Anemias are caused by a low red blood cell (RBC) count or low hemoglobin in RBCs. There are three main types of anemia: hypoproliferative anemia caused by decreased RBC production; hemolytic anemia caused by increased RBC destruction; and aplastic anemia caused by rare damage to stem cells in the bone marrow. Hemolytic anemias specifically result from a shortened RBC lifespan, where the bone marrow cannot replace destroyed RBCs quickly enough. Membrane defects can also cause hemolytic anemia, such as hereditary spherocytosis caused by alpha or beta spectrin deficiencies, which results in spherical RBCs more vulnerable to spleen destruction.

Skeletal muscle is one of the three significant muscle tissues in the human body. Each skeletal muscle consists of thousands of muscle fibers wrapped together by connective tissue sheaths. The individual bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are known as fasciculi.
Striated muscle contracts to move limbs and maintain posture. The contraction of skeletal muscles is an energy-requiring process. In order to perform the mechanical work of contraction, actin and myosin utilize the chemical energy of the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).Muscle contraction results from a chain of events that begins with a nerve impulse traveling in the upper motor neuron from the cerebral cortex in the brain to the spinal cord.When the signal to contract is sent along a nerve to the muscle, the actin and myosin are activated. Myosin works as a motor, hydrolyzing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to release energy in such a way that a myosin filament moves along an actin…
Excitation–Contraction Coupling
Excitation–contraction coupling is the link (transduction) between the action potential generated in the sarcolemma and the start of a muscle contraction.
Sliding Filament Model of Contraction
For a muscle cell to contract, the sarcomere must shorten. However, thick and thin filaments—the components of sarcomeres—do not shorten. Instead, they slide by one another, causing the sarcomere to shorten while the filaments remain the same length. The sliding filament theory of muscle contraction was developed to fit the differences observed in the named bands on the sarcomere at different degrees of muscle contraction and relaxation. The mechanism of contraction is the binding of myosin to actin, forming cross-bridges that generate filament movement

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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”.
6. Maturation of reticulocytes to
RBCs in blood circulation (1-2
days)
Reticulocytes still
contain ribosomes
and elements of
endoplasmic
reticulum.
The RNA of the
ribosome can be
detected by cresyl
blue.
7. Reticulocyte count
A typical normal range
is 0.5-1.5 %.
Increase level of
reticulocytes as known
as reticulocytosis
10. Structure of EPO
Is a glycoprotein growth
factor (165 amino
acids) with high
carbohydrates content
which increase the
molecule’s stability in
the circulation
11. Erythropoietin (Epo)
Site of synthesis:
Peritubular
lining cells of
the renal cortex
Liver
Ito cells
EPO production
predominates
in the adult
EPO production
predominates in the
fetal and perinatal period
12. Factors which stimulate Epo
production:
Hypoxia of different genesis
Increase hemolyzates level (products of
RBCs destruction)
Anterior pituitary hormones: LH, FSH,
ACTH, TSH, GH
Androgens
13. Factors which decrease Epo
production
Estrogens decrease synthesis of Epo
This is why in females RBCs count is less
then in males.
15. Regulation of the EPO production
by blood oxygenation (feed-back)
O2
Oxygen
sensor
protein (heme-containing)
changes the
conformation
to Deoxy-form
HIF
(hypoxia inducible factor-1)
O2

EPO gene transcription
EPO production
Proteosomal
degradation
EPO production
Oxygen
sensor
protein (heme-containing)
changes the
conformation
to Oxy-form
16. Effect of Epo
1. Epo induces proliferation and maturation
of erythroid progenitor cells (CFU-E and
BFU-E have receptors for EPO)
2. Epo increases release of reticulocytes
from the bone marrow
3. Epo stimulates absorption of hemoglobin
by suppressing hepcidin.
17. Role of hepcidin
Is peptide hormone
produced by the liver.
Increase iron storage
in cells
Prevents enterocytes
from secreting iron
into the hepatic portal
system
Antifungal and
antibacterial activities
20. Causes:
Causes of aplastic anemia usually bind
with damage of the stem cells in the bone
marrow:
Exposure to toxic substances
Cancer therapy
Autoimmune disease
Viral infection
21. Clinical signs
Due to
RBCs count platelets
count
WBCs
count
lack of energy
feeling of
tiredness, fatigue
prolonged
bleeding
frequent
nosebleeds
increased number
and severity
of infections
22. Hypoproliferative anemia (marrow
production defect)
Iron
deficiency
Epo
Anemia of chronic diseases:
(INF-gamma, TNF-beta-inflamatory
cytokines suppress the response of
the erythroid cells to EPO)
Anemia in renal disease
production of EPO)(
Endocrine deficiency states
(eg. Hypothyroidism -
hypometabolic state)
Protein starvation
Hypoproliferative anemia
25. Definition. Hemolytic anemias are defined as
decreased red cell mass resulting from an
increase rate of erythrocytes destruction.
Normal red cells have a lifespan 100-120
days.
At the end of this lifespan, both normal and
damaged cells are ‘recognized’ by
macrophages in the spleen and removed
from the circulation
26. In hemolytic anemia,
red cell lifespan is
shortened.
The bone marrow is
not able to produce
new RBCs quickly
to replace destroyed
RBCs
31. Composition of RBCs

34. Clinical presentation:
Extravascular Hemolysis in the spleen.
Plasma hemoglobin is slightly raised.
Splenomegaly
UCB-emia and risk for jaundice and pigment
stones
Reticulocytosis (5-20%).
35. Osmotic fragility test is positive
When RBCs are exposed to a hypotonic
saline solution (<0.9%) only few normal
RBCs are hemolyzed.
But 50% of spherocytes lyses under this
conditions.
↓ ability of RBCs to extrude sodium →
retention of water → osmotic injury
