    Extractions: history Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the structure of hemaglobin (Hb). In low oxygen levels, the mutant hemaglobin molecules clump and the red blood cells (RBC) are deformed into a sickle-like shape. This differs from their normal doughnut shape. Sickle cell RBCs become trapped in capillary walls, causing pain and possibly damaging organs. history SCA arises from a missense mutation (glutamine to valine) in residue 6 of the beta subunit of hemoglobin. The nonpolarity of valine, located on in a normally exposed region of the molecule, favors hydrophobic interactions with phenylalanine 85 and leucine 88 in other beta subunits. In low oxygen concentrations, multiple subunits bind and reduce the solubility of the polymeric beta subunits.

It primarily affects people of African descent. Symptoms include joint and bone pain, feeling tired, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, and sores on the legs. Sickle cell anemia also slows growth and can delay puberty. Treatments are used to help symptoms. They include folic acid to help build new red blood cells, antibiotics to manage infections, and wound care or surgery for ulcers on the lower legs. There is no cure.

    Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic disorder of the blood.

    Extractions: The Tyler Medical Clinic Assisted Conception - Affordable Infertility Treatments - List of Diseases - Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic disorder of the blood, affecting approximately 72,000 individuals in the United States. It is characterized by anemia, frequent infections, and unpredictable and severe pains in the back, chest, abdomen and limbs. Sickle Cell Disease is most common among those of African descent. An estimated 8 to 12 percent of African Americans carry the sickle cell gene. It is also fairly common in people from Mediterranean countries, Middle East and India. Symptoms of Sickle Cell Disease may appear as early as in 6 months of age and include infections, pain and swelling of hands and feet, enlargement of the abdomen and heart. It is caused by a defective gene, producing an abnormal form of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the component of the red blood cell responsible for oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues. Red blood cells do not retain their normal disc shape once they release oxygen, instead they take on a sickle shape. Their distorted shape makes it difficult for the red blood cells to pass through vessels, preventing oxygen and vital nutrients from reaching organs and tissues. This manifests into intense pain and patients also become vulnerable to infections. Blood flow to the brain may be affected and could lead to a stroke. Sickle Cell Disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Both parents must be carriers and each must pass on the sickle cell gene for the child to be affected. Individuals who carry the trait generally do not show any symptoms. A simple blood test can determine whether an individual is a carrier or not. People who are from an at risk population should be tested. Diagnosis of the disease itself is accomplished through a test called electrophoresis.

    Extractions: Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell disease chiefly is a disorder limited to individuals of African descent and Hispanics of Caribbean ancestry. However, the disorder is also common in the middle east, Latin America and in the Mediterranean countries. Millions of individuals worldwide suffer complications from sickle cell disease. Data from the US indicate that at least 2 million African-Americans have the sickle cell trait. The disease affects both genders equally. Despite all the innovations in therapeutics, the majority of the affected individuals do not survive past the age of 50. Sickle cell is caused by a defect in the hemoglobin molecule. Hemoglobin is the compound which binds to oxygen and when hemoglobin is deformed, sickle cell anemia can occur. Individual who have sickle cell have their hemoglobin named as Hb S. The disease is inherited genetically- each parent donates one gene. An individual must have two genes to have the disease and if there is only gene present, the individual is a carrier of the disease. In order for sickle cell to be passed to the next generation, both parents must pass the defective gene to the child. However, because the gene is recessive (not dominant), the chance of a child having sickle cell anemia is 25%, there is a 50% chance that the child may be a carrier and 25% chance that the child may be normal.

Potentially lethal human disease, inherited as an autosomal recessive, caused by a mutation in a gene coding for the beta subunit of the oxygen-transporting protein haemoglobin. Under conditions of low oxygen tension, the altered beta-globin molecule causes haemoglobin to aggregate forming rod-like arrays that distort the cell membrane forcing red blood cells to become sickle-shaped. The sickled red blood cells are damaged and rapidly removed from the circulation causing anaemia.

    Extractions: H O M E Let herbs be your medicine and medicine be your herbs! Sickle Cell Anemia When the oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells is impaired it results in a condition known as anemia ; there are many reasons for anemia all of which describe this deficiency in the oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells within the body. Due to a genetic defect some individuals have red blood cells that are sickle or crescent shaped and this impairs the ability of the cells to carry oxygen leading to chronic anemia in a condition called sickle cell anemia-which is an inherited disorder in all individuals who suffer from it. Because of this peculiar shape, the red blood cells often clog the smaller of the blood vessels and this leads to an impairment of the oxygen varying capacity of the blood leading to the appearance of the symptoms typical of sickle cell anemia; thus a physical defect in the morphology of the cell leads to its inability in delivering oxygen. Due to this clogging on the blood vessels, there may be a severe deprivation of oxygen in the tissues and this leads to a sickle cell crisis; which is a painful episode physically manifested in the body of the individual. People of European descent rarely have this genetic defect and therefore the disorder or the particular genetic trait occurs mostly in people of African descent, and also in people from the Mediterranean countries, the Middle East and India, and the Middle East; the cause of this illness is genetic and therefore strictly inherited being passed from parent to child.

On the day of admission, the most frequent medications given were morphine, ketorolac, and diphenhydramine, while other medications included acetaminophen, acetaminophen with codeine, amitriptyline, and hydromorphone. The administered doses of morphine were in the subtherapeutic to low therapeutic range in 85% of the cases. Doses of the other medications tended to be in the low therapeutic range. The average MQS score of medications prescribed on the first day of admission was 22, but the average score of the medications actually administered was 16, indicating suboptimal pain treatment despite high initial levels of pain intensity. Both the MQS scores and the pain scores decreased each day, and the average length of stay was 4 to 5 days. These findings indicate that the administered doses of pain medications are often subtherapeutic for children with SCD during an acute vaso-occlusive episode. Children in Pain From Sickle Cell Disease May Not Receive Adequate Pain Relief
