Hemophilia 3

Hemophilia

 

 

     Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the ability for blood to clot in an individual. A genetic disorder is a condition where an individual has one or more defective genes. In hemophilia, the defective gene is the gene that makes clotting factors, which are factors that allows the blood to clot. This disorder is extremely dangerous because any trauma or impact on the individual could lead to serious internal or external bleeding. There are two types of this disorder: Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B, which can only be distinguished through blood tests. Hemophilia is a sex-linked disorder, therefore males are prodominately affected. [1]

I didn't know that you could "acquire" hemophilia even if you weren't born with it. That is interesing.

People with this disease must have to be extremely careful all the time. I'm sure it's always something they they have to worry about. It's really crazy that a bruise or a cut can become something so severe.

It's interesting that any small trauma can cause severe internal and external bleeding. The picture helped with understanding how the bleeding works.

I like the chart on your front page. The categorization make it easier to find the info. Also, I like the bone picture in the Lasting Effects section because it's real not digital. The pedigree is in Genetics is helpful as well. I can better visualize hemophilia's inheritance.

It was very organised. the video isnt working tho. i didnt kno u could aquire hemophilia...weird

i like how this page is very organized with the chart of your different links. the pictures also give me a better visual of clotting.

I like the setup on the front page. The first paragraph gives a good description on the disease. The picture is very good on showing you some of the functions of this disease and the chart is very easy to navigate.

You're diagram made it really easy to see how it affects the actual blood vessels since i didn't really know how blood clots. Also it's really scary to think that you can aquire this disorder since you have t obe so careful when you have, like you wouldn't be able to do alot of stuff you normally do

Very well done. I liked the chart on the front page, it made it easy to navigate throughout the project. Good detail and depth

Thanks! That diagram was an excellent learning tool. That definitely illistrated the differences between people who dispay the genetic disease and those who don't.

The chart made the entire wiki easy to navigate. There is a picture, though, on your 'living with hemophilia' page that i found when typing in XYY Supermale Syndrome into a picture resource. Be cautious when finding pictures, make sure you know what they are. (Even though that one in particular probably is hemophilia...) Otherwise, your page is organized and gives a visual for the clotting of blood-which helps people who dont know how blood really clots.

I like the chart on the Hemophilia A page, its scary how much less of a clotting factor people with the disease have compared to someone without the disease.

I liked the pictures on the Signs & Symptoms page. They really showed (in detail) the effects of this disorder.

It's scary that you could have hemophilia and not even know it. The chart really helped to explain how the disease works but i think you could have gone more in depth too.

I didn't know that you could "acquire" hemophilia even if you weren't born with it. That is interesing. I also didn't know that Queen Victoria had this and passed it on to her children. I liked how you used her as an example.

Im not sure that all of your information is realvent to the disorder.... esoecially the pictures. try including a caption because i dont understand the importance of the random pictures. another example of the unnecessary information is on your treatments page (Xyntha), it doesnt appear to be realvent

Tyler Lasky said

Very interesting. I was not aware of the two types Hemophilia A and B. Also I found it interesting that joint deformity and swelling is a symptom... Normallly I would associate hemophilia with excessive bleeding. Good Job.

Sara Adams said

i thought it was very interesting that doctors can actually prevent a baby from getting the disorder through genetic engineering. i thought that there was no method of prevention, thats good news.

Nathan Jeffers said

I did not know a peson could acquire hemophilia, thats interesting. It is very unpleasant to hear that the only true way to prevent hemophilia is by gentically engineering zygote in a lab. =/

Derrick Roach said

Your history section is so ironic. what are the chances of rasputin and descendant of queen victoria having a son with hemophilia? i like how you connected the 2 stories of rasputin and queen victoria.

Amanda Jones said

Hemophilia seems to me to be a horrible and deadly disease. I mean like- if you get a cut or scrape what would you do? And to think...you can acquire hemophilia? To think...your body can attack you in such a way that your blood doesn't clot. It's almost unimaginable. The History section helped me know how common this disease is and how it is passed down.

I think it's a really scary genetic disease because if you don"t know that you have it you can in the worst case bleed to death and only because you cut yourself. If they had a bleeding in a joint they have pain when they move. That must be a hard life to watch everything you do.

Zachary McCormack said

Nice work. Very detailed. I wasn't aware that so much of the lasting effects delt with joints. The cell membrane breakdown and swelling of joints never crossed my mind.

James Berns said

I like the preventaion page. I did not know that people could prevent their child from getting this disese by genetically engenering the zygotes.

Emily Ryan said

at 10:45 am on Nov 5, 2009

I didn't know that there was more than one type of hemophilia before. I feel realy bad for the children who have this disease because on top of the fact that they have to always watch what they do physically they also have to get those Prophylaxis shots 5 times a week! that must be scary for a little kid

It would be depressing if when you where little and wanted to be a pro footballplayer but found out you couldn't because you have Hemophilia.
