:
• Intolerance
• Severe anemia in advanced pregnancy
26. • Parenteral therapy:
– Intravenous and Intramuscular
– Indications:
• Contraindications of oral therapy
• Pt not co-operative to take oral iron
• Cases seen for the first time during the last 8 – 10
weeks in severe anemia
27. • Intravenous route:
– Total dose diffusion: deficit of iron is calculated and
the total amount of iron required is administered by a
single sitting intravenous infusion
– Advantages:
• Eliminates repeated and painful intramuscular
injections
• Treatment completed in a day
• Less costly
28. • Intramuscular therapy:
– Total dose to be administered is calculated
– After an initial dose of 1ml, the injections are given
daily or on alternate days in doses of 2ml
intramuscularly.
– Drawbacks:
• Painful
• Chance of abscess
• Reactions
29. • Blood transfusion:
– Limited. But indications are:
• PPH
• Severe anaemia in later months of pregnancy
• Refractory anemia
• Assoc infection.
– Quality and quantity: fresh. Only packed cell. 80 –
100 ml at a time
– Advantages:
• Increased oxygen carrying capacity of the blood
• Hb may be utilised for the formation of new red
cells.
• Stimulated erythropoiesis
• Improvement expected after 3 days
30.
31. • There is derangement in red cell maturation with
the production in the bone marrow of abnormal
precursors known as megaloblasts due to
impaired DNA synthesis.
32. • Vit B12 or folate defieciency or both.
• Vit B12 deficiency is rare in pregnancy.
• In pregnancy, due to folic acid deficiency.
41. Prophylactic therapy
• All woman of reproductive age should be given
400µg of folic acid daily.
• Additional amount (4mg) should be given where
demand is high.
44. • Hereditary disorders in which the red cells contain
Hb-S.
• Produced by substitution of valine for glutamic
acid at the position 6 of the β-chain of normal
haemoglobin.
45. Pathophysiology
• Red cells with HbS in oxygenated state behave
normally but in the deoxygenated state it
aggregates, polymerises and distort the red cells
to sickle.
• These sickle shaped cells block the
microcirculation due to their rigid structure.
46. Effects on pregnancy
• Increased incidence of abortion,prematurity,
IUGR and fetal loss.
• Perinatal mortality is high.
• Preclampsia, postpartum haemorrahage and
infection is increased.
47. Effects on the disease.
• There is chance of sickle cell crisis which usually
occurs in the last trimester.
• Haemolytic crisis
• Painful crisis.
48. Management
• Preconceptional counselling
• During pregnancy: antenatal supervision, regular
blood transfusion at 6 weeks interval.
• Contraception: sterilisation, oral pill, barrier
method is ideal.
49. Thalassaemia syndromes
• Commonly found genetic disorders of the blood.
• Basic defect is a reduced rate of globin chain
synthesis.
• As a result, the red cellsbeing formed with an
inadequate haemoglobin content.
• Types – alpha and beta (depending upon the
chain)
50. Alpha thalassaemia
• Incompatible with life.
• Α-peptide chain production is controlled by 4
genes, located on chromosome 16. Depending
upon the degree of deficient synthesis – 4 clinical
types.
• Mutation of one gene: no clinical or laboratory
abnormalities. Silent carrier
51. • Mutation in 2 – 4 genes: minor. Often goes
unrecognised and pregnancy is well tolerated.
• Mutation in 3 – 4 genes: Hb H disease.
hemolytic anaemia.
• Mutation in all four genes: major. No alpha globin
chain. Fetus dies either in utero or soon after
birth.
52. Beta thalassemia
• beta chain production is directed by 2 genes –
one on each copy of chromosome 11.
• Major – when mutation affect both the genes. –
red cell destruction- no erythropoiesis – blood
transfusion necessary for survival.
• Minor – mutation of one gene. – can tolerate
pregnancy –oral folic acid supplementation is
continued.
