im just glad to live in this generation where everything can be explained through the internet. years back, such good content and explanation is nowhere to be find except from your in-class concentration or book in the library. still, there is no one to give you a good explanation on the things that you read. you still can read, but that doesn't mean you understand what supposed to be understand. this explanation is really good and precise. really helpful. thank you.
Most welcome, Fareed. We hope that this was able to help! 🙏🏼 ❤️ 😊
This video was used as a helpful informative video to help our understanding of Beta Thalassemia in my Genetics class. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome, Princess! ❤️
This was explained really well. The man I was married to and his mother had Thalassemia Minor. She was asymptomatic but he was chronically anemic, hbg usually around 12 gm/dL, and it made him pretty much exhausted every day. He had to take good care of his liver, especially since he also had Gilbert Syndrome.
Thanks for sharing and for the feedback! 🙏🏼
12 g/dl is pretty good as far as i know.not the best thing ever, but mostly asymptomatic. So i’d assume his anemia is very minor?

I have thal minor and gilbert's syndrome. I feel exhausted all the time and feel like it's in my head sometimes. This is validating. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the work you do to create these videos, very informative, thank you so much.
Thanks, Daisy! 🙏🏼 ❤️ 😊
Awesome, I am from Peru and I have to search for information in english because that information is beautifully described like your videos. Sadly, I can't say the same thing with information in spanish. Keep doing videos like this because you are helping a lot of medicine students. Thanks for making these videos.
You are most welcome! 🥰❤️🙏🏼
También hay videos de ósmosis en español pero no vienen todos los temas, y como dices, en español casi no hay videos que expliquen bieb las enfermedades en general
Thank you ma'am for making this video. Its very well presented, informative from medical and genetics and inheritance point of view. Thank you once again. 🙏🏻
Most welcome! 💕
This would be a better video if some of the more complex medical terms pertaining to the description of thalassemia were explained better. I am really interested in this topic, but words started to go in one ear and out the other because it was a lot of medical terminology without descriptions. Other then that the video was good.
I’m tired all the time and sick all the time too for years and with yellow palms. I got COVID recently and have the long COVID symptoms…like cough and metallic taste in my mouth. So my doctor ordered a chest X-ray. And wala….she noticed that I may have this disease due to some results seen in my spine in the X-ray, and all of these just happened today. But I have to do some bloodwork to confirm the condition. I just got all these information and started researching and found this video here. And this really explains everything thing I needed to know about this condition. Thanks for sharing!🙏🏾
Happy that this video helped, Claire 🙏🏼
I have this stupid disease and it’s really horrible being exhausted all the time. I have minor but it’s definitely not asymptomatic. Long Covid sure hasn’t helped. The worst part though is people not understanding what it’s like to be in a state of frequent exhaustion and they just think you’re lazy. I know there are worse problems to have but it is frustrating to deal with.
Me too.İam Always tired, but all doctore says, minör is not causing symtoms. İ think nobody iş making research for minor and nibody cares
I share your pain 😞
same.
Same problem
According to my PCP (general physician) this is considered a disability, so maybe you can get compensation or help that way. I've just discovered I have it and am learning.
thank you so much on this video. my daughter has alpha thalassemia. i now understand the diff between alpha and beta
We're happy that this video was able to help, David. Thank you for letting us know 🙏🏼
that was very informative.
thank you.
You're welcome! 🥰
1:52 what about ß+ and ß⁰ type progeny. It can also be a possibility right. (In first case i·e· fusion between _ß+ and _ß⁰).
My sister died as a result of this illness and I’m trying to understand how on earth it even happened. Wish I’d taken an interest far, FAR sooner. In any case, thanks for this video.
I am really sorry that you and your family had to go thru this! Could you please tell me which laboratory tests are required for this diagnosis?
Is it possible for a baby 5 months with Beta thalassemia major hemoglobin level to go back up after falling ,with out treatment before any transfusions?
Great video great explanation and animation ✨
Glad you liked it! 😊
Nicely explained 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 🙂
thanks for help me osmosis i wish you happiness💜💫
Always welcome, Saja! ❤️
Sooooo good! Simply good!
Thank you, Molessa!! 😊
If you tell me that the Health education about beta Thalassemia then I'll be very helpful
Thank you
What would be the child combination from beta minor and alpha minor parents? Tried to seek info in the internet, but there are very limited journal talking about this.
Most likely moderate disease.
Very nice explanation.
Glad you liked it, Vinith! 😊
It is a great lecture indeed. Does osmosis provide notes as video lectures?
Thanks for the feedback! You can access the high-yield notes and decision-making trees over at osmsosi.org anytime! 😊
Thank u.
After all videos, lm praying for you... Thanks for all your contributions to my academic life. Love you❤❤❤
I have question my dad is carrier but my mom is normal including me there is 4 kids i have my dad blood type and one of my sibling too other two siblings have my mom blood type im the first kid they had am i gonna be carrier?
Are there any new medicine for hemophilia sik
im talassemia carrier and my liver is so big and that makes me breathe painfull :(
Thank you again
Always welcome! 😊
I just got my blood work results and I have beta Thalassemia. My red blood cells are smaller than usual, kinda pale and fragile. He told me that my bones are producing more than usual to compensate for the fragile red blood cells. Lastly, my iron count is a bit lower than it should be.
This explains why, since I was in middle school, after 2pm - 3pm I'd feel really tired and would often fall asleep in class. I'd get made fun of by class mates and get in trouble by the teachers but no one knew and I couldn't help it.
Do you think the pale red blood cells that are fragile is something I should be concerned about.? What about the increased production of red blood cells, can that spiral into something serious in the future.?
It is perfect🤯 thanks osmosis
Glad you like it! 💕
thank you!!
🥰 🥰 🥰
Tq🙏
very well explained
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
the random noise in 1:16 scared the hell out of me
Sources? Also this vid is so goated lol
Fantastic,,,,, please can you tell me what the difference is between the B Thalassemia minor and B Thalassemia trait? Or they are the same
They are the same yes.
Hello to the voice behind this Video, as you’ve liked every comment I hope you’ll notice my comment as well. My cousins have thallasemia and getting blood transfused from 9 months age and spleen operated as it enlarged. Not my sister, had CBT blood test. As she had fever. And got 97 g/l hemoglobin or 9.7 g/dl she had rise in bilirubin and low MCV. She have another test on Friday KMPORTANT TO MENTION she’s 21 years old. As my cousins got it at 9 months age, is it safe to assume it is minor thalla? Also on test it says Microcytosis +3…. I am very confused and stressed I would have happily volunteered in front of god to give me this condition but not to my sis she usually get very tended 🙁
When I watched first few secs of video I loved it and wanted to comment and get in touch. Then I was scared to see million subscriber as I knew I may not get any reply 😢
Very good
Thanks, Gajanan! 😊
What can I do to treat my beta thalassemia minor? I play hockey and I seem to get fatigued way quicker than others and I have trouble focusing, is there anything I can do? I already live a pretty healthy lifestyle so I don’t know what to do
Anyone responsible is going to tell you to consult with your doctor or care provider. What mine gave me was a shot of B-12 to help temporarily, but I'm not sure it worked.
Let me know if you found answers. All sources seem to describe beta thalassemia minor as being asymptomatic. However, I have been experiencing a feeling of sluggishness, prone to fatigue, and a quicker fatigue rate in comparison to individuals of my age with the same lifestyle.
Very Good 👌👌👌👌
Thanks! 💖
Great 👍🏼
Thank you! 🙌🏼
Great video as
always. Some french accent in that voice though.
I noticed no such thing.
Thank u❤
You're welcome! 😊
Best one
Thanks, Malik! 😊
could you send your power point to internet ?
I found out today after 16 years that I had thalassemia
I found out today at 22
@@Yvettep777 maybe, I can't tell. One thing I know is that I gas out pretty quickly.
I found out at 36 and again at 37 because it wasn't really explained well initially.
Wht will happen to the child if alpha and beta talesmia carrier marry?
If it is B+B0 what its called?
Can anyone pls tell about this statement
Thalassemia intermedia. Not minor not major anemia could be mild to moderate. Check out haematologist.
Justtt WOOOOOW

I am male
I am non carrier
But my patner have betta thalessiamia carrier
Plz guide me about future.
You should visit a genetic counselor
I've never heard of *Betta* Thalassemia but *Beta* Thalassemia is recessive so no worries for you and your partner.
@@KerbalHub who knows if his partner has betta thalassemia gene too. Better go to a genetic counselor just in case.
There's a chance that your offsprings might be born as Beta Thalessemia. Which is not a problem. Just gotta maintain your hameoglobin.

Who is come here after tmkoc 😢
Tmkoc😅
So so not too good 🙂
tmkoc😂😂
This is going to be childish and before doing that I’d like to send my prayers out to anybody suffering with this because it’s something that’s very serious and life altering.
Now..
Damnit, I’m tired of y’all! Who came up with “chipmunk facies“? 😮😮😅😅😅 I want they office key. They cain’t name not another damn thing.
Not nan-another!
I can’t be up playing with y’all tonight. I got to get some rest for work but… I come home and I put on this very interesting sounding video that’s ultra serious until this woman starts talking about some damn chipmunk facies. I spent the rest of the video trying to make sure this wasn’t a Comedy Skit.
Is that the technical name… the medical name?
That needs a lil work.
If I was to call the lady “chipmunk face havin @$$”… Would I be all wrong or partially correct?🤷🏾♂️
