Essays on Blood

One of the most prevalent genetic disorders, hemophilia is characterized by a reduction in the blood’s capacity to clot, which is crucial for stopping bleeding in the bodily tissues after an injury. The illness comes in two different variants, Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B, which are caused by deficiencies in…

Endothelial cells, which are highly specialized to enable precise regulation of chemicals entering or leaving the brain, make up the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Endothelial cell interaction with cellular and non-cellular components controls the barrier’s development and maintenance (Obermeier et al., 2013). Extracellular matrix, pericytes, and astrocytes in particular offer both…

An essential component of the human body, the heart continuously circulates nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood throughout the body. Additionally, the heart transports immunological components, waste products like carbon dioxide out from the tissues, and other functioning cells that help maintain hemostasis. Five to six liters of blood are pumped out of…

The total number of calories needed by a person to keep up bodily processes like breathing and blood circulation when the body is at rest is called basal metabolic rate. (3280) Briga and Verhulst This study seeks to ascertain whether there is a connection between body mass and basal metabolic…

The sole treatment for sickle cell anemia, an inherited condition, is bone marrow transplantation with gene therapy. The beta GAG GTG point mutation, which causes glutamic acid to be replaced for valine at position 6 in the beta globin chain, is the cause of SCA. The sickle gene’s pleiotropic character…

A type of cancer known as hematologic malignancy develops in the immune system cells or bone marrow of organs that produce blood (Zhang et al. 2017, p.02). One of the main causes of death worldwide and some of the frequent malignancies are hematologic illnesses (Tomblyn, Winkfield & Dabaja 2012, p.368;…

The Lymphocyte Proliferation Assay (LPA) measures the lymphocytes’ capacity to proliferate clonally when stimulated in vitro by an additional antigen, mitogen, or chemical. LPA involves obtaining a sample of the victim’s white blood cells and subjecting them to mitogens in order to qualitatively examine the immune system. The mitogen will…

A sensitive method for measuring and identifying minuscule amounts of a drug in the blood is known as radioimmunoassay (RIA). Antibodies are combined with a material that possesses radioactive qualities, such as an isotope, and delivered into the blood sample. The radioactive elements become free when the substances that do…

Lymphocytes, or white blood cells, are thought to be a crucial component of the immune system in humans. These cells can be divided into T cells and B cells once they have reached adulthood. When it comes to the body’s immunity, both groups are essential. Although both groups of cells…

B lymphocytes, often known as B cells, are a type of white blood cell (WBCs). In essence, B cells fall under the WBC subgroup of lymphocytes. B cells are essential for the adaptive immune system because they secrete antibodies, according to Murphy (2012). The author also asserts that B cells…

The primary cause of illness and mortality, nosocomial bloodstream infections are the subject of the investigation. According to death certificates, these infections are the tenth most common cause of death in the US. Additionally, the study found that age-adjusted mortality had increased by 78%. According to studies, 36% of recipients…

The reduction of the blood’s capacity to clot is connected with hemophilia, a frequent type of inherited illness. When a person sustains an injury, clotting is a crucial mechanism for stopping bleeding in the body tissues. Therefore, haemophilia causes excessive and protracted bleeding in the person who has bruising (Gilbert,…
