Types Of Blood DiseasesThere are many different blood diseases that are diagnosed and treated by hematologists. Some of these are benign (non-cancerous) and others are types of blood cancer. They can involve one or more of the three main types of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). They can also involve blood proteins involved in clotting. Not every blood disorder requires treatment. This is a list of some of the more common blood disorders treated by community hematologists. Red Blood Cell Disorders – Deficiencies or abnormalities in the red blood cells. Anemia – A deficiency in the number of red blood cells often causing weakness and pallor. There are many potential causes of anemia. Aplastic Anemia – A type of anemia occurring when the bone marrow fails to produce enough of all three types of blood cells: red cells, white cells, and platelets. The Aplastic Anemia & MDS International Foundation, Inc. is a good resource to learn more about this disorder.. Sickle Cell Anemia – an inherited blood disorder where blood cells are sickle (or “C”) shaped and block blood flow. Clumps of sickle cells block blood flow to the limbs and organs, and can cause pain, serious infection, and organ damage. The American Sickle Cell Anemia Association, a nonprofit organization providing a wide range of services to those individuals and families with either sickle cell anemia, sickle cell trait, or variants of the disease. Thalassemia – A hereditary blood disorder affecting hemoglobin, the molecule that carries oxygen. At About Thalassemia (part of Cooley’s Anemia Foundation) patients can find general information about the different types of Thalassemia. White Blood Cell Disorders – (abnormalities in the production of white blood cells) Myelofibrosis – A chronic disease manifested by fibrous material in the bone marrow, anemia and an enlarged spleen. Also known as agnogenic myeloid metaplasia. Myeloma – a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white bloods cell. Find more information at the International Myeloma Foundation. Myelodysplasia – A group of disorders where bone marrow does not function properly and does not produce enough normal blood cells. The Myelodysplastic (MDS) Syndromes Foundation is devoted to the prevention, treatment, and study of the myelodysplastic syndromes. Leukemia – A group of diseases where white blood cells grow uncontrollably. These diseases are classified according to how quickly the disease grows and the type of cells affected. Lymphoma – A tumor that arises in the lymph nodes or in other lymphoid tissue. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society offers additional information about leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood disorders. Platelet Disorders – (usually a deficiency in platelets leading to easy bruising and excessive bleeding) Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) – A clinical syndrome where a decreased number of platelets causes bleeding, and easy bruising. ITP Science includes information about diagnosing ITP, treatment goals, as well as helpful information for patients recently diagnosed with the disorder. Essential Thrombocytosis – A disorder in which platelets are overproduced, which can lead to both blood clotting and bleeding. Clotting Disorders – Problems affecting the ability to clot blood, leading to excessive bleeding or excessive clotting. The Coagulation Factors site features articles and news on coagulation disorders, and also includes a health directory and information on clinical trials for coagulation disorder patients. Hemophilia – A bleeding disorder caused by a problem in one of the factors of blood clotting. Von Willebrand Disease – A hereditary disease where there is a deficiency of the von Willebrand factor, which is a factor that affects platelet function. This often leads to excessive bleeding. Hypercoagulable states – These are inherited or acquired abnormalities that increase a person’s risk of developing a blood clot. Examples include Factor V Leiden mutations, Protein C deficiency, and Lupus anticoagulant. Hemochromatosis – A disorder where patients absorb extra amounts of iron from their daily diet and over time. The excess iron can build up in organs such as the heart, liver, and pancreas. If left untreated, diabetes, heart disease and liver failure can result. |

Is there a difference between human body functional capacity evaluation and fitness for duty? Yes. What is the difference between human body functional capacity evaluation and fitness for duty? Functional capacity evaluation measures 11 human organ system functions relevant to age. Fitness for duty measures general abilities and professional abilities relevant to a profession. Functional Capacity Evaluation measures 11 human organ system functions relevant to age. Here are further guidelines. Body Systems Quiz http://www.qureshiuniversity.org/Quizhumanbodtsystems.html What are skills? A skill is the learned ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of time, energy, or both. In other words the abilities that one possesses. Skills can often be divided into domain-general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management, teamwork and leadership, self motivation and others, whereas domain-specific skills would be useful only for a certain job. Is there a difference between human organ system functions and abilities? Yes. What is the difference between human organ system functions and abilities? Human pulse, blood pressure, temperature, consciousness, and respiratory rate are signs of human organ system functions. These signs exist from birth onwards. These are signs of human organ system functions; they are not abilities. Abilities are learned gradually after birth. This example will make you understand. English language reading abilities. English language speaking abilities. English language understanding abilities. English language writing abilities. If an individual does not have English language reading, speaking, understanding, and writing abilities, that does not mean there is impairment of human organ system functions. These are all learned abilities. If an individual is educated properly, he or she will learn these abilities. What are the vital signs of human organ systems functions? Consciousness Pulse Blood pressure Respiratory rate Temperature Pain In some regions, consciousness and pain are not considered vital signs. What are the differences between abilities of a newborn and abilities of an 18-year-old human? A newborn does not have any learned abilities. A newborn has five findings: Breathing effort, Heart rate, Muscle tone, Response to smell or foot slap, Skin color. A doctor of medicine calls this Apgar scoring. Apgar scoring determines the health of a newborn. These findings are due to human organ systems’ functions. Sucking reflex, defecation, urination, and crawling are monitored later. A human learns more than 600 abilities from birth up to 18 years. What should you know about human organ systems’ functions? Human organ systems functions exist from birth. How is a human body organized? Cells are the basic unit of life. Tissues are clusters of cells that perform a similar function. Organs are made of tissues that perform one specific function. Organ systems are groups of organs that perform a specific purpose in the human body. The purpose of the 11 organ systems is for the human body to maintain homeostasis. Organs and Functions What are the human organs and their function? Adrenal glands - Fight or flight emergency explosive action and mental clarity. Appendix - No longer in direct use, theorized to help Immune system. Bladder - Temporally collects liquids from food waste. Brain - A neural network of interdependent systems to send signals to muscles. Epidermis - protect against pathogens, oxidant stress (UV light) and chemicals. Esophagus - Muscular tube through which food travels to the stomach. Eyes - Conversion of photons into a data stream for the optic nerve. Gall bladder - Fat conversion/digestion with high powered chemicals. Heart - Pump to move blood around the body. Kidney - Regulate acidity, blood pressure, salt/water balance, signal hormones. Large intestine - Absorb water and last remaining nutrients from waste. Liver - Filter out the blood of impurities and toxins. Lungs - Absorption of Oxygen and release of Carbon Dioxide. Mouth - Temporary storage area for food while it is evaluated and crushed. Ovaries - In Females, secrete estrogen, progesterone and create ovums. Pancreas - Break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in food. Parathyroid - Control the amount of calcium in the blood and within the bones. Pleura - Lubricant and structure to convert muscle movements to inhale/exhale. Prostate gland - In Males, Assist in the preparation of semen. Rectum - About 12cm of temporary storage site for feces.
