INCREASED MICROERYTHROCYTE COUNT IN HOMOZYGOUS ALPHA(+)-THALASSAEMIA CONTRIBUTES TO PROTECTION AGAINST SEVERE MALARIAL ANAEMIA.

Increased microerythrocyte count in homozygous alpha(+)-thalassaemia contributes to protection against severe malarial anaemia.

The heritable haemoglobinopathy alpha(+)-thalassaemia is caused by the reduced synthesis of alpha-globin chains that form part of normal adult haemoglobin (Hb).Individuals homozygous for alpha(+)-thalassaemia have microcytosis and an increased erythrocyte count.Alpha(+)-thalassaemia homozygosity confers considerable protection against severe malari

Endocervicosis: A Rare Lesion of the Cervix

Endocervicosis is one of the benign Swim Shorts mullerian lesions of the cervix, characterized by the extension of the glands lined with endocervical type epithelium with cystic dilated appearance from the cervical wall to the paracervical connective tissue.Endocervicosis often occurs in the bladder.There are case reports in the axillary lymph node

An Assessment of Satellite Radiance Data Assimilation in RMAPS

Due to the availability of observations and the effectiveness of bias correction, it is still a challenge to assimilate data from the polar orbit satellites into a limited-area and frequently updated model.This study assessed the initial application of satellite radiance data from multiple platforms in the Rapid-refresh Multi-scale Analysis and Pre
