Nonspherocytic congenital hemolytic anemia.

the crisis of identity in jhumpa lahiris fiction: interpreter of maladies and the namesake

شکل گیری هویت(identity) مقوله مهمی در ادبیات پراکنده مردم(diasporan literature) می باشد. آثار جومپا لاهیری(jhumpa lahiri) ، نویسنده هندی آمریکایی، در سالهای اخیر تحسین منتقدین را به خود معطوف کرده است. وی در این آثار زندگی مهاجران و تلاش آنان برای پیدا کردن جایگاهشان در یک فرهنگ بیگانه را به تصویر کشیده است. این تجربه همواره با احساساتی نظیر دلتنگی برای گذشته، بیگانگی و دوری همراه است. با این ح...

Acquired and Congenital Hemolytic Anemia.

1. Pediatricians and other general practitioners may not be aware of the significance of central nervous system disease in children who have sickle cell disease, particularly the more subtle silent infarct. 2. Pediatricians frequently fail to order a reticulocyte count or detect splenomegaly on physical examination before referring a patient with anemia. These findings are critical to diagnosin...

Metabolism and disposition of C14-bilirubin in congenital non-hemolytic jaundice.

In mammals, unconjugated bilirubin is rapidly cleared from the circulation and almost quantitatively excreted as a conjugate in the bile (2-4). The efficiency and rapidity of this process indicate that conjugation and subsequent biliary excretion represent the principal pathway of bilirubin disposition. If alternate pathways of bilirubin metabolism exist under physiologic conditions, their leve...

New Insights in the Pathogenesis of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is caused by the increased destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) by anti-RBC autoantibodies with or without complement activation. RBC destruction may occur both by a direct lysis through the sequential activation of the final components of the complement cascade (membrane attack complex), or by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). The pathoge...
