Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

2. Defination of Anaemia
The condition that results from the inability of the
erythropoietic tissue to maintain normal haemoglobin
concentration on account of inadequate supply of one
or more nutrients leading to reduction in the total
circulating haemoglobin.

Nutritional Anaemia
3. Causes of Anaemia
By the absence of any dietary essential that is
involved in haemoglobin formation or by poor
absorption of these dietary essentials.
By lack of dietary iron or high quality protein.
By lack of vitamin B6, vitamin C , Vitamin E.
By lack of copper.

Nutritional Anaemia
7. Types of Anaemia
i. Hypochromic and microcytic:-
Insufficiency of iron for haemoglobin formation
RBCs are pale and small.
ii. Megaloblastic :-
deficiency of folate and vitamin B12
RBCs irregular in shape and size, usally larger than normal
Aka orthochromic macrocytic anaemia.
iii. Dimorphic :-
If both iron and folate or vitamin B12 are deficient it give rise
to hypochromic macrocytic or dimorphic anaemia.

Nutritional Anaemia
12. Treatment
̶ Oral administration of inorganic iron in the ferrous
form – ferrous sulphate 50-200 mg 3 times daily for
adults and 6mg/kg for children.
̶ Iron is best absorbed when stomach is empty but it
tends to cause gastric irritation.
̶ Gastrointestinal side effects can be minimized by
increasing dose slowly until the requirement is
reached and by giving iron in divided doses at least 3
times/day.
̶ Use of chelated form of iron can improve absorption.
̶ Ascorbic acid helps in Fe absorption.

cells are macrocytic
Occurs mainly in middle aged and elderly person and may
be genetic
Arises as autoimmune disease as antibodies against gastric
mucosa can probably be responsible for destroying
mechanism of producing IF

Chronic alcoholism, poverty, religious taboos and
dietary fads can also cause B12 deficiency.
2. Inadequate absorption and utilization of B12
3. Inadequate utilization due to presence of B12
antagonists

3. Education
Promotion of consumption of pulses, green leafy vegetables
and meat products – rich in bioavailable iron,particularly
by pregnant and lactating mother.
Addition of iron richfoods to the weaning foods of infants.
Promotion of home gardening to increase the availability of
common iron rich food such as green leafy vegetables.
4. Fortification
Fortification of a commonly consumed food item with iron
has been considered as one of the practical approaches for
the prevention and control of iron deficiency anaemia.
