SEC S20W2 || Hemoglobin - Module 2

Greetings friends, I feel like a lab scientist participating in this contest, I am glad that knowledge have been obtained

For anybody to commit suicide, I believe there is an antecedent. I did a series of research, and I concluded that depression was one cause of Rafael's death. Why do I say so? Rafael was a parasitologist contributing to the welfare and better health of his community and country at large, but he contracted a disease, which was malaria. Maybe during his research, the vector might have flown out of his research container to attack him after 10–15 years leading his research on the concept of malaria, which led to his death.

Capillary tube with blood

Quinine was discovered in 1802, but why didn't he take it to help himself? I came to understand that quinine helped at the early stage and helped so much in reducing mortality rate, and Rafael might have discovered his contraction very late; he made several contributions to malaria, his killers, and I feel his death can be attributed to his dedication to finding a solution to a health problem caused by parasites with malaria, inclusive. Research has it that he ingested potassium cyanide, and he died in minutes, so I conclude that he took a high dose of 100 to over 500 mg/m2.

Haemoglobin

The colour red is given to the blood through the protein haemoglobin; it is an important blood constituent that can also contribute to the detection of diseases and blood disorders. No matter the blood colour changes from maroon to light red, it should be understood that the level of oxygen contributes to various changes, so we still have haemoglobin in the blood.

Now let's go into the definition proper. Haemoglobin is an important protein in the blood, and as a protein it possesses a characteristic of which is having in residence a complex biomolecule of one or more polypeptide chains linked with amino acids. It could also be defined as that constituent of the blood that helps in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to other tissues. That is why changes in the blood colour could be seen in different regions of the body, as I said earlier.

In the automated system, it makes use of the technology "electrical impedance." Red blood cells are directly related to the electrical changes measures because as it passes through the detection chamber, the electrical field gets disrupted, leading to a change in impedance, and this change is proportional to the number of RBCs; in other words, the impedance is converted to a hemacrit value in percentage (I think I have seen how physics is related to biology).

The method used in the determination of hemocrit is generally known as microhemocrit centrifugation, and it requires very functional instruments, which include a centrifuge, a capillary tube, and a pipette.

Collect a blood sample and put it in the hemocrit capillary tube. Fill it to about 2/3 of its original length with blood, add heparin, which will prevent it from clotting, then seal it with a cap or plasticine, and then insert it in the centrifuge. The centrifuge will then spin it at a rate of 10,000 rpm so that it separates each omponent. Remember, the tube should be a hemocrit capillary tube. With this, you can measure the length of red blood cells and calculate the hemocrit.

Some weeks ago in the medical laboratory

@alli001 is a fitness trainee, and he experienced fatigue; the lab result after conducting an automatic Haematocrit test shows that Haematocrit is high; it could be assumed from interpretation that @alli001's Haematocrit level indicates dehydration, which eventually leads to blood thickening. He is then given enough glasses of water to drink, and hemocrit after a retest returns to 45%, indicating a normal hemocrit level. In this case, we can see that it aids in diagnosing dehydration.
