Sickle cell anemia Diagnosis - Causes Signs Symptoms Pictures of Sickle cell disease. It is A group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down.With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells contort into a sickle shape. The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anaemia) and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis). Infections, pain and fatigue are symptoms of sickle cell disease. Treatments include medication, blood transfusions and rarely a bone-marrow transplant.

A human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) urine test is a pregnancy test. A pregnant woman's placenta produces hCG, also called the pregnancy hormone. If you're pregnant, the test can usually detect this hormone in your urine about 10 days after your first missed period. It is often referred to as a home pregnancy test. For more health and wellness articles, visit Treatment and Cure , a trusted resource for medical information. What is hCG and Why Does it Matter? Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by the trophoblast cells that form the placenta after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Levels of hCG begin to rise rapidly after conception, doubling approximately every 48 to 72 hours in early pregnancy. This rapid rise makes hCG an excellent early marker for confirming pregnancy. Understanding hCG is also a hot topic in community wellness discussions. You can join conversations about reproductive health and diagnostics at Healthy Living Ideas on Reddit ....

What Causes Depression? Depressive disorder Definition Signs Symptoms and Treatment of major depressive disorder. Possible causes of depression include a combination of biological, psychological and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggests that these factors may cause changes in brain function, including altered activity of certain neural circuits in the brain. The persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest that characterises major depression can lead to a range of behavioural and physical symptoms. These may include changes in sleep, appetite, energy level, concentration, daily behaviour or self-esteem. Depression can also be associated with thoughts of suicide. The mainstay of treatment is usually medication, talk therapy or a combination of the two. Increasingly, research suggests that these treatments may normalise brain changes associated with depression.
