Thalassemia is caused by impaired globin gene production, which can result in decreased or absent alpha or beta globin chains. This leads to various forms of thalassemia depending on which chain is affected and how severe the deficiency is. Alpha thalassemia traits typically do not require treatment, while more severe forms can cause anemia. Beta thalassemia major requires lifelong red blood cell transfusions and iron chelation therapy.
Thalassemia syndromes are quantitative defects in globin chain synthesis where heme synthesis is normal. The main types are alpha and beta thalassemia. Alpha thalassemia involves reduced alpha globin chain synthesis leading to excess non-alpha chains forming abnormal hemoglobins like HbH and Hb Barts. Beta thalassemia involves reduced beta chain synthesis. This causes imbalanced globin chain production and hemolysis. The severity depends on the number of affected globin genes and can range from thalassemia minor to major. Thalassemia major requires lifelong blood transfusions.

Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in large numbers of red blood cells being destroyed, which leads to anemia.
Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder caused by mutations in the genes that control globin production. There are two main types - alpha thalassemia affects alpha globin genes, while beta thalassemia affects beta globin genes. Thalassemia severity depends on the number of affected genes, ranging from no symptoms to severe anemia requiring chronic blood transfusions. The thalassemia gene is maintained in populations where malaria is common due to heterozygote resistance to the disease.
Thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by variants or missing genes that affect hemoglobin production. There are two main types: alpha thalassemia affects alpha globin gene expression, while beta thalassemia is caused by a deficiency in beta globin production. People with beta thalassemia experience anemia and other health issues due to the lack of functional hemoglobin in red blood cells. Treatment involves regular blood transfusions combined with iron chelation therapy or bone marrow transplants in severe cases.
Inherited blood disorders like thalassemia are caused by abnormal hemoglobin production and are inherited from parents. There are two main types, alpha and beta thalassemia, which can range in severity depending on the specific genes affected. Signs and symptoms include iron overload, infection risk, bone deformities, enlarged spleen, slowed growth, and heart problems. Thalassemia is diagnosed through blood tests and DNA analysis and treated through blood transfusions, stem cell transplants, or gene/bone marrow therapies. Prevention efforts focus on genetic counseling and testing of families with a history of thalassemia.

Other types of non-immune haemolytic anaemias such as paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria, red cell fragmentation syndromes, and traumatic cardiac haemolytic anaemia are also summarized.
The Schilling test is used to evaluate vitamin B12 absorption in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency. It has multiple stages where radiolabeled vitamin B12 is given orally and/or intravenously along with intrinsic factor. Urine is collected to measure absorption. Abnormal absorption could indicate pernicious anemia from lack of intrinsic factor or other causes of malabsorption. The test helps differentiate these causes of vitamin B12 deficiency.
Polycythemia vera is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by increased red blood cells, blood volume, and often leukocytosis and thrombocytosis. The bone marrow is hypercellular with increased myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocyte cells. A common genetic mutation involves the JAK2 gene, resulting in continuously activated tyrosine kinase signaling and driving cell proliferation. A JAK2 V617F mutation is present in the majority of polycythemia vera patients.
Polycythemia vera is a rare blood cancer where the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells. It is caused by a mutation in the JAK2 gene. Symptoms include headache, dizziness, itchiness, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves blood tests showing elevated red blood cells and the JAK2 mutation. Treatment focuses on reducing blood cell counts through phlebotomy and medications to control symptoms and prevent complications like blood clots. While incurable, polycythemia vera can be managed long-term.
This document summarizes information about glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. It is an X-linked genetic disorder characterized by low levels of the G6PD enzyme. This enzyme protects red blood cells from oxidative damage. Those with the deficiency are at risk for hemolytic anemia when exposed to triggers like infections, certain foods or medications. Symptoms can include jaundice and fatigue. The deficiency provides some protection against malaria and is most common in those of African and Mediterranean descent. Management involves avoiding triggers and treating infections promptly.
Hemoglobinopathies and thalassemia are genetic blood disorders that result in abnormal hemoglobin. Hemoglobinopathies are caused by mutations in the globin chains of hemoglobin molecules, while thalassemias are caused by reduced or absent globin chain production. Sickle cell disease is a hemoglobinopathy caused by a mutation in the beta globin chain that results in sickle-shaped red blood cells. Thalassemias include alpha and beta thalassemia, which are characterized by decreased alpha or beta globin chain production leading to anemia. Management involves blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, and in some cases stem cell transplantation.
Hemolytic anemia occurs when the bone marrow is unable to increase production to make up for the premature destruction of red blood cells and the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells either in the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or elsewhere in the body (extravascular). It has numerous possible causes, ranging from relatively harmless to life-threatening. The general classification of hemolytic anemia is either inherited or acquired. Treatment depends on the cause and nature of the breakdown.Symptoms of hemolytic anemia are similar to other forms of anemia (fatigue and shortness of breath), but in addition the breakdown of red cells leads to jaundice and increases the risk of particular long-term complications such as gallstones and pulmonary hypertension.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help boost feelings of calmness, happiness and focus.
This document discusses hemolytic anemia and focuses on sickle cell disease. It defines hemolytic anemia as increased destruction of red blood cells outside the bone marrow. Key diagnostic findings include increased reticulocyte count, hyperbilirubinemia, decreased haptoglobin, and increased lactate dehydrogenase. Hemolytic anemias are classified as hereditary defects within red blood cells or acquired external causes. Sickle cell disease results from a hereditary hemoglobinopathy and causes chronic hemolytic anemia. Complications include infections, acute chest syndrome, stroke, leg ulcers, splenic sequestration, and retinopathy. Diagnosis is made by finding sickle cells on peripheral smear and abnormal hem
Dr. S. Ismat Bukhari's document discusses G6PD deficiency, the most common enzyme deficiency worldwide. It affects over 200 million individuals, predominantly in areas like the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. G6PD deficiency is caused by mutations in the G6PD gene and results in inadequate protection of red blood cells from oxidative stress. This can lead to hemolysis, jaundice, and anemia, especially after exposure to oxidizing drugs or foods. The document outlines the inheritance, clinical manifestations, treatment, and screening of G6PD deficiency.

It then covers the etiological, morphological and pathophysiological classifications of anemia. Under the etiological classification, it describes anemias caused by blood loss, impaired red blood cell formation, and excessive red blood cell destruction. It also discusses the clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, complications and prevention of IDA in children.
Dr Sarath Menon presents an approach to diagnosing and classifying hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia results from increased red blood cell destruction and bone marrow compensation. It can be congenital/hereditary or acquired. Classification includes intracorpuscular defects like hemoglobinopathies and enzymopathies, and extracorpuscular factors like mechanical destruction, toxic agents, infections, and autoimmune causes. Diagnosis involves confirming hemolysis and determining the etiology through history, physical exam, peripheral smear, and ancillary lab tests. Common etiologies discussed in detail include sickle cell disease, thalassemia, G6PD deficiency, membrane defects like hereditary spherocytosis, and autoimmune
This document discusses non-transfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT), including HbE/β thalassemia. It classifies HbE/β thalassemia into severe, moderate, and mild based on hemoglobin levels and clinical symptoms. It also discusses transfusion therapy for NTDT, indicating when regular transfusions should start based on hemoglobin drop, organ enlargement, and other factors. The document further discusses chelation therapy for managing iron overload in NTDT, covering various chelating agents like deferoxamine, deferiprone, and deferasirox.
Alpha thalassemia is caused by mutations in the genes responsible for producing alpha globin, resulting in excessive destruction of red blood cells and anemia. It is characterized by mild to severe anemia, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and other symptoms. Treatment involves regular blood transfusions, folic acid supplements, and iron chelation therapy. Bone marrow transplant may cure severe cases. Beta thalassemia is caused by mutations in the beta globin gene and is characterized by severe anemia and other symptoms from an early age.

seminar on Thalassemia by Dr. habib Dr. mehadi Dr. asadDr. Habibur Rahim
Dr. Habibur Rahman Bhuiyan and other doctors presented a seminar on thalassemia. They discussed a case of an 8-year-old boy with hereditary hemolytic anemia and symptoms of not growing well, pallor, and abdominal distension. The seminar covered the history, epidemiology, genetics, clinical presentations, complications, investigations, and management of different types of thalassemia including beta thalassemia major, beta thalassemia intermedia, HbE beta thalassemia, and alpha thalassemia. Investigations discussed included complete blood count, peripheral blood film, hemoglobin electrophoresis, and radiological imaging.
Thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies are blood disorders characterized by decreased or abnormal hemoglobin production. Thalassemias result from reduced or absent globin chain synthesis, causing an imbalance between globin chains. Hemoglobinopathies involve the synthesis of abnormal hemoglobin variants. The most common thalassemias are alpha and beta thalassemia. Alpha thalassemia is caused by deletions of alpha globin genes and ranges from asymptomatic to hydrops fetalis. Beta thalassemia results from mutations that decrease beta chain production, leading to excess unpaired alpha chains and hemolysis. Clinical severity depends on degree of beta chain reduction.
This document discusses thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder caused by mutations in genes controlling globin production. It defines different types of alpha and beta thalassemia based on the number of affected globin genes, ranging from silent carriers with no symptoms to more severe forms requiring chronic blood transfusions or bone marrow transplants. The document also covers demographics of thalassemia and management strategies for different conditions, such as maintaining hemoglobin levels or chelation therapy to reduce iron overload from transfusions.
This document summarizes the key points about thalassemia. Thalassemia is a genetic disorder where there is a reduction or absence in the production of hemoglobin subunits alpha and beta. There are two main types: alpha-thalassemia caused by deletion of alpha chains, and beta-thalassemia caused by mutations in beta chains. Beta-thalassemia is more common. Homozygous individuals are severely affected and can die in childhood without treatment, while heterozygous individuals are less severely affected and can live long lives. The document outlines the different genotypes and phenotypes of alpha and beta-thalassemia.
This document discusses thalassemias and hemoglobinopathies. It begins by describing Hb-A, the major adult hemoglobin, and then defines thalassemias as syndromes arising from decreased or absent globin chain synthesis. It distinguishes thalassemias, where the rate of globin chain synthesis is affected, from hemoglobinopathies, where abnormal hemoglobin variants are synthesized. The document outlines the modes of inheritance of these conditions and how different thalassemias are named based on the affected globin chain. It provides more detailed descriptions of alpha and beta thalassemias, including their genetic causes and clinical presentations.
Hemoglobinopathies are genetic disorders that result in abnormalities in the structure or synthesis of hemoglobin. There are two main types: qualitative abnormalities that change the structure of the globin chains, and quantitative abnormalities that reduce globin chain production (thalassemias). Thalassemias are caused by mutations that decrease or eliminate alpha or beta globin chain synthesis. This leads to imbalanced globin chain production and severe anemia. The most severe form is beta thalassemia major, which requires lifelong blood transfusions if untreated. Beta thalassemia trait is a milder form with microcytic anemia and elevated hemoglobin A2 levels.
There are two main types of thalassemia - alpha and beta thalassemia. Alpha thalassemia is caused by a deficiency or absence of alpha globin chains, while beta thalassemia results from a defective or reduced production of beta globin chains. Thalassemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and is common in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian and African populations. Regular blood transfusions along with iron chelation therapy are the mainstay of treatment for thalassemia major to prevent complications from anemia and iron overload. Complications can affect the heart, liver, endocrine system and bones if not properly managed.
This document provides an overview of enzymes. It states that enzymes are proteins with catalytic properties due to their ability to specifically activate biological reactions. It notes that enzymes are responsible for metabolic processes in living organisms.
This document discusses thalassemias, which are hereditary disorders involving reduced synthesis of one or more globin polypeptide chains. It is classified into alpha and beta thalassemias. Alpha thalassemia involves defective synthesis of alpha globin chains, while beta thalassemia involves reduced beta chain synthesis. The classification ranges from severe homozygous forms like hydrops fetalis to mild heterozygous forms like thalassemia minor. The clinical features, laboratory findings, and treatment approaches are described for different forms of alpha and beta thalassemias. Prevention can be achieved through antenatal screening and diagnosis.
This document summarizes Alpha Thalassemia. It discusses the molecular pathology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations including Hydrops syndrome and Hb H disease, diagnosis using various PCR techniques, and prenatal screening. Alpha Thalassemia results from deletions or mutations affecting the alpha globin genes, leading to excess beta or gamma chains and anemia. Clinical severity depends on the number of functional alpha globin genes.
Thalassemia is a blood disorder caused by a genetic defect that results in reduced or absent globin chains needed to form hemoglobin. There are two main types: alpha thalassemia affects alpha globin production and beta thalassemia affects beta globin production. Symptoms range from mild anemia to severe anemia requiring lifelong blood transfusions depending on which globin is affected and whether the individual has one or two defective genes. Management involves regular blood transfusions along with iron chelation therapy to prevent damage from iron overload.

It describes different types of obstruction including dynamic, adynamic, closed loop, strangulation, hernias, volvulus, intussusception, adhesions, bands, gallstones, ascariasis, bezoars, food bolus, stercoliths, meconium ileus, various congenital causes like atresias, malrotation, and paralytic ileus. Specific changes that occur proximal and at the site of obstruction are increased peristalsis, congestion, edema, ischemia, necrosis, gangrene, bacterial translocation and toxemia.
Introduction of intestinal obstruction Pallavi Shekhar Medical College kolkataChirantan MD
The document discusses intestinal obstruction, defining it as a lack of intestinal transit. It is classified in several ways: dynamically as intraluminal, intramural, or extramural; depending on the site as proximal small bowel, distal small bowel, or large bowel; congenitally or acquired; and by pathological changes as simple, strangulated, or closed loop obstruction. A pie chart shows that adhesions are the most common underlying cause of intestinal obstruction at 40%, followed by obstructed hernias at 15% and carcinoma at 15%.
Clinical aspect of intestinal obstruction Ritasman Baisya Medical College kol...Chirantan MD
The key clinical features of intestinal obstruction are abdominal pain, vomiting, distension, and constipation. The location and cause of the obstruction impact the symptoms. Pain is usually colicky and worsens with distension. Vomiting starts with digested food and progresses to feculent material. Distension varies by location. Constipation is usually absolute with no feces or flatus passed. Fever, hypokalemia, and increased serum enzymes indicate complications like ischemia. Strangulation causes severe continuous pain, shock, and localized tenderness. Proximal small bowel obstructions present with severe vomiting and dehydration while large bowel obstructions have later vomiting and earlier distension.
Imaging modalities of intestinal obstruction Mithilesh Kumar Medical College ...Chirantan MD
This document discusses various imaging modalities used to diagnose intestinal obstruction including radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, nuclear imaging, and angiography. Plain X-rays can show dilated bowel loops and air-fluid levels. CT provides more detail of bowel wall abnormalities. MRI is useful for assessing strangulation. Ultrasound evaluates bowel peristalsis. Nuclear imaging detects inflammation. Angiography diagnoses internal hernias. Barium studies demonstrate characteristic signs of intussusception and volvulus. Imaging plays a key role in evaluating intestinal obstructions.

This document provides an overview of the general management of intestinal obstruction. It outlines the key steps in the algorithm including laboratory investigations like blood tests and imaging, supportive treatments like nasogastric aspiration and IV fluids, use of antibiotics and blood transfusions if needed, monitoring in the ICU, use of indwelling catheters, and clinical follow up to monitor for improvement or need for surgery. The goal of management is to reduce bowel distension, correct fluid and electrolyte losses, treat any infection, and determine if conservative treatment is sufficient or if surgery is required.
Surgical management of intestinal obstruction Shinjan Patra Medical College K...Chirantan MD
Surgical management of intestinal obstruction involves laparotomy after optimization if there is no resolution of a partial obstruction after 24-48 hours of conservative treatment, or if there is a complete or strangulated obstruction. During surgery, the site of obstruction is identified and the nature of obstruction determined in order to remove it. The viability of the gut is assessed and resection and anastomosis performed if non-viable. Special considerations include preventing recurrences through hernia repair or lysis of adhesions, bypass surgery, or temporary colostomy/ileostomy without anastomosis. Post-surgical complications can include recurrence, burst abdomen, abscesses, or hernias.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
