Hematology is the branch of medicine that studies diseases of the blood. A hematologist specializes in diagnosing and treating bleeding disorders like hemophilia. Hemophilia is a sex-linked hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a lack of clotting factor in the blood, making it more common in males. Blood tests are an important part of diagnosis and evaluation in hematology, and involve drawing blood samples via phlebotomy to examine components of the blood like red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma.

Cardiomyopathy
Definition
Abnormal structure or function of the myocardium.
Newer definitions require it to be unexplained by ischaemic, hypertensive, or valvular disease, with the term limited to myocardial diseases with known genetic, morphological, and/or functional characteristics.
It often leads to heart failure, and in rarer cases, sudden cardiac death.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)
Pathophysiology and epidemiology
Commonest cardiomyopathy. Exact prevalence unclear but probably more than 1/500. Can present at any age.
Features:
Dilated chambers.
Systolic dysfunction.
↓Cardiac output.
Causes:
Idiopathic
Familial, 2/3 of which are autosomal dominant.
Cardiovascular: ischaemia, HTN, valve disease. See 'Definition' above about why this isn't strictly speaking 'cardiomyopathy'.
Myocarditis: viral, Chagas disease.
Alcohol
Pregnancy: Peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Stress: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Tachycardia: 'tachymyopathy', usually in chronic SVT such as atrial flutter or AF.
Multi-system disease: thyrotoxicosis, sarcoidosis, haemochromatosis.

In der August-Ausgabe erfahren Sie exklusiv, warum Stars oftmals ihr Gewicht nicht halten können und erhalten wertvolle Tipps, wie Sie den Jojo-Effekt vermeiden können. Außerdem verraten wir Ihnen, wieso der Schauspieler Bradley Cooper nicht die passende Frau fürs Leben findet. Passend zur warmen Jahreszeit, sind weitere Themen, die neuesten Hotpants-Looks des Monats, die besten Rezepte für leckere Obstkuchen, die Sommerresidenzen der Royals und peinliche Schmink-Pannen der Stars.
Nahezu jeder kennt es. Die Urlaubszeit steht vor der Tür und jeder möchte noch schnell seine Bikinifigur erreichen. Wochenlang wird diszipliniert gegessen und Sport getrieben, um die lästigen Pfunde los zu werden. Doch schon kurz nachdem die erfolgreiche Gewichtsabnahme stolz präsentiert wurde, schnappt die Jojo-Falle zu. In der neuen gold-Ausgabe erfahren Sie, welche Stars ebenfalls von dieser Gewichtsachterbahn betroffen sind und mit welchen Tipps und Tricks Sie den gefürchteten Jojo-Effekt vermeiden können.

Besonders im Sommer sind leichte Obstkuchen gefragt. Erhalten Sie in der gold leckere Rezepte zum Nachbacken. Ein Rezept möchten wir Ihnen bereits im Vorfeld verraten: „Zwetschgenkuchen“. Für ein Blech benötigen Sie:
200 ml Gutes Land Frischmilch
1/2 Würfel Hefe
150 g Zucker
350 g Korn Mühle Mehl
4 Vom Land Eier
40 g Gutes Land Butter
1 TL Carat gemahlener Zimt
300 g Gutes Land Schmand
1 TL gemahlener Sternanis
500 g Zwetschgen
So geht’s:
1. Milch in einem Topf erwärmen. Hefe hineinbröckeln und mit 20 g Zucker verrühren.
2. Mehl und 40 g Zucker in einer Rührschüssel mit der Hefemilch, einem Ei, der Butter und dem Zimt mit einem Handrührgerät verrühren. Zugedeckt ca. 40 Min. gehen lassen.
3. Drei Eier mit 40 g Zucker, Schmand und Sternanis verrühren.
4. Zwetschgen waschen, halbieren und entsteinen.
5. Hefeteig nochmals gründlich kneten. Teig auf einem gefetteten, tiefen Backblech ausrollen. Saure-Sahne-Guss daraufgeben. Zwetschgen darauf verteilen und mit 40 g Zucker bestreuen. Im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 200 Grad (Gasstufe 3, Umluft 180 Grad) auf der mittleren Schiene 25–30 Min. backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen, auf ein Kuchengitter setzen und abkühlen lassen.
Freuen Sie sich auf noch mehr Sommerrezepte in der August-gold!

Week 7: Hematological System
Often in the medical field, an emphasis is placed on the importance of the heart and the lungs. While these two organs are vital to the sustainability of life, the blood is what makes the cardiovascular and respiratory systems function—it’s the connection for the heart and lungs. For this reason, disorders of the hematological system can be potentially devastating for patients. Consider the case of Connie Prochnow. Connie was diagnosed with leukemia after seeking medical care for bruising, shortness of breath, and exhaustion. Her blood disorder resulted in alterations that impacted other body systems, including her respiratory system (UW Health, 2012). Since the heart and the lungs rely so heavily on the blood, it is important that hematological disorders are quickly identified and managed.
This week, as you focus on hematological disorders commonly presented to advanced practice nurses, you examine the pathophysiology of anemia. You also explore the impact of patient factors on anemic disorders.

What is BLOOD? What are the differents components and their functions in the ...D.R. Chandravanshi
Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.[1]
In vertebrates, it is composed of blood cells suspended in blood plasma. Plasma, which constitutes 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water (92% by volume),[2] and contains proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation), and blood cells themselves. Albumin is the main protein in plasma, and it functions to regulate the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. The blood cells are mainly red blood cells (also called RBCs or erythrocytes), white blood cells (also called WBCs or leukocytes) and platelets (also called thrombocytes). The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein, which facilitates oxygen transport by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood. In contrast, carbon dioxide is mostly transported extracellularly as bicarbonate ion transported in plasma.
Annals of Hematology & Oncology is a peer-reviewed, open access journal published by Austin Publishers. It provides easy access to high quality Manuscripts covering various aspects in the field of medicine that includes early to late symptoms, diagnosis, staging, treatment, prognosis, and follow-up of two interrelated medical specialties namely hematology and oncology. This journal also focuses upon the study of blood, the blood-forming organs, and blood diseases, cancer etiology, diagnosis, staging, treatment, drugs, epidemiology, and awareness.
2. a branch of medicine that studies the
diagnosis, conditions and treatments of
diseases of the blood.
A physician who specializes in this branch is
called a hematologist.
They treat bleeding disorders such as
hemophilia.
The labwork for this study includes all
components of blood including plasma, RBCs,
WBCs, blood proteins.

3. A bleeding disorder where the affected person has
almost no clotting factor, a protein necessary for
coagulation.
a sex linked hereditary trait that causes the blood to
take longer to clot. It is more common in males.
There is the most severe, type A and there is type B.
It occurs more commonly in males because it is X-
linked, meaning the genetic disorder is linked to the
x chromosome. Because women have 2 x
chromosomes, even if they are carriers, the other will
usually mask the disorder.

4. A diagnostic procedure that requires blood to
be draw from a vein via a needle.
Usually the technician will draw up to 500 ml
of blood and the process can take up to 30
minutes all together.
Drawing blood removes excess iron that can
sometimes be over stored in the liver. This
storage can lead to liver damage so its
healthy to have blood drawn every now and
then. http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-
