Haematology?
Answers:
Your spelling of Haematology is the correct British Spelling.
Professor Alan Burnett has this to say on Haematology:-
Haematology is the study of blood formation and the diseases which occur when the process goes wrong. This not only involves the production of blood cells but also the proteins involved in blood coagulation. Diseases of many systems will affect blood production and coagulation so an understanding of Haematology is an important link with other specialities.
Anaemias are very common world wide and in the general population in the UK, for which there are many causes. Sophisticated instruments are now available to measure various characteristics of blood cells. The appropriate use of blood components provided by the Transfusion service, including the potential hazards, needs to be known by all doctors. The availability of blood components has underpinned the development of sophisticated surgery and care of cancer patients.
Much has been learned in recent years about how blood cells are made by the body, usually in the bone marrow. Complex techniques of cell biology, immunology and molecular biology are used to study this in the laboratory. A major interest of the Department is to understand which genes regulate the process of how blood cells develop or differentiate. This is important in order to work out why the process goes wrong. Billions of cells are produced each day so it is, perhaps, not surprising that it should go wrong from time to time. The consequence of this can be a cancer of the blood forming tissues such as leukaemia and lymphoma.
Many advances have been made in the treatment of these diseases which comprise about 15% of all cancers and are becoming more common in the population as the proportion of older people increases. The classification and treatment of these diseases uniquely integrates the laboratory and clinical aspects of Haematology.
Some haematological diseases are inherited such as abnormal haemoglobin (haemoglobinopathies), blood coagulation (haemophilia or Christmas disease), over absorption of iron (haemochromatosis), where the gene causing the disease is known. In theory these diseases, and perhaps some of the haematological cancers where the disease associated gene is also known, could be corrected by replacing the faulty gene. This so called "gene therapy" has proved to be more difficult than first thought, but the ancestral cell responsible for the production of all blood cells - the haemopoietic stem cell - is a prime target for this approach.
Haematology offers a wide spectrum of interest and inter-reaction in medicine and offers the unique opportunity to combine laboratory and clinical science in a rapidly changing scene.
The above text cut and pasted from:-
i think you are trying to say hematology.
If so this is the study of disorders of the blood..
what is really your question?
is this the word of the day?
The first person is right
Hem (or haema) , hema (or haema) -- blood.
-ology -- study.
hematology (in USA) or haematology (in UK) in short is the medical specialty that pertains to the anatomy, physiology, pathology, symptomatology, and therapeutics related to the blood and blood-forming tissues.
Yes- blood issues whats your question dear?
