6. Hemolytic anemia of the newborn due to Rh factor incompatibility Rh-negative mothers who develop antibodies against Rh-positive blood toward the end of pregnancy with an Rh-positive fetus (due to some transfer of maternal blood to the fetus). Destruction of red cells in the newborn infant. In severe cases, there may be almost complete destruction of the infant’s red cells and damage to the brain by the accumulation of bilirubin (pigment resulting from the breakdown of hemoglobin). 7. Hookworm or tapeworm infestation Infestation of the gastrointestinal tract by parasitic worms that feed on blood (hookworm) or nutrients (tapeworm).
In contrast, programmed cell death or apoptosis involves a shrinkage of the cell and enzyme-catalyzed DNA fragmentation. This fragmentation can be detected as a laddering when the DNA is extracted from the cell and separated by electrophoresis. Apoptosis is a process that is an integral part of living systems. It is part of the growth process as well as the maintenance of cell and tissue function. It is also part of wound healing and recovery from traumatic injury. Adipose tissue remodeling, immune function, epithelial cell turnover, and the periodic shedding of the uterine lining are but a few examples of this process.
