Haemolysis indicates that there is shortening of the normal red cell lifespan of 120 days. There are many causes.
To compensate, the bone marrow may increase its output of red cells six- to eightfold by increasing the proportion of red cells produced, expanding the volume of active marrow, and releasing reticulocytes prematurely. Anaemia occurs only if the rate of destruction exceeds this increased production rate.

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.
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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Concept
An anemia in which there is a predominant number of
megaloblasstic erthyroblasts, and relatively few
normoblasts, among the hyperplastic erythroid cells in
bone marrow
3. Megaloblastic Anemia
Megaloblastic anemia is an anemia (of macrocytic classification) that results
from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production.
When DNA synthesis is impaired, the cell cycle cannot progress from the G2
growth stage to the mitosis (M) stage. This leads to continuing cell growth
without division, which presents as macrocytosis.
Megaloblastic anemia has a rather slow onset, especially when compared
to that of other anemias
anemia or pancytopenia caused by impaired DNA synthesis commonly due to
deficiency of vitamin B12 or folic acid
4.
5.
6. Etiology
95 % of cases due to:
VIT B12 deficiency
Folic Acid Deficiency
5% of cases due to:
Ant metabolic Drugs
Inborn error of metabolism
7. Cobalamin (vitamin B12)
It is solely synthesized by microorganisms and the only
source for humans is food of animal origin like meat, fish
and dairy products.
Adult daily losses (mainly in urine and feces) are 1-3 ug
and so daily requirements are also 1-3 ug.
Body stores are of the order of 2-3 mg, sufficient for 3-4
years if supplies are completely cut off.

11. Vit B12 plays important role in two reactions:
• Necessary in the synthesis of methionine from homocysteine.
1. In this reaction both vit B12 and folic acid are involved.
2. B12 acts as a co-enzyme (methyl cobalamin) for methyltransferase.

• Vit B12 is important in conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA in Krebs
cycle.

14. Pernicious Anemia
Most common cause of cobalamin deficiency
caused by failure of the gastric mucosa to
secrete intrinsic factor
Immune Abnormalities
1. Anti–parietal cell antibodies
2. Anti–intrinsic factor antibodies -Two types
Blocking” antibodies, which block the binding
of cobalamin to IF
Binding” antibodies, which bind to the
cobalamin–IF complex and prevent the
complex from binding to receptors in the
ileum
15. The Schilling test
Radioactive cobalamin (Cbl*) is taken orally; followed by injection of a saturating
dose of non-radioactive cobalamin.
The level of Cbl* is measured in the urine. In pernicious anemia the excreted levels of
Cbl* are low.
If intrinsic factor is given with the Cbl* the Cbl* levels will correct in PA, but not in
ileal malabsorption.
17. Folate
Folic acid is parent compound of large family of natural folate
compounds.
Its highest concentration is found in liver, yeast, spinach, other
greens and nuts.
Folate easily destroyed by heating, particularly in large volumes of
water.
Total folate in adult is ~10mg with liver containing the largest store.
Daily adult requirements are ~100 μg and so stores are sufficient for
3-4 months in normal adult and severe folate deficiency may
develop rapidly.
18.
19. Absorption
Absorption: during absorption in the upper small
intestine, folates are converted to MTHF. Once inside the
cells they are converted to folate polyglutamates.
Location: duodenum and jejunum.
Transport: folate found in circulation as mono-glutamate
MTHF, transported to the liver and B.M by bound loosely
to proteins including albumin and α2-macroglobulin.
20.
21.
22. Biochemical basis of megaloblastic
anemia
The folate is needed as coenzyme 5,10-methylene THF polyglutame
for conversion of dUMP to dTMP.
In deficiencies of folate or cobalamin, there is failure to convert of
dUMP to dTMP; precursor of dTTP.
The availablity of 5,10-MTHF is reduced in either cobalamin or folate
deficiency.
in cobalamin deficiency due to failure of formation of THF, the
substrate on which folate polyglutame are build, MTHF
accumulates in plasma and intracsellular concentration fall; termed
as THF starvation or methylfolate trap.
23. Pathogensis
Megaloblastic anemia are group of disorders characterized by distinct morphological pattern in
hematpoitic stem cells.
A common feature is a defect in DNA synthesis with lesser alterations in RNA and protien synthesis,
leading to state of unbalanced cell growth and impaired cell division.
Most RBCs are not resting but vainly engaged in attempting to double their DNA,with frequent arrest
in S phase and lesser degree of arrest in other phases of cycle.
An increased percentage of RBCs have increased DNA content is expressed morphologically as
larger than normal “immature nucli” with finely particulate chromatin whereas the relatively
unimpaired RNA and protein synthesis results in larger cells with greater “mature” cytoplasm and cell
volume.
The microscopic appearance of this nuclear-cytoplasmic asynchrony is morphologically discribed as
“megaloblastic”.
24. Clinical features
Many patients are diagnosed through finding of a raised MCV on rotuine CBC.
The main clinical features in more severe cases are those of anemia.
Anorexia is usually marked and there may be weight loss, diarrhea or
constipation.
Glossitis, angular cheilosis and mild fever in more severely anemic patients,
Juandice(unconjugated) and reversible skin melanin hyperpigmentation also
may occur with deficiency of cobalamin or folates.
Thrombocytopenia sometimes leads to bruising and this may be aggrevated by
vitamin C deficiency or alcohol in malnourished patients.
Anemia and low leukocyte count may predispose to infections, particularly of
respiratory and urinary tract.
Cobalamin deficiency has also been associated with impaired bactericidal
function of phagocytes.
