Title: Disease fact sheet 3
Description: Overview Each year the hospital where you work, Stronger Memorial hosts a Wellness Fair for its employees. The Fair is well attended; people are encouraged to use their breaks and lunch time to tour the booths and learn about issues of personal and professional importance. This year, you are on the Wellness Fair organizing committee and will be working with colleagues from around the hospital to develop educational materials for various booths. To get started on these materials, it is important to first have a solid understanding of medical terminology and anatomy and physiology of body systems. Directions The final item you will be creating for the Wellness Fair is a collection of three informational “Fact Sheets” that educate hospital employees about common diseases. After the Wellness Fair, these fact sheets will serve as quick-reference educational materials for patients. Choose three diseases from the "Essential Elements of a Disease Fact Sheet" document in the Resources section. After learning about each disease, create a four-page disease fact sheet that, in your own words, provides a comprehensive overview of the disease, causes and progression, and treatment options. Consult the document "Essential Elements of a Disease Fact Sheet" for more information. See the diabetes fact sheet from the CDC for an example of how to effectively use a mix of text and visuals. You need to carefully determine which material should be included while creating clear and concise four-page fact sheets.

Sickle Cell Anemia
A Type of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)
Meaning of Sickle Cell Anemia? (CDC, 2020)
SCD is a collection of genetic disorder in which there are not
adequate fine red blood cells to transport sufficient oxygen around
the body
...
They may travel within the blood
vessels effortlessly
...
When
they unable to find their oxygen, they make the shape of a
sickle or C shape
...
•
This may obstruct minor blood vessels and the drive of well,
normal oxygen-transporting blood
...
•
Ordinary red blood cells may exist equal to 120 days
...
Additionally, sickle cells can be wiped out by the spleen as
of their shape and firmness
...
This places you in greater risk for infections
...
d) Sickle cell anemia
(SCA) is also known as Hemoglobin S, Sickle
Hemoglobin or HbSS
...
People
with the disease are born with two sickle cell
genes, one from each parent if you are born
with a sickle cell gene it is called sickle cell
trait
...
If one parent passes the sickle cell gene to
the child, that child would have the sickle cell
trait
...

About 1 in 13 African American babies is
given birth with sickle cell trait, about 1 in
every 365 black children is born with sickle
cell disease

Prevention (Mayo Clinic, 2021)
Engaging tag along strides to remain healthy might assist you stop
difficulties of sickle cell anemia
...
Bone marrow requires folic acid
and other vitamins to produce fresh red blood cells
...
Physical
activities, not smoking consuming a lot of water

Symptoms and problems might comprise the following below:
...
Its development may differ
from slightly symptomatic – anemia,
jaundice to sore continuing predicament and

The irregular cells may obstruct
the pennis

Organ System Damage (Cedars Sinai,
2021)
Jaundice is a usual sign and symptom of sickle disease
...
The liver,
cells do not live as far as normal red blood cells and, as a result,
heart, kidneys, gallbladder, eyes, bones,
they are disappearing quicker than the liver would sieve them out
...
They
Bilirubin (that initiates the yellow colour) from these divided cells
endure harm from the unusual operation of

•
Routine eye exams

Experimental Treatment (NHLBI, 2019)
The experimental treatment implicates eliminating hematopoietic
stem cells from the patients’ bone marrow or blood and adding on a
therapeutic beta globin gene, that is unreliable in individuals with
sickle cell disease
...
Founded on earliest discoveries, that come about presented at
the most recently meeting of the American Society of Hematology,
academics consider the latest gene substitute therapy will allow the
patients’ bone marrow to make normal red blood cells regulary
...
Kids who acquire
single unusual gene and single ordinary
gene normally do not in any ways
symptoms and as the saying goes to
hold sickle cell trait

Ethinic Background
Most individuals with sickle cell disease
are of sub-Saharan African descent
