Naming August - Augustus Caesar. August is the eighth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar and its predecessor, the Julian calendar. The month of August was originally named Sextilis in Latin since it was the sixth month in the ancient Roman calendar. The name of the month was changed to August in honor of Augustus Caesar in 8 BCE.
Anemia. Anemia is a medical condition that can be brought on as a symptom of pancytopenia. The situation generally involves a lack of the usual level of either hemoglobin in the patient's blood, or red blood cells (known as RBCs). It can also be a case where the hemoglobin has a lowered ability of oxygen-binding.
Pathophysiology. The most common cause of macrocytic anemia is megaloblastic anemia, which is the result of impaired DNA synthesis. Although DNA synthesis is impaired, RNA synthesis is unaffected, leading to a buildup of cytoplasmic components in a slowly dividing cell. This results in a larger-than-normal cell.itamin B-12 deficiency is a cause of macrocytosis. Because DNA synthesis requires cyanocobalamin (vitamin B-12) as a cofactor, a deficiency of the vitamin leads to decreased DNA synthesis in the erythrocyte, thus resulting in macrocytosis.
