Anaemias - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

These lecture notes focus on Diagnostic Biochemistry and Hematology, particularly discussing Sickle Cell Anemia and Thalassemias. It delves into the structure of hemoglobin, the synthesis of various types of hemoglobin, and how genetic defects impact the production of normal hemoglobin chains. The lecture covers the different forms of hemoglobin (Hb A, Hb F, Hb A2) present in adult blood and explains their composition. It also discusses the sequence of hemoglobin synthesis in early life, from...

this document is a detailed summary of anaemias that are essential for medical schools' finals.

Characteristics of Dysplasia - ANSWER-Loss of uniformity of cell size and shape = pleomorphism, Loss of tissue orientation, Nuclear changes - increase nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio and clumped chromatin Reversible cell changes to injury - ANSWER-Cellular and mitochondrial swelling due to reduce ATP leading to reduce activity of Na/K and Ca pumps, Membrane blebbing, Nuclear chromatin clumping, Ribosomal / polysomal detachment (reduced protein synthesis). Irreversible cell changes to ...
