The human body consists of various blood groups with one important one being the ABO blood group, which aids in blood transfusions. The ABO blood group was discovered during the years of 1900 and 1901 at the University of Vienna by Karl Landsteiner when he...

Time medicine has (finally) the wind in its sails. Driven by the recognition of the Nobel Prize 2,017 (for the discovery of the biological mechanisms of the circadian clock), tools are being developed at high speed to move towards a personalized chronomedicine. A Chicago team...

Haematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. It involves treating diseases that affect the production of blood and its components, such as blood cells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, bone marrow, platelets,...

This is to certify that the NTCC entitled “DETERMINATION OF HEIGHT FROM THE ANGLE OF PROJECTION OF BLOODSTAINS” is submitted as project by Ms. NAVODITA TYAGI B.Sc.(H) FORENSIC SCIENCES during her period of study in Amity University of Forensic Sciences ,AMITY UNIVERSITY,UTTAR PRADESH under my...

Severe hemorrhage can occur during the delivery of patients with morbidly adherent placenta (MAP), and techniques such as adjuvant intraoperative hypogastric artery ligation at the time of cesarean-hysterectomy (C-hyst) have been implemented with the goal of decreasing intraoperative blood loss. However, little research has been...

Altered expression of glycans on the cell surface can act as markers of various diseases including cancer and AIDS. Identification of these altered glycans can be easily achieved by using glycan binding proteins, specifically antibodies and lectins. Therefore, it is always important to identify and...

Inside a tumor, cells are constantly growing, multiplying and dying. When cancer cells die, they leave behind clues that are transforming scientists understanding of the disease. Dying cancer cells breakup into microscopic bubbles which can contain all sorts of molecules including chunks of the cells’...

The respiratory and circulatory systems work together to deliver oxygen to cells of the body (the lungs through air exchange, and the circulatory system by delivery of haemoglobin containing red cells to the capillaries where oxygen is released into the tissues) and removal of carbon...

The white blood cells are the primary large blood cell and may lead to protruding one a part of their body and dragging the remainder of them self. They’re the “soldiers” of the blood, attacking bacteria and different invaders unknown to the body. When your...

It is illegal for athletes to take steroids or any other type of drugs, so they are relying on blood doping. Right before an event, an athlete will blood dope. By doing that they take a substance to enhance the red blood blood cell count....

Exisiting System Unlike finger pricking, the traditional method of monitoring levels of the blood sugar glucose, the new patch detects the levels of glucose in a person’s sweat. Research has shown that glucose level in sweat accurately reflect glucose levels in the blood. The researchers...

Hemoglobin levels in individuals with chronic kidney disease fluctuate frequently above or below the recommended target levels within short periods of time even though the calculated mean hemoglobin remains within the target range of 11 to 12 g/dl. Anemia is a common complication of chronic...

Genetic disorders are (usually) rare disease not caused by viruses or other pathogens, but rather from human genetics itself. These disorders are sometimes inherited, like cystic fibrosis, and other times caused by mutations, like Down’s syndrome. Sickle cell is a (inherited) genetic disorder and causes...

There are 4 major types of blood A, B, AB, and O. What blood you have depends on what antigen is on red cells and what antibody in the plasma; more on that later. Blood type is hereditary and which one you have, depends on...

Although the heart plays one of the biggest roles in the circulatory system, the rest of the system is also very important as it is what transports blood to and from the heart to keep the body alive. Blood is transported throughout the body by...

It’s made of two separate circuits and the blood passes through the heart twice. The pulmonary circuit carries blood to the lungs where carbon dioxide is removed from the blood, and oxygen is taken up by the haemoglobin in the red blood cells and then...

Anaemia or anemia is a condition in which, oxygen of blood is reduced due to low hematocrit or low blood hemoglobin concentrations. Usually, blood has lower than normal number of red blood cells. Anemia appear when there are not enough red cells in the body,...

In the ABO blood group system, the red blood cells in humans have molecular differences from individual to individual. The differences are systematic and can be characterized according to a system of four different hereditary types; A, B, AB and O. These types together form...
