Iron is an essential micronutrient for all living organisms. To maintain the complex process of erythropiesis and heme synthesis erythroid precursors require 20-30 mg daily. The absorption of dietary iron is equal to the daily losses, so the most iron is available from senescent red cells. Ferritin and hemosiderin provide reserve of iron in the body. The functional iron consists of various proteins like hemoglobin and myoglobin. Binding to transferrin the iron is transported to sites of use. Iron intestinal absorption, circulation and tissue intake is tightly regulated at protein and cellular level. Hepcidin is a protein, primarily produced in liver and is regulated by iron status, inflammation, anemic conditions and hypoxia. In routine clinical practice the evaluation of iron metabolism is based on a combination of laboratory parameters, which help to establish the diagnosis and therapeutic procedures.

The cause of myelodysplasia is unknown in majority of patients, but mostly by exposure to radiation, chemotherapeutic agents, benzene or other organic compounds. In the past few years transcriptional inactivation of tumour suppressor genes by promoter CpG island hypermethylation has been a subject of intense interest as a causal factor in haematological malignancies.Because these epigenetic events and the molecular alterations that might cause them and/or underlie altered gene expression in malignancies.Recent advances have connected DNA methylation to chromatin-remodelling enzymes,and understanding this link will be central to the design of new therapeutic tools.No truly effective treatment exists for MDS,and therapy usually focuses on reducing or preventing compications of the disease.

Press Release
A new technology developed at Hadassah University Medical Center has made it possible to produce large amounts of human embryonic stem cells. Until now, hESCs –which have the potential of ripening into any other type of body cells for repair of tissues and organs– have been created in small numbers and could not be exploited in cases of transplantations and others. This breakthrough may be the key to developing systems to manufacture the enormous quantities of stem cells required to treat millions of patients.

INTRODUCTION
Sexual abuse is a frequent and violent crime and it is the most underreported of all crimes [1]. Victims can include male and female adults and children. The victims may suffer from depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, even many years after the assault [1]. They are also at risk for acquisition of many sexually transmitted diseases, such as infections with herpes simplex virus, hepatitis B or C viruses, and HIV [2].

Physiotherapy is the treatment and prevention of injury and disease by natural means. These natural means involve many varied skills gained over several years of extensive recognised training in order to achieve the title of Chartered Physiotherapist. The aim of physiotherapy is to help alleviate pain, restore normal movement and function patterns and help return the body to its natural balanced state without chemical intervention.
Physiotherapists employ a wide range of skills to achieve this:
Electrotherapy

If you suffer from constant pain, swelling, locking or instability of your knee, a procedure known as arthroscopy will help relieve these symptoms.
The arthroscope is a fiber optic instrument, narrower than a pen, which is placed into the knee through a tiny incision (portal). A small camera attached to the arthroscope, allows the surgeon to view the knee structures on a television monitor. Using additional portals (usually 1), small instruments ranging in size from 3-5 millimetres are inserted into the knee.

What is Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetes is a chronic, systemic disease, in which the body does not use and store sugar properly. It results in many health problems; diabetic retinopathy is one of them. In this complication of diabetes, the eye’s retina is damaged because the system of blood vessels nourishing the front surface of the light-sensitive retina is weakened. Fragile, new blood vessels form in the retina.

WHAT IS IT?
A cataract forms when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, probably because of changes in the proteins of the lens. Cataracts are extremely common; more than half of Americans age 65 and older have a cataract, and it is thought that nearly everyone will develop one if they live long enough. Cataracts take a long time to develop to the point that they are a serious problem for your vision. There are several types of cataract;
