  2. Global catastrophe scenarios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_catastrophe_scenarios

    Biotechnology can pose a global catastrophic risk in the form of bioengineered organisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, or animals). In many cases the organism will be a pathogen of humans, livestock, crops, or other organisms we depend upon (e.g. pollinators or gut bacteria).

    Q: What causes anemia, and is a blood transfusion the only treatment?. A: Red blood cells are a critical component of our blood.They are "loaded" with oxygen in the lungs, and then along with the ...

  4. Anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemia

    Anemia or anaemia (British English) is a blood disorder in which the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen. This can be due to a lower than normal number of red blood cells, a reduction in the amount of hemoglobin available for oxygen transport, or abnormalities in hemoglobin that impair its function. [3] [4]

  5. Hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolytic_anemia

    Hemolytic anemia affects nonhuman species as well as humans. It has been found, in a number of animal species, to result from specific triggers. [51] Some notable cases include hemolytic anemia found in black rhinos kept in captivity, with the disease, in one instance, affecting 20% of captive rhinos at a specific facility.

  6. Pernicious anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pernicious_anemia

    Pernicious anemia often presents slowly, and can cause harm insidiously and unnoticeably. Untreated, it can lead to neurological complications, and in serious cases, death. [19] The onset may be vague and slow and the condition can be confused with other conditions, and there may be few to many symptoms without anemia. [20]

  7. Iron-deficiency anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron-deficiency_anemia

    Iron-deficiency anemia is anemia caused by a lack of iron. [3] Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. [3] When onset is slow, symptoms are often vague such as feeling tired, weak, short of breath, or having decreased ability to exercise. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_trypanosomiasis

    Some drugs can prevent trypanosomiasis, and are called prophylactic drugs. These are very effective in protecting animals during the times they are exposed to diseases. Historically, these drugs were not used properly, leading to some resistance. [7] [8] Waterbuck, among other animals, produces chemical odours that repel tsetse flies. This has ...

  9. Human genetic resistance to malaria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_resistance...

    One example is red blood cells, which in a state of pyruvate kinase deficiency rapidly become deficient in ATP and can undergo hemolysis. Therefore, pyruvate kinase deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia. [citation needed] There is a significant correlation between severity of PK deficiency and extent of protection against malaria. [45]
