The "blue men of Lurgan" were a pair of Lurgan men suffering from what was described as "familial idiopathic methemoglobinemia" who were treated by James Deeny in 1942. Deeny, who would later become the Chief Medical Officer of the Republic of Ireland, prescribed a course of ascorbic acid and sodium bicarbonate. In case one, by the eighth day ...
The structure of cytochrome b5 reductase, the enzyme that converts methemoglobin to hemoglobin. [ 1 ] Methemoglobin (British: methaemoglobin , shortened MetHb ) (pronounced "met-hemoglobin") is a hemoglobin in the form of metalloprotein , in which the iron in the heme group is in the Fe 3+ ( ferric ) state, not the Fe 2+ ( ferrous ) of normal ...
Hemoglobin M disease is a rare form of hemoglobinopathy, characterized by the presence of hemoglobin M (HbM) and elevated methemoglobin (metHb) level in blood. [1] HbM is an altered form of hemoglobin (Hb) due to point mutation occurring in globin-encoding genes, mostly involving tyrosine substitution for proximal (F8) or distal (E7) histidine residues. [2]
Methemoglobinemia is a condition caused by elevated levels of methemoglobin in the blood. Methaemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin that contains the ferric [Fe 3+] form of iron, instead of the ferrous [Fe 2+] form . Methemoglobin cannot bind oxygen, which means it cannot carry oxygen to tissues.
Most men should start getting screened when they reach 50, and Black men, people with a family history of prostate cancer, and others with a higher risk should get screened starting at 40.
