She sent Sir Walter Raleigh to found a colony in America in 1584, which he named Virginia after the virgin Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth was made aware of a plot against her which questionably implicated her captive Catholic cousin Mary-Queen of Scots.
Blood loss is the most common cause of anemia, especially iron-deficiency anemia. Blood loss can be short term or persist over time. Heavy menstrual periods or bleeding in the digestive or urinary tract can cause blood loss. Surgery, trauma, or cancer also can cause blood loss. If a lot of blood is lost, the body may lose enough red blood cells to cause anemia.
Bleeding disorders are often caused by a failure of the blood to clot. Several conditions can affect the way the blood clots. Many causes are related to protein defects in the plasma (the liquid component of blood).omplications can also arise if the disorder is severe or causes excessive blood loss. Common complications of bleeding disorders include: 1  bleeding into the brain. 2  bleeding within the intestines. 3  bleeding into the joints. 4  joint pain.
