Today I learned something that i never heard before, but somehow in just a span of a week, i heard about this twice! When i heard it the first time, i went to check out the spelling and took a quick read about it. But when i heard of it the second time, suddenly it made me very interested to find out more. So here is it,
What Are Thalassemias?
Thalassemias (thal-a-SE-me-ahs) are inherited blood disorders. "Inherited" means they're passed on from parents to children through genes. Thalassemias cause the body to make fewer healthy red blood cells and less hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) than normal. Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein in red blood cells. It carries oxygen to all parts of the body. It also carries carbon dioxide (a waste gas) from the body to the lungs, where it's exhaled. People who have thalassemias can have mild or severe anemia (uh-NEE-me-uh). This condition is caused by a lower than normal number of red blood cells or not enough hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
Just a short brief of what i wanna share today.
So far yet another week has gone by just like that, clock ticking down. Suddenly it reminded me of myself during Internship when i was so happy counting down to the end of it! But this time, the feeling feels kinda different.
As the days pass, the seed in the my hearts grows day by day, the mind misses bit by bit.
