The causes of aplastic anaemia may be inherited or acquired. The causes and the diagnostic approach, along with spectrum of severity of this disorder is discussed in this presentation. A detailed discussion of the management options, along with pharmacological therapy and supportive therapy in these cases is also discussed. The treatment options include, in addition to a stem cell transplant, anti-thymocyte globulin, cyclosporine, methyprednisolone and eltrombopag (for patients who have failed treatment on combined modality therapy with ATG and cyclosporine) https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/deep-vein-thrombosis-treatment_7bf79084d5550b0461b6.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/deep-vein-thrombosis-treatment_7bf79084d5550b0461b6.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/having-a-blood-transfusion_5248ac197f1086bedfa6.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/having-a-blood-transfusion_5248ac197f1086bedfa6.html One of a series of films we produced to help patients, their families and carers learn more about some of the most common tests and procedures used to diagnose and treat blood diseases. Patients who have previously undergone these tests helped us to design the videos. Each film clearly explains what the procedure involves and addresses common issues and concerns including: Why your doctor recommended this procedure What you need to do to prepare What you can expect during the procedure What you need to do afterwards Not every patient will be referred for all of these tests and practice may differ slightly depending on where you are treated. https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/how-do-blood-transfusions-work_1179830bbe49c5e76736.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/how-do-blood-transfusions-work_1179830bbe49c5e76736.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/what-does-bone-marrow-actually-do_1ea8a0e4bd27dca3326a.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/what-does-bone-marrow-actually-do_1ea8a0e4bd27dca3326a.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/anatomy-and-physiology-of-blood_de81fc734bc5689ab6f0.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/anatomy-and-physiology-of-blood_de81fc734bc5689ab6f0.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/why-do-we-have-blood_37f0fd0d46fa5c6466ee.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/why-do-we-have-blood_37f0fd0d46fa5c6466ee.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/what-is-blood_fc55ba413313a42bb4cf.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/what-is-blood_fc55ba413313a42bb4cf.html Extremely funny, and very in-depth look at all the parts and pieces of your blood. https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/symptoms-of-spleen-dysfunction_471416a45a34246e4403.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/symptoms-of-spleen-dysfunction_471416a45a34246e4403.html The spleen is one of the most overlooked organs.

This fluid is then carried to the lymph nodes, which filter waste products and contain infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. The excess fluid in the lymph vessels is eventually returned to the bloodstream. When the lymph vessels are blocked or unable to carry lymph fluid away from the tissues, localized swelling (lymphedema) is the result. https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/the-flexitouch-system-lymphedema-pump_39f66e8b7e121f785d64.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/the-flexitouch-system-lymphedema-pump_39f66e8b7e121f785d64.html Treating Lymphedema - https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/elephantiasis-filariasis-lymphedema-treatment_7087c95fd0a17f986210.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/elephantiasis-filariasis-lymphedema-treatment_7087c95fd0a17f986210.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/medial-thigh-panniculectomy-for-lymphedema_738d28a2d25004b7ecab.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/medial-thigh-panniculectomy-for-lymphedema_738d28a2d25004b7ecab.html https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/lymphedema-explained_0e7a46d37c8070285c9e.html Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:32:08 +0000 https://www.medicalvideos.com/watch/lymphedema-explained_0e7a46d37c8070285c9e.html The lymphatic system is a network of specialized vessels (lymph vessels) throughout the body whose purpose is to collect excess lymph fluid with proteins, lipids, and waste products from the tissues.

Lymphedema is most commonly caused by lymph node removal or damage due to cancer treatment. The main symptom is swelling in an arm or leg that may be accompanied by pain or discomfort.

In most cases, a leg blood clot will form due to lengthy periods of travel, for example if you remain immobile in cramped spaces—such as an airplane or bus—with few opportunities to stretch your legs or get up and walk around. Here are ten signs that you may have a dangerous blood clot in your leg
