Pigmentation01:19

Pigmentation

4.8K
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

Blood Transfusion

Blood transfusion is a critical medical procedure that saves lives and treats various medical conditions. It involves transferring blood from a donor to a recipient. This process requires a thorough understanding of the ABO blood group system and its associated antigens and antibodies.
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...

Blood Types

23.9K
Human blood is classified into different types based on the presence of antigens on the red blood cell's surface and antibodies in the plasma. Proper identification of blood type is essential for successful blood transfusion. The International Society of Blood Transfusion has identified 38 human blood types based on the surface antigens on the red blood cells. The most common types are ABO, Rh, and MNS blood types.

Blood Typing

3.5K
Understanding an individual's blood group is a critical component of transfusion medicine. It ensures compatibility in blood transfusions, organ transplants, and even during pregnancy. Determining these blood groups involves the ABO and Rh blood typing systems, utilizing specific antigens and corresponding anti-sera to identify an individual's blood type.
Antigens are protein molecules that reside on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). The ABO and Rh blood typing systems target...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

4.0K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A 3-month-old infant presented with strawberry-pink blood that turned white and lipemic after centrifugation. This rare presentation suggests potential lipid metabolism disorders like familial hypercholesterolemia.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric lipidology
  • Hematology
  • Clinical biochemistry

Background:

  • Blood's typical red color is due to erythrocytes.
  • Lipemia, or high levels of lipids in the blood, can alter blood appearance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a neonate with unusually colored blood.
  • To discuss the differential diagnosis for lipemic blood in infants.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation.
  • Observation of blood color changes before and after centrifugation.

Main Results:

  • The infant's blood was strawberry pink before centrifugation.
  • Post-centrifugation, the blood was white, indicating profound lipemia.
  • Differential diagnoses included familial hypercholesterolemia and familial combined hyperlipidemia.

Conclusions:

  • Infants can present with non-red blood due to severe hyperlipidemia.
  • Familial lipid disorders should be considered in neonates with lipemic blood.
