The document discusses a social project on Thalassemia undertaken at the Indian Red Cross Society in Ahmedabad. It provides background information on the Indian Red Cross Society, including its establishment, objectives, activities, and organizational structure. It then outlines the objectives, scope and research methodology of the study conducted on the Thalassemia program. The study involved collecting data from the IRCS Ahmedabad and other sources to analyze awareness levels among students and the treatment and support provided to patients.Thalassemia

This document discusses thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder characterized by reduced or absent hemoglobin. There are two main types: alpha thalassemia affects hemoglobin production; beta thalassemia has four forms ranging from mild (trait) to severe (major). Symptoms include anemia, fatigue, bone changes. Treatment involves blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, and potentially splenectomy or bone marrow transplant.Thalassemia

The document discusses thalassemia, a group of inherited blood disorders characterized by reduced or absent globin chains. It covers the basics of alpha and beta thalassemia including genetic basis, classification, clinical outcomes, complications, and management approaches like transfusions, chelation therapy, splenectomy, and immunizations. Key points include the varying severity of alpha and beta thalassemia syndromes depending on which globin chains are affected, the risk of iron overload and related organ damage without proper chelation therapy, and the goal of splenectomy to reduce transfusion needs in severe cases.Thalassemia

Alpha thalassemia is caused by mutations in the genes responsible for producing alpha globin, resulting in excessive destruction of red blood cells and anemia. It is characterized by mild to severe anemia, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and other symptoms. Treatment involves regular blood transfusions, folic acid supplements, and iron chelation therapy. Bone marrow transplant may cure severe cases. Beta thalassemia is caused by mutations in the beta globin gene and is characterized by severe anemia and other symptoms from an early age. Treatment focuses on blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy.Thalassemia

This document discusses thalassemia prevention in Pakistan. It provides statistics on the incidence of beta-thalassemia major and trait in Pakistan. It describes the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern and the 25% risk of offspring being affected if both parents are carriers. Methods for prevention discussed include carrier screening, genetic counseling, and prenatal diagnosis. Prenatal diagnosis involves chorionic villus sampling to obtain fetal DNA for analysis of prevalent thalassemia mutations. While abortion is allowed in Islam prior to 120 days for serious untreatable conditions, medical ethics for Muslims is based on Islamic jurisprudence and consensus of scholars.Thalassemia

Thalasemia adalah penyakit anemia keturunan yang disebabkan oleh kekurangan produksi hemoglobin. Ia boleh menyebabkan gejala seperti lesu, pucat dan gangguan fungsi organ. Terdapat beberapa jenis thalasemia seperti minor, major dan intermedia, bergantung pada tahap keparahan.

Thalassemia is caused by defective production of the globin portion of hemoglobin, resulting in an imbalance of globin chain production. There are two main types: alpha thalassemia involves a defect in alpha chain synthesis, while beta thalassemia involves a defect in beta chain synthesis. Beta thalassemia major is the most severe form, causing severe anemia starting in infancy that requires lifelong blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy. Beta thalassemia intermedia is milder, while beta thalassemia minor causes few or no symptoms. Alpha thalassemia can range from the lethal hydrops fetalis form to asymptomatic alpha thalassemia trait. Diagnosis involves bloodThalassemia

This presentation summarizes the management and prevention of Thalassemia. [1] Thalassemia Major is a blood disorder where the bone marrow cannot produce sufficient red blood cells or keep them alive, requiring lifelong blood transfusions. [2] Regular transfusions lead to iron overload without chelation therapy, damaging vital organs. [3] Prevention relies on public awareness of carrier screening and antenatal diagnosis to reduce the 8,000-10,000 new Thalassemia Major cases born in India each year.Thalasemia

The document discusses thalassemias, which are inherited autosomal recessive blood disorders caused by genetic defects that result in reduced synthesis of one of the globin chains. This causes anemia. It describes the prevalence of different types of thalassemias in various regions. It specifically discusses alpha and beta thalassemias, their genetic causes and effects, inheritance patterns, and treatment options such as blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, and bone marrow transplantation.Thalassemia, blood,disorder,hemoglobin,red .cells

Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder where the body produces unhealthy red blood cells and less hemoglobin. It is caused by mutations in the genes that make hemoglobin. There are two main types - alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, and pale skin due to anemia. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on blood transfusions and chelation therapy to manage excess iron in the blood from the transfusions.

The document summarizes a case of a 16 month old female patient named Naseeba who presented with pallor and difficulty breathing for the past month and 5 days respectively. She was diagnosed with thalassemia major based on her history of severe anemia requiring regular blood transfusions since 8 months of age. Her examination revealed signs of severe anemia, failure to thrive, and secondary malnutrition. The discussion section provided an overview of thalassemia including pathogenesis, classification, management with regular blood transfusions and chelation therapy, as well as complications. It emphasized the importance of lifelong management, counseling, and screening to improve quality of life for patients with thalassemia major.Thalassaemia

This document discusses non-transfusion dependent thalassemia (NTDT), including HbE/β thalassemia. It classifies HbE/β thalassemia into severe, moderate, and mild based on hemoglobin levels and clinical symptoms. It also discusses transfusion therapy for NTDT, indicating when regular transfusions should start based on hemoglobin drop, organ enlargement, and other factors. The document further discusses chelation therapy for managing iron overload in NTDT, covering various chelating agents like deferoxamine, deferiprone, and deferasirox.

This document summarizes several hematological disorders including anemia, sickle cell anemia, and thalassemia. It discusses the origins and functions of blood, classifications of anemia, causes and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, and treatments including oral iron therapy and blood transfusions. For sickle cell anemia, it covers alleles, pathophysiology, clinical features like vaso-occlusive crises, and treatments including pain management, oxygenation, and antibiotics. For thalassemia, it discusses decreased synthesis of hemoglobin chains, classifications, clinical features such as prominent facial bones and enlarged organs, diagnosis, and treatments including blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy.Thallasemia

This document summarizes the treatment of thalassemia. The conventional treatment is blood transfusion therapy to manage anemia. Alternative treatments include gene therapy and increasing fetal hemoglobin levels. Patients receive regular blood transfusions to maintain their hemoglobin levels. Long-term iron overload from transfusions requires chelation therapy using drugs like deferoxamine. Other treatments discussed include splenectomy and stem cell transplantation. The document provides guidelines on all aspects of thalassemia management.More Related Content
