MMSC 433 Exam 2 with accurate detailed solutions ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




hemoglobinopathy - correct answer✔✔genetic mutation in the genes that affect hemoglobin ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




synthesis, leading to a diseased hemoglobin molecule ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




qualitative hemoglobinopathy - correct answer✔✔gene mutation leads to altered amino acid ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




sequence in the hemoglobin molecule, affecting the structure and function of the
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




hemoglobin

-amino acids with different charges and biochemical characteristics leads to dysfunctional and

unstable hemolgobin
||//\\|| ||//\\||




-e.g. sickle cell disease, hemoglobin C disease, etc.
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




and cannot return to their normal RBC shape, even after proper oxygenation is restored
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-leads to poor oxygenation and excessive removal of RBCs by macrophages
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




vasoocclusive crisis (VOC/ painful crisis) (SCD) - correct answer✔✔*hallmark of SCD* ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||

||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




scarring



hand foot syndrome (dactylitis) (SCD) - correct answer✔✔*earliest manifestation of SCD,
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




seen in children* ||//\\|| ||//\\||




-sickling of RBCs blocks blood vessels, leading to tissue infarct in the metacarpals, metatarsals
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




and phalanges
||//\\|| ||//\\||

||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




sickle cell disease treatments - correct answer✔✔-RBC transfusion: increases Hct and % Hgb
||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\|| ||//\\||




A

-analgesics
