Iron deficiency anemia is defined as reduced hemoglobin levels caused by depletion of iron stores. It is the most common type of anemia globally, affecting those with inadequate dietary iron intake or increased iron requirements. Common symptoms include pallor, weakness, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves blood tests showing microcytic hypochromic anemia. Treatment is oral or intravenous iron supplementation.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Iron deficiency
7. It is a manifestation of severe iron deficiency, caused by depletion of all
available iron stores.
It is the most common cause of anemia in the world.
WHO estimates that IDA affects one-fourth of the global population.
children aged 0-5 years,women of child bearing age group and
pregnant women are at higher risk.
IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA
8. • Iron is a vital trace element in the human body.
• The concentrationof iron in the body is approximately 60 parts per
million[ppm].
• Daily loses that range between 1 and 2 mg occur by epithelial shedding
from the mucous membrane and skin;additional physiological loses
occur through blood loss and pregnancy in women.
• The iron required for hemoglobin synthesis is derived from 2 sources-
diet containing iron and recycling of iron from senescent red cells.
IRON
9. ETIOLOGY
Dietaryinsufficiency Inadequate absorption Increased requirement
• Inadequate diet
• Malnutrition
•Elderly
•Inadequate dietary iron
content
• Infants[milk has very
little iron content]
• Diets that strictly exclude
meat
• Atrophic gastritis
• Malabsoption
syndrome
• Gastrectomy
• Intestinal resection
or bypass
• Chronic diarrhea
• Dietary components
• Physiological
• Period of active
growth and
development
• Premenopausal
women ,especially
during pregnancy
• Chronic blood loss
gastrointestinal
urinary tract
genital tract
• Chronic disease
10. The manifestations of IDA are caused by the reduced oxygen-carrying
capacity of blood that leads to tissue hypoxia and physiological
compensatory mechanisms.
pallor of mucous membrane and skin
weakness
shortness of breath on mild exertion
dizziness
fast or irrgeular heartbeat
pounding or whooshing in ears
headache
Clinical features
11.
12. • several chronic diseases have been associated with IDA-
Chronic kidney disease
chronic heart failure
cancer
inflammatory bowel disease
patient may experience fatigue,leg cramps while climbing
stairs,pagophagia,poormental performance,intolerance for cold and
repeated infections.
Nonavailability of iron to CNS-
• restless leg syndrome
• pica[unusual dietary cravings such as clay].
• Infancy-irreversible cognitive dysfunction.
13. Epithelial defects-
koilonychia[spoonshaped nails]
atrophic gastritis
brittle and longitudnally ridged nails
ORAL MANIFESTATIONS
• Angular chelitis
• diffuse or patchy atrophy of papillae of the tongue leading to a smooth
glossy appearence of the tongue
• lingual varicosity
• xerostomia
• recurrent aphthous ulcers
• burning and tenderness
14. • Hypochromia of RBC-Central pallor increased.
• Anisochromia present.
• Microcytic anisocytic.
• poikilocytosis,pencillike erythrocyte.
• Target cell and reticulocytes present.
• ESR elevated.
• RBC count 30,00,000-40,00,000cells/mm3 of blood.
• Total iron binding capacity-13.1mmol/l.
• Hemoglobin level 4mg/dl/below it.
• MCV and MCH reduced.
• Platelet count increades to 4,50,000/microlitre.
• Increase in erythroid predecessors and absence of stainable iron in the
macrophages as demonstrated by a prussian blue stain.
LABORATORY FINDINGS
15. TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS
Oral supplement of 150-180 mg of elemental iron administered in 2 or
3 divided doses per day.
Intravenous iron therapy in patients who cannot tolerate oral
supplements and those whose daily requirement cannot be met by
the oral route.
18. Plummer-vinson syndrome is a rare condition characterised by
iron deficiency anemia in conjunction withmucosal atrophy of the
esophagus and complaint of dysphagia.
The condition is significant in that it has been associated with a high
frequency of both oral and esophagealsquamous cell
carcinoma;therefore it is considered a premalignant process.
19. • Age - 30-50 years
• Race - Scandinavian or northernEuropean
• Sex-Women
signs and symptoms :
• patients complain of a burning sensation associated with the tongue
and oral mucosa.
• angular cheilitis.
• marked atrophy of lingual papillae,which produces a smooth red
appearence of doral tongue.
CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES
20. • Dysphagia
• An evaluation with endoscopy or esophageal barium contrast
radiographic studies shows the presence of abnormal bands of tissue in
the esophagus,called esophagial webs.
• koilonychia
• other features of anemia
LABORATORY FINDINGS
Microcytic hypochromic anemia
21. • Dietary iron supplementation
• This therapy usually resolves the anemia ,relieves the glossodynia and
may reduce the severity of the esophageal symptoms.
• Patients with plummer vinson syndrome should be evaluated
periodically for oral,hypopharyngeal and esophageal cancer.
TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS
23. • Aplastic anemia is pancytopenia[i.e. simultaneous presence of
anemia,leucopenia and thrombocytopenia]that is caused by the
hypocellular bone marrow in the absence of an abnormal infiltrate or
increased reticulin.
• The condition can be fatal and early diagnosis can help with patient
management.
• It comes under the classification of anemia due to defect in stem cell
proliferation and differentiation.
25. • The exact pathogenesis is unclear.
• Three main mechanisms have been found to lead to hypocellular bone
marrow.
Direct damage to bone marrow by exposure to toxic substances is the
common cause of bone marrow failure.
• It is most often iatrogenic as a result of exposure to chemotherapeutic
agents or radiation.
• The effects on bone marrow are dose dependent and transient at
conventional doses.
PATHOGENESIS
26. Germline defects can cause marrow failure as a result of specific loss of
function.
• These are inherited and manifests in childhood.
• All cells and organs are affected ,they manifests physical anomalies
including multiple organs.
• Fanconi anemia mutations reduce hematopietic stem cells ability to
repair DNA.
Immune mediated destruction of hematopoietic progenitors can lead to
bone marrow suppression.
T cell mdaited destruction may develop spontaneously or often an
immunogenic alteration by exposure to physical,chemical,biological
agents.
• Seronegative hepatitis,eosinophilic fascitis and thymoma are
associated with aplastic anemia but have been labelled idiopathic.
27. • Age - Any age group
• Sex- both genders
• Usually insidious in origin.
• Higher incidence rate in asia,2-3 times more common in East Asians.
• Increased incidence in Asian population is related to environmental
factors since the increase was not found in Asians living in united states.
• Rare in western populations.
CLINICAL FEATURES
28. Anemia and its symptoms like mild progressive weakness and
fatigue,pallor,palpitaions.
Thrombocytopenia-petechiae,ecchymoses,bleeding .
Frequent and recurrent infections ,chills and fever due to neutropenia.
Hemorrhage from skin or mucosal bleeding ,nose,gum,bowel and visual
disturbance caused by retinal bleeding.

29. Mucosal pallor.
Spontaneous gingival bleeding.
Mucosal petechiae.
Purpura
Ecchymoses.
Gingival hyperplasia
mucosal ulceration with minimal erythema at margins
due to deficiency of leukocytes.
ORAL MANIFESTATIONS
30. • Total blood counts in the early stages of the disease may show single
cell line suppression ,most commonly affecting thrombocytes leading to
thromboytopenia.
• All cell lines except lymphocytes are affected -Pancytopenia and
reduced Hb level.
• Reticulocytopenia in conjunction with anemia.
• Erythrocytic macrocytosis,anisopoikilocytosis and neutrophils with
toxic granules.
• platelets are reduced in number and size.
LABORATORY FINDINGS

Marrow is hypocellular with prominent for spaces variable number of
hematopoietic cells.
Normal production of all cell lines is suppressed.
Areas with abnormal erythropoiesis.
BONE MARROW CHANGES
32. Requires atleast 2 of the following criteria to be fulfilled-
1. Hb count less than 10g/dL
2. Platelet count less than 20,000/microlitre
3. Neutrophil count less than 500/mm3
TREATMENT
Involves steps-
