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.
Treatment of iron deficiency is usually easily accomplished with oral iron supplementations. IN rare cases iron needs to be given intravenously, but this route risks serious allergic reactions and is avoided when possible. Lead poisoning is the next most common and one of the most serious causes of microcytic anemia. It needs to be suspected in any young child with microcytic anemia who does not respond quickly to iron supplementation, or who lives in a home with lead pain exposure. This is mostly older homes.
