sgtponzihater1: I hope so too. Thalasemias, strictly speaking are not hemoglobinopathies, though some thalassemias can be, since hemoglobinopathies is really alteration in structure, while the other deal with production. There however is no need to query anyone's qualification, if u feel u know better simply explain professionally. At least you speak more professionally jare..... I believe we are saying the same thing, truly not all thalassemias are hemoglobinopathies but those types are very rare and incompatible with life..... We all know that.... Let's talk about common stuff... Once again, thanks for your mature approach |

sgtponzihater1: My guy don't say that. U should go to his school and contend his degree, we can't know it all. Among the top 3 causes of death in a research done at John-Hopkins last year was found to be doctors errors, those doctors also don't deserve medical degrees?
Meanwhile, A lady who has 2 previous children and is rhesus negative gave birth recently, a direct coombs test and blood group was done for the new baby and the child was rhesus negative, I was happy for the child, question is would the woman need rhogam?, bearing the fact that the blood group of the other children are not known?, and they are not present to take their blood group.
Lastly hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias are actually different. and are on different topic. Not all thalasemias are hemoglobinopathies. Do ur research. No one is saying they are the same, what I am saying (and pointing out clearly) is that some thalassemias are a type of hemoglobinopathy, simple.... I have given you all sources and references...

emoglobin is produced by genes that control the expression of the hemoglobin protein. Defects in these genes can produce abnormal hemoglobins and anemia, which are conditions termed "hemoglobinopathies". Abnormal hemoglobins appear in one of three basic circumstances: Structural defects in the hemoglobin molecule. Alterations in the gene for one of the two hemoglobin subunit chains, alpha (a) or beta (b), are called mutations. Often, mutations change a single amino acid building block in the subunit. Most commonly the change is innocuous, perturbing neither the structure nor function of the hemoglobin molecule. Occasionally, alteration of a single amino acid dramatically disturbs the behavior of the hemoglobin molecule and produces a disease state. Sickle hemoglobin exemplifies this phenomenon. Diminished production of one of the two subunits of the hemoglobin molecule. Mutations that produce this condition are termed "thalassemias." Equal numbers of hemoglobin alpha and beta chains are necessary for normal function. Hemoglobin chain imbalance damages and destroys red cells thereby producing anemia. Although there is a dearth of the affected hemoglobin subunit, with most thalassemias the few subunits synthesized are structurally normal. Abnormal associations of otherwise normal subunits. A single subunit of the alpha chain (from the a-globin locus) and a single subunit from the b-globin locus combine to produce a normal hemoglobin dimer. With severe a-thalassemia, the b-globin subunits begin to associate into groups of four (tetramers) due to the paucity of potential a-chain partners. These tetramers of b-globin subunits are functionally inactive and do not transport oxygen. No comparable tetramers of alpha globin subunits form with severe beta-thalassemia. Alpha subunits are rapidly degraded in the absence of a partner from the beta-globin gene cluster (gamma, delta, beta globin subunits).

The hemoglobinopathies encompass all genetic diseases of hemoglobin. They fall into two main groups: thalassemia syndromes and structural hemoglobin variants (abnormal hemoglobins). α- and β-thalassemia are the main types of thalassemia; the main structural hemoglobin variants are HbS, HbE and HbC. There are many subtypes and combined types in each group. The highly variable clinical manifestations of the hemoglobinopathies range from mild hypochromic anemia to moderate hematological disease to severe, lifelong, transfusion-dependent anemia with multiorgan involvement. Stem-cell transplantation is the preferred treatment for the severe forms of thalassemia. Supportive, rather than curative, treatment consists of periodic blood transfusions for life, combined with iron chelation. Drugs to treat the symptoms of sickle-cell disease include analgesics, antibiotics, ACE inhibitors and hydroxyurea. Blood transfusions should be given only when strictly indicated. More than 90% of patients currently survive into adulthood. Optimally treated patients have a projected life span of 50 to 60 years.

sgtponzihater1: Where exactly are u driving at, asking a medical professional all these questions, like u are his lecturer. If a medical professional doesn't know the difference between disease (SC, SThal etc), and Anaemia( ,SS), then medicine in Nigeria is bleak. I follow Nigerian doctors and it's time for a change. Medical jousting, slandering, and name calling is at its best in Nigeria. These have to stop. Someone that doesn't know that thalassemia is a form of hemoglobinopathy does not deserve the medical degree abeg..... |
