Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional disorder globally, affecting 30% of the population. It is caused by inadequate iron intake or absorption, blood loss, or increased physiological demands. Common symptoms include pallor, fatigue, and impaired cognitive function. Laboratory findings show microcytic hypochromic anemia, low serum ferritin and iron, and elevated TIBC. Treatment involves oral iron supplementation, while ensuring compliance and watching for malabsorption or ongoing blood loss. Prevention through breastfeeding, iron-fortified formula, and supplements can reduce iron deficiency in at-risk groups like infants and women.
Iron deficiency anemia develops when iron stores are too low to support normal red blood cell production. It can be caused by inadequate dietary iron, impaired iron absorption, bleeding, or loss of body iron. Diagnosis involves a complete blood count showing microcytic, hypochromic anemia and low serum iron and ferritin levels. Treatment primarily involves oral iron supplementation, while parenteral iron or blood transfusions are reserved for more severe cases. The underlying cause also needs to be addressed to prevent recurrence.
Iron Deficiency Anemia occurs when iron levels are too low to support normal red blood cell production. It has various causes like bleeding, low dietary iron intake, or loss of iron in the urine. Symptoms include fatigue and pale skin. Investigations show low hemoglobin, ferritin and iron levels with microcytic red blood cells. Treatment involves oral or intravenous iron supplementation depending on severity. Complications can include impaired development in children or increased risk of falls in the elderly.

5 Ischemia Infarction & Gangrene in pathology.pptxssuser9976be
Dry gangrene is caused by arterial occlusion alone, resulting in slow putrefaction and spread. It can cause natural amputation. Wet gangrene involves both arterial and venous occlusion, leading to rapid putrefaction and spread. No line of demarcation forms and toxemia is often fatal. Gas gangrene occurs when deep wounds are contaminated by Clostridium bacteria, causing muscle necrosis, gas formation and severe toxemia.
respiratory system 54172for anatomy students.pptssuser9976be
The respiratory system allows for gas exchange between the external environment and tissues within the body. It includes the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and lungs. The lungs are divided into conducting and respiratory zones. In the conducting zone, air is warmed and filtered before reaching the alveoli in the respiratory zone, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with blood. Breathing is controlled by respiratory centers in the brain and is influenced by chemoreceptors sensitive to oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels. Disorders that can affect the respiratory system include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Thalassaemias are disorders of globin chain synthesis that can be caused by gene deletions or mutations. There are two main types: alpha thalassaemia is caused by reduced or absent alpha chain synthesis, while beta thalassaemia involves reduced or absent beta chain synthesis. Heterozygotes are typically asymptomatic but have characteristic blood abnormalities. The most severe forms, like alpha thalassaemia major and beta thalassaemia major, present in early childhood with severe anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, skeletal abnormalities, and require lifelong transfusions and chelation therapy.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder where red blood cells take on a sickle, or crescent, shape due to a genetic mutation. This causes chronic hemolytic anemia and obstruction of small blood vessels. The mutation results in hemoglobin that polymerizes and distorts the red blood cell from its normal biconcave disk shape into a rigid sickle shape. This sickling obstructs blood flow through small vessels, depriving tissues of oxygen and causing damage that results in the signs and symptoms of sickle cell disease.
3 iron deficiency anemia blood diseases.pptssuser9976be
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia globally. It occurs when iron levels in the body are insufficient to support normal red blood cell production. Key signs include pallor, fatigue, dyspnea, koilonychia, and angular cheilitis. It is diagnosed based on a low MCV and MCH on a CBC, low serum iron and ferritin levels, and absence of iron in bone marrow staining. Common causes are insufficient dietary iron intake, blood loss, hookworm infection, and increased iron needs during growth and pregnancy.

Actinomyces israelii is described in more detail, including its characteristics as an anaerobic, Gram-positive, branching rod that is part of the normal human flora in the mouth and genitals. Actinomycosis is discussed as a chronic infection caused by A. israelii that can involve the cervicofacial, thoracic, or abdominal regions and presents as swollen lesions that drain pus. Laboratory diagnosis of actinomycosis involves direct examination of samples for sulfur granules,
The adrenal gland is divided into the medulla and cortex. The medulla releases catecholamines in response to sympathetic input. The cortex produces mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids. The kidneys filter blood and produce urine through nephrons in the cortex and medulla. They are supplied by the renal artery and drained by the renal vein. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder stores urine until urination. The urethra then carries urine from the bladder out of the body.
This document provides information about amoebiasis caused by Entamoeba histolytica. It discusses the life cycle, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Regarding life cycle, E. histolytica has stages of cysts which are ingested and release trophozoites in the intestines. Trophozoites colonize the intestines and form cysts which are released causing further infections. Symptoms range from asymptomatic to dysentery and liver abscesses. Diagnosis involves examining stool for cysts/trophozoites and imaging abscesses. Treatment includes metronidazole or tinidazole antibiotics. Prevention relies on proper sanitation and water treatment to avoid fecal-oral transmission.
PCR is a technique that takes a small amount of specific DNA sequence and amplifies it through an in vitro enzymatic process and cycling conditions to produce many copies of double-stranded DNA fragments of the same size and sequence. Primers are used to target the specific DNA region and their melting temperature (Tm) can be calculated using a formula that considers the number and type of nucleotide bases.

7. Iron deficiency is defined as a
decreased total iron body content.
Iron is vital for all living organisms
because it is essential for multiple
metabolic processes, including
oxygen transport and DNA
synthesis. Assistant prof .Radfan Saleh
8. Iron balance is achieved largely by
regulation of iron absorption in the
proximal small intestine.
Factors that enhance iron absorption
. Facilitators: ascorbate, citrate, amino
acids, iron deficiency
Assistant prof .Radfan Saleh
9. Factors that prevent iron absorption.
Inhibitors: , tannins, iron overload,
antacids
Assistant prof .Radfan Saleh
10. Causes of iron deficiency :-
chronic blood loss
increased iron requirement
iron malabsorption
inadequate dietary intake
1- chronic blood loss:- the most common
causes of iron deficiency in adult are :-
- Occult bleeding from the gastrointestinal
tract.
- Blood loss caused by menstruation or
pregnancy and including birth.
11. A) gastrointestinal bleeding: occult blood loss from the
gastrointestinal tract can be chronic without displaying
any symptoms and may go undetected until the
patient presents with symptoms of anemia this is may
be due to :- peptic ulcer, hook worm infection,
malignancies of stomach or colon.
B) uterine bleeding:- menstrual bleeding is the most
common cause of iron deficiency in woman . The
average amount of blood lost during each menstrual
cycle is about 45 ml which represents about 25mg
of iron lost each month.
C) other sources of bleeding:- this is may present
with chronic blood loss that result from hematuria or
hemoglobinuria.
12. 2- increases in the physiologic
requirement for iron :-
This is due to increases in the requirements for
iron that exceed the amounts of iron normally
available in the diet .
infancy:- in the infant iron deficiency usually result
from an unsupplemented diet of milk that is not
capably of providing enough iron for erythropoiesis.
Adolescence:- iron deficiency is result from the
increased demands during period of increased
growth.
Pregnancy and lactation:- although menstruation ceases
during pregnancy, there is an increased demand for iron
because of fetal growth and an increased maternal red cell
mass during pregnancy
13. 3- iron malabsorption :-
Iron deficiency may be result from two absorption
deficiency :-
A) malabsorption syndromes this due to damage in
the iron-absorbing mucosal cells of the duodenum.
B) subtotal gastrectomy:-gastric acid may not be
available for converting insoluble dietary ferric iron to
the soluble ferrous form that can be absorbed and
transport rapidly through the duodenum.
4- inadequate iron intake .
Source of iron:-
rich source (liver, heart, kidney)
Good source (leafy vegetable, fish, fruit )
17. Distinct microcytosis (compare with size of the
lymphocyte). Some of erythrocytes are hypochromic. A
few pencil shaped cells are seen

26. Diagnosis
History and clinical examination of the patient,
specially dietary history
Peripheral blood picture, hypochromic microcytic
anemia
Measurement of
Serum iron
Serum ferritin
Normal blood levels are 30-300 ng/mL for males and 15-
200 ng/mL for females
Stainable iron in bone marrow
Assistant prof .Radfan Saleh
27. Serum Iron (SI)
•
Men: 65 to 176 µg/ dL
•
Women: 50 to 170 µg/ dL
•
Newborns: 100 to 250 µg/ dL
•
Children: 50 to 120 µg/ dL
•
:
µg/ dL
TIBC:240-450
•
Transferrin saturation: 20-50%
Assistant prof .Radfan Saleh
28. CBC, iron deficiency anemia. Microcytosis is indicated by the low MCV.
Hypochromia correlates here with the low MCH.
Assistant prof .Radfan Saleh
35. Diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia:-
1- peripheral blood findings:-
hemoglobin :- 5 – 10 g/dl.
haematocrit :- low MCV
low MCH
2- peripheral blood smears:-
microcytic, hypochromic red cells.
poikilocytosis, which are abnormal shaped
RBCs
Pencil shape are feature in iron deficiency
anemia

38. Causes of Anemia of Chronic
Disease
Any disease condition that is associated with
inflammation, and that lasts more than 1 or 2
months, can cause anemia of chronic disease.
In some cases, the inflammation is obvious (chronic
infections or rheumatic disorders, for example); in
other cases, the inflammation is less obvious
(malignancies).
Chronic illnesses that are not associated with
inflammation (for example, hypertension or
diabetes mellitus) are not usually associated with
the anemia of chronic disease.
39. Laboratory Diagnosis
1- The anemia due to chronic disease is usually mild or moderate:
blood hemoglobin levels ≥8 to 10 g/dL.
However, the anemia may be more severe
in chronic illnesses with marked inflammation. The anemia is
usually normocytic and normochromic but can be microcytic in
severe cases.
2- MCV is usually only mildly decreased (≥70 fL).
3- The reticulocyte count is low.
4- erythrocyte sedimentation rate are usually increased.
