klinefelter turner :: Article Creator Klinefelter Syndrome: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, And Treatment - WebMD Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition in which a boy is born with an extra X chromosome. Instead of the typical XY chromosomes in men, they have XXY, so this condition is also called XXY syndrome. Men with Klinefelter usually don't know they have it until they run into problems trying to have a child. There's no cure, but doctors can treat it. You get the extra X chromosome by chance. Either the egg or the sperm that came together to create you had an extra X chromosome. Older women have a slightly higher chance of having a boy with XXY syndrome, but the chance is small. Men with Klinefelter may have: An extra X chromosome in every cell, which is the most common An extra X chromosome in only some cells, called mosaic Klinefelter, in which you don't have as many symptoms More than one extra X chromosome, whi...

if both parents are carriers for cystic fibrosis :: Article Creator Screening For Cystic Fibrosis Carriers - Health & Wellbeing by Peter Lavelle Every year 70 babies are born in Australia with cystic fibrosis, mostly to parents with no family history of this crippling illness. Experts are calling for more widespread screening for carriers. Published 01/12/2005 Every year, 70 babies are born in Australia with cystic fibrosis. The child suffers serious lung and digestive problems - they don't manufacture a vital protein, which causes secretions to become very sticky and their lungs and pancreas to literally 'gum up'. The lungs become susceptible to infection and digestion doesn't work properly. Treatment is much more effective than it was 20 years ago. Most children with cystic fibrosis now can expect to survive into adulthood. But the average life expectancy is still only in the mid thirties. Cystic fibrosis is a...

blood cancer polycythemia :: Article Creator Rusfertide Earns Breakthrough Therapy Designation In Polycythemia Vera The FDA has granted rusfertide breakthrough therapy designation for patients with polycythemia vera, a step that could speed its path to approval. The FDA granted rusfertide breakthrough therapy designation for patients with polycythemia vera. An investigational drug called rusfertide may soon offer a new treatment option for people living with polycythemia vera, a rare blood cancer that causes the body to produce too many red blood cells. Protagonist Therapeutics announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted rusfertide breakthrough therapy designation, a step that could speed its path to approval. This designation adds to rusfertide's earlier orphan drug and fast track statuses, all of which provide regulatory advantages designed to help new therapies reach patients more quickly. In the new...

sickle cell haemoglobin :: Article Creator Researchers Say Deadly Twist Key To Sickle Cell Disease Patients with sickle cell disease have mutant haemoglobin proteins that form deadly long, stiff fibres inside red blood cells. A research team led by University of Warwick researcher Dr Matthew Turner, propose a mathematical model in the 28 March online issue of PRL to explain the persistent stability of these deadly fibres. The theory suggests that an inherent "twistiness" in the strands that make up the fibres could be the key to their durability and possibly to new treatments. Red blood cells supply oxygen to the body using their cargo of haemoglobin, a protein that can capture and release oxygen. Haemoglobin molecules normally float freely in the cell, but sickle cell patients have a mutated, "sticky," form of haemoglobin that tends to clump together into long fibres. The stiff fibres form a scaffolding that distorts the cells i...

small blood vessel disease brain :: Article Creator Mild Chronic Small Vessel Disease Ups Risk For DementiaEntertainment ... What is mild chronic small vessel disease? Mild chronic small vessel disease, or cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), is an umbrella term for a range of conditions caused by damage to small blood vessels in the brain. An estimated 11 million Americans are living with CSVD, with a 25% chance of strokes caused by the condition and 45% of dementia cases caused by CSVD. CSVD usually results from the narrowing or blockage of the brain vessels due to inflammation, hardening of the arteries, plaque buildup or the thickening of the vessel walls. Consistent and ongoing damage to the brain's blood vessels deprives cells of oxygen and can cause permanent deterioration and dysfunction. Some earlier signs and symptoms of the condition may go unnoticed as symptoms become more severe at later stages of the disease after more...
