Leukemia- cancers in the blood forming tissues.
Hemophilia- genetic illness that causes dysfunction in one of the blood's clotting mechanisms.
Hemorrage- Internal bleeding (can be caused by several things)
HIV- The virus, which causes AIDS, one of its ways of transport is via blood cells.
Hepatitis B and C- Different viruses which bring disease of the liver causing liver inflamation which can later turn into cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Malaria- Transmitted by mosquito bites, the parasite causes fever, anemia, chills, flu-like illness, and in severe cases, coma and death.
Trypanosomiasis- "sleeping sickness" Inflamation of the lymph nodes, and if symptoms spread they include anemia, endocrine, cardiac, and kidney diseases and disorders. The symptoms of the second phase give confusion and reduced coordination, the sleep cycle is disturbed with bouts of fatigue punctuated with manic periods progressing to daytime slumber and nighttime insomnia.
Sickle cell- Disease refers to a chronic hemolytic anemia associated with sickle cell hemoglobin, either homozygous or in combination with thalassemia or with another abnormal hemoglobin (such as C or F).
Exsanguination- Total loss of blood by lack of coagulating factors, such as hemophilia.

7.00 HEMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS
A. Impairment caused by anemia should be evaluated according to the ability of the individual to adjust to the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. A gradual reduction in red cell mass, even to very low values, is often well tolerated in individuals with a healthy cardiovascular system.
B. Chronicity is indicated by persistence of the condition for at least 3 months. The laboratory findings cited must reflect the values reported on more than one examination over that 3-month period. Medically acceptable imaging includes, but is not limited to, x-ray imaging, computerized axial tomography (CAT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without contrast material, myelography, and radionuclear bone scans. "Appropriate" means that the technique used is the proper one to support the evaluation and diagnosis of the impairment.
C. Sickle cell disease refers to a chronic hemolytic anemia associated with sickle cell hemoglobin, either homozygous or in combination with thalassemia or with another abnormal hemoglobin (such as C or F).
Appropriate hematologic evidence for sickle cell disease, such as hemoglobin electrophoresis, must be included. Vaso-occlusive or aplastic episodes should be documented by description of severity, frequency, and duration.
Major visceral episodes include meningitis, osteomyelitis, pulmonary infections or infarctions, cerebrovascular accidents, congestive heart failure, genito-urinary involvement, etc.
D. Coagulation defects. Chronic inherited coagulation disorders must be documented by appropriate laboratory evidence. Prophylactic therapy such as with antihemophilic globulin (AHG) concentrate does not in itself imply severity.

There are rather a couple of nursing houses in Japan and they're fitting extra widespread as time is going through. My sister in regulation works at one of the most greater ones in Gifu. Most aged in Japan nonetheless are living with their households with help to be had for aged with specific stipulations or clinical stipulations. Many aged persons should not have loved ones or their loved ones for something rationale can`t shield them, in order that they grow to be in a nursing house.

the most common hematological disease is anemia. low blood count can be of decreased fromation (bone marrow or nutritional defect) or destruction of blood elements. platelet decreased or decrease of coagulation factors in blood could lead to vomitting of blood, yet most causes of vomitting blood are due to local causes in the GI tract.
