Hemoglobin Electrophoresis
Test Overview
A hemoglobin electrophoresis test is a blood test done to check the different types of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. See a picture of hemoglobin.
The most common types of normal hemoglobin are:
- Hemoglobin F (fetal hemoglobin). This type is normally found in fetuses and newborn babies. Hemoglobin F is replaced by hemoglobin A (adult hemoglobin) shortly after birth; only very small amounts of hemoglobin F are made after birth. Some diseases, such as sickle cell disease, aplastic anemia, and leukemia, have abnormal types of hemoglobin and higher amounts of hemoglobin F.
- Hemoglobin A. This is the most common type of hemoglobin found normally in adults. Some diseases, such as severe forms of thalassemia, may cause hemoglobin A levels to be low and hemoglobin F levels to be high.
- Hemoglobin A2. This is a normal type of hemoglobin found in small amounts in adults.
More than 400 different types of abnormal hemoglobin have been found, but the most common are:
- Hemoglobin S. This type of hemoglobin is present in sickle cell disease.
- Hemoglobin C. This is another type of hemoglobin found in sickle cell disease.
- Hemoglobin E. This type of hemoglobin is found in people of Southeast Asian descent.
- Hemoglobin D. This type of hemoglobin may be present with sickle cell disease or thalassemia.
- Hemoglobin H (heavy hemoglobin). This type of hemoglobin may be present in certain types of thalassemia.
Hemoglobin S and hemoglobin C are the most common types of abnormal hemoglobins that may be found by an electrophoresis test.
Electrophoresis uses an electrical current to separate normal and abnormal types of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin types have different electrical charges and move at different speeds. The amount of each hemoglobin type in the current is measured.
An abnormal amount of normal hemoglobin or an abnormal type of hemoglobin in the blood may mean that a disease is present. Abnormal hemoglobin types may be present without any other symptoms, may cause mild diseases that do not have symptoms, or cause diseases that can be life-threatening. For example, hemoglobin S is found in sickle cell disease, which is a serious abnormality of the blood and causes serious problems.
Why It Is Done
Hemoglobin electrophoresis is done to:
- Find each type of hemoglobin in the blood. This can be used to diagnose certain types of anemia (such as thalassemia).
- Check treatment for diseases that have abnormal types of hemoglobin in the blood.
- Help couples find out how likely they are to have a child with certain forms of anemia that can be passed from a parent to a child (inherited).
How To Prepare
Tell your doctor if you are getting iron therapy for iron deficiency anemia.
How It Is Done
The health professional drawing blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Put a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Put pressure to the site and then a bandage.
How It Feels
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
There is very little chance of a problem from having blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
A hemoglobin electrophoresis test is a blood test done to check the different types of hemoglobin in the blood. Results are ready in several days.
Hemoglobin A:
95%–98% of total hemoglobin
Hemoglobin A2:
2%–3% of total hemoglobin
Hemoglobin F:
Less than 2% of total hemoglobin
Abnormal hemoglobin types:
High and low values
- Higher-than-normal amounts of both hemoglobin A2 and hemoglobin F may mean a mild form of thalassemia is present. A very low level of hemoglobin A and a high level of hemoglobin F may mean a more severe form of thalassemia. High levels of hemoglobin F may be seen in a rare condition called hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin.
- Hemoglobin S in moderate amounts can mean that sickle cell trait is present. Hemoglobin S in high amounts means sickle cell disease.
- Hemoglobin C in low amounts can mean that hemoglobin C trait is present. Hemoglobin C in high amounts means hemoglobin C disease, which causes anemia and an enlarged spleen.
- Hemoglobin types S and C mean hemoglobin S-C disease, which causes a mild or moderate form of sickle cell disease.
- Hemoglobin E in low amounts means the presence of hemoglobin E trait. Hemoglobin E in high amounts means hemoglobin E disease, which causes anemia and smaller-than-normal red blood cells.
- Hemoglobin types other than S, C, D, and E are rare. But over 400 types of abnormal hemoglobin have been found.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Having a blood transfusion in the past 3 months.
- Having iron deficiency anemia. This can cause falsely low results for hemoglobin A2.
What To Think About
If you are planning to have children and are found to have abnormal types of hemoglobin in your blood, you might consider genetic counseling. This can help you and your partner see how likely you are to have children with certain inherited forms of anemia (such as sickle cell disease or thalassemia).

Before I was in the "juice know-how"—nothing said juice lovin' to me like a V8. There is something incredibly nourishing about the robust flavor and grounding energy of a spicy tomato concoction. Truth is, I always felt better after a classic or spicy V8. . . now I get to feel even mo' bettah after making one myself. The base ingredient of a V8 was always the tomato—vibrant, gorgeous, and full of energy—a solid way to get your gardening in. I grew up on an organic farm and quite frankly there was nothing better than to trek out to the garden (salt shaker in hand) to pick tomatoes off the vine and partake in their deliciousness. Summer just isn't summer without fresh tomatoes.
Health Benefits
Tomatoes are one of those fruits that give you a vitamin supercharge providing over 50% of your daily Vitamin C needs in a one cup serving. That same cup is action-packed with over 20% of your daily Vitamin A, 15% of vitamin K, 10% of potassium, and a veritable spectrum of over 5% of B1, B2, B3, B4, and B6. And that only tips the edge of what tomatoes offer. Tomatoes include have protein, phosphorous, magnesium, and iron. Yes, iron. All the benefits are yours for the low, low cost of only 37 calories per one cup serving. Oh and yes, tomatoes are packed with fiber too – about 10% of your daily requirements.
From a wide angled health perspective, tomatoes are a good source of antioxidants in the form of lycopene, a natural cancer preventative most proactive in the pancreas, colon, and prostate. However, it's said that if you have an arthritic condition, you should avoid tomatoes and other nightshade vegetables.
Juicing Tips
For juicing, choose a tomato that has a lot of water content, good for making paste (Roma), and aren't overly sweet. The more varieties you choose while juicing, the better quality the taste. Mixing it up = More flavor. The riper the tomato,the better the taste and yield. Choose organic for a better taste and a healthier juice.
Spicy Top Notch Tomato
- 3 ripe tomatoes
- ½ red pepper
- 1 celery stock
- 1 apple
- 1 Tbs. nutritional yeast (packed full of B vitamins and a complete protein)
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp of tamari (or Worcestershire)*
- pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 3 drops of your favorite hot sauce (I like Cholula or Crystal)
Juice the tomatoes, pepper, celery, and apple. Add all other ingredients to the juice and stir.
*If you eat gluten free or are a vegetarian, check the label of Worcestershire sauce carefully as some contain wheat and/or anchovies.

Almost eleven years ago my dad shot and paralyzed his nephew. Ten years ago he entered prison, and tonight, Lord willing and April Fools' Day hijinks notwithstanding, he will be released.
Most of you who already know me know the whole story; you've been with me for the past ten years when the sentence first felt stunning and surreal and then "just the way it is" and now, holy-crap-has-it-been-ten-years-already?! You'll never know how much your support has sustained me; how nick-of-time those jokes, happy hours, hugs and "just because" or "don't worry about it, I've got it this time" gifts were. Thank you. I really do know with my whole soul that I have the greatest friends and family in the entire universe.
As he has served his time I won't get into trying to justify what caused him to lose his temper, but I will say that my dad is not a monster or some deviant hellbent on terrorizing people. He allowed someone to get the better of him in a moment that lived in an entire series of passive, festering moments. He'd be the first one to choke-laugh his way through admitting he hasn't been and never was interested in being a saint. There've been too many hurts, too many familial fractures and too many untended wounds in his life … but that was then.
The most important thing I've learned these last ten years is that my parents are people too. Choosing to meet and see them as such has been the most challenging and affirming and wondrous thing I've yet to do.
I'm writing this post mainly so that any subsequent posts or social media snapshots will make some sort of sense to those of you who may suddenly be seeing my daddy and trying to figure out why I'm so relieved and glad about it. I know I've made it seem like he's always been around in some kind of possibly weird, not totally present way. Now you know why. I'm also really happy and thrilled to show you what redemptive love will look like–Mags and Pete have had an interesting go at married life, but love has never been more patient and sweet to behold. See also how "fun" wedges itself in "dysfunction" for two very fine reasons.
I'm also writing this post because I may need more of your help if they don't actually let him out tonight. Keep the prayers and good wishes and happy thoughts coming! There's been a whole lot of passive aggressive and just plain strange messaging in the weeks leading up to his release–both inside for him and outside for us–and because I've dealt with this prison system for the past ten years I know well enough that power plays and last-minute-because-I-said-so change-ups are sadly and dangerously the norm. As far as I can see there's no more reason to hold him–he's served his time with better behavior inside than out!–but for certain people in positions of oversight and control it's almost as if he's been too quiet and too good for too long.
I've never heard of and have yet to meet anyone else who so wants to claim their loved one from prison more than I do. Ten years is a long time for a man who went in at age 57; for a marriage 44 years in the making; for two women in their early 20s and 30s. The four of us have become different people and the thought of having a reunion has filled each of us with more hope than any of us ever thought we needed to feel.
Which is why my dad telling me over the phone to take a dirt road to the left of the main driveway I normally use when I visit to pick him up at 3AM in the morning is so damn off-putting. We must report to pick him up at 3am but know that they can also hold him until 3pm. So there's this 12-hour window where I need to be there OR they will detain him for another month.
I'm pretty sure Comcast and Time Warner both have better windows of service than this.
I'd also like to point out that I'm picking up a person. A beloved person, yes, but still a person. Not a pair of shoes or an additional cable line or a tax return, but a human being. Dangling him like a past participle in the middle of the freaking night after he's served his sentence still seems to criminalize him in some way and worse, it dares to criminalize me and my happy, law-abiding existence.
This is just one of the things i don't understand about how the prison system "works." In no way do I wish or will I ever attempt to attack the services that are extended to victims of crimes, but I have to wonder, into which "class" of victim do I fall? I haven't been able to call or visit my dad without being subjected to irascible correctional officers, and don't even get me started on the mail. That's a whole other post.
But where can I go where other people are talking about the added expense that some families take on to care for their loved ones? And before you even think about saying that prisoners live better than you do–just go 'head and take it somewhere else. I've got bank statements and receipts from the inside that will tell you otherwise. They will sho'nuff tell you that you will want to know where your tax payer dollars are really going. Hint: it ain't to this mythical, well-equipped gym, or the 50 beds/66 inmates dormitory ratio or the 3 "square" meals and they absolutely are not covering healthcare or these so-called prison industry positions. (They could be going to a doctor who may or may not have practiced as a gynecologist for 30+ years before becoming the primary care physician at an all-male facility though!)
At any rate, I've been struggling with this whole process FOR TEN YEARS and it's just now starting to break free in my writerly mind and I just need to express myself and y'all are always telling me to write more anyways so … thank you :)

Projects nominated for European award
The Chamber of Architects nominated five projects for the European Mies van der Rohe Award, however none made it to the finals.
The principal objective of the award is to recognise and commend excellence in the field of architecture and to draw attention to the important contribution of European professionals in the development of new concepts and technologies. The Chamber issued a call to professionals to submit their projects and received five responses which were all nominated.
One of the projects nominated by the Chamber was called TreeHouse, a residential adaptive reuse project by Architect Monica Audrey Galea, in collaboration with Anthony Galea. Aragon House Business Centre was submitted by BCS Architects, which was constructed with a structural steel frame and composite concrete floor slabs, providing maximum planning flexibility. Another of the nominated works was called "Hanging Home" by Chris Briffa Architects, which reflects a typical middle-class suburbia home in Malta.
Quantum House was designed by Architect Pierre Farrugia in collaboration with Maik Metz, and was planned as an energy efficient and sustainable building. Architecture Project's submission for this edition of the Award consisted of an office at St Barbara's Bastion in Valletta.

My salary is given by cheque every month. Every service holder knows what timely salary payment means to him/her. The responsible person in the admin section of my office deposited my salary cheque on October 05, 2010 at the Gulshan branch of DBBL. It was expected that the money deposited by cheque would be available in my account by October 08, 2010. It was Thursday, the last working day of the week and I did not get the money. My mobile number was written at the back of the cheque. I started feeling worried because none on behalf of the bank called me in case of any inadvertent mistake on my part or theirs. The Eid-ul-Fitr was observed in the last month and we all know that how much money is spent during Ramadan. So I had little money available in my account. There was no 24 hours hotline to contact with. The only option I was left with is - passing moments worrying till Sunday.
In the morning of the opening day, I went to Gulshan branch of Dutch Bangla Bank Ltd. After a few queries, I managed to meet the person responsible for dealing with deposits, Mr. Aziz. On a first glance, he seemed to be a man of amiable personality but no sooner had I uttered the word 'problem', he immediately directed me to the person in front of him. I was astonished to observe the reaction he showed upon receiving customer's report of inconvenience. His manner was utterly abrupt. The least words a customer strongly expect from an employee with professionalism are - "We are sorry for your inconveniences caused." Nonetheless, it did not matter as long as I got my money by Sunday.
The front-desk guy then started searching a pile of files. He did not bother to show courtesy by asking me to sit in a chair - another proof of lack of professionalism when it comes to dealing with customers. Having finished searching for about five minutes, he then asked another man, probably of the peon category, for help. In the end, he failed. Then he sought help of Mr. Aziz. The latter searched for a while and then found that DBBL put a wrong figure against my cheque, omitting a trailing zero. When he found out, I looked at the page - the printed wrong figure was cut and the correct one was hand-written just beside it. I asked him why nobody from the bank called me because it was delayed due to bank's mistake. He seemed reluctant to answer and remained silent with an irritated look on his face. "You will get your money by tomorrow", said Mr. Aziz while he was putting the file back. In an attempt to make him understand the gravity of my situation, I told him that it was my salary cheque and today was the 10th instant. My attempt fell on deaf ears and he said, "I understand. Don't worry. You'll get the money tomorrow." His words might seem enough, but his hand gesture and body language were nowhere near apologetic, rather irritated! It got me infuriated and I looked straight into his eyes and said bluntly, "I am going to sit there and I will NOT leave this office until the money is available in my account. It's YOUR fault!".
Later Mr. Aziz left his chair and returned after about 15 minutes, made some phone calls and then said to me, "We have sent a messenger to Motijheel. Your money will be deposited to your account after 8 pm. You may leave office now."
At about 7 pm on that day, someone from DBBL called me. The caller seemed to be that front-desk guy, who sits in front of Mr. Aziz. He informed me that the messenger could not reach Motijheel by 12:30 pm due to traffic jam and hence your money could not be deposited today. He promised me that it would be done by tomorrow (Monday). I again explained to him the gravity of the situation and asked him to take care of it.
The clock is ticking against 11:15 pm as I am writing this today - the promised tomorrow! I checked my balance at an ATM booth at about 9:30 pm. Still I did not get the money. What a farce in the name of being a trusted parter! DBBL did not care about informing the customer about the delay beforehand, about saying sorry for not keeping the words even after going to the branch!
Tomorrow I will meet the manager of Gulshan branch, probably taking a day off from my office. I shall keep my readers abreast of the latest developments.

Tylenol PM makes me have these outrageous dreams...so I stopped taking it when I could not get any sleep.
Now sleep seems almost impossible, and I havent slept through the night in almost a month....
How is everyone getting shut eye, if you get any at all...??
How does straight benadryl work?
Also, what postions are you sleeping in, and where?...I had to sleep propped up on the couch last night....:::sigh::::
I've had no more than 6 hours of sleep in the last two nights (combined). Between acid reflux, being uncomfortable, DH snoring and having my LO's feet squishing my lungs, sleep has been near impossible.
I haven't taken anything to help me sleep though - I find I can only sleep for 2-3 hours after taking drugs to help anyway.
I like straight benadryl ... a lot! Tylenol PM is good only when I haev a really bad backache or rough BH contrax.
As far as positions, I sleep on my side with a pillow between the legs, one under the belly, and one shoved up into the small of my back. It's a pain when I have to flip over, but oh, so comfortable!
Oh you poor thing.
I've been blessed to be sleeping so well. When I was sleeping with a pillow between my legs I found I woke up every time I needed to turn over. I stopped that I just started sleeping with pj pants on even when it was 95 degrees here (I had a fan faced on me) and sleep well that way. Of course I get up once or twice each night to use the bathroom but I think that's normal and doesn't bother me. I sleep on both of my sides throughout the night and in my bed. At about 22 weeks we did go out and buy a bigger bed, I didn't fit in the previous one comfortably anymore and we bought the most firm one that we could find. The softer ones were too difficult to get in/out of and to turn over in.
With a pillow between my legs and another wedged up against my back.
What usually wakes me up is being too hot. I have to ask DH to roll over away from me so I can cool down Or having to pee.
Rolling over sucks, it always hurts my lower back/pelvis.
I don't. Sorry! Last pregnancy I remember waking up extremely early every morning, like 4am, but that was after sleeping most of the night. Granted, I had a pre-existing bladder condition so getting up to pee 5 or 6 times a night was normal pre-PG.
This time, I've been taking Tylenol PM or Benadryl sometimes but it doesn't help any more. I get up to pee every 20 minutes most of the time. TWENTY MINUTES. That is not a lie. I might sleep one straight hour.
Honestly, I am very doubtful that your dreams are due to Tylenol PM. Pregnancy dreams are just crazy due to hormones that cause you to sleep more deeply. If it works for you, I'd take it.
I'm trying an Ambien tonight to just try and break the cycle of sleeplessness. It's hard to take care of a 3-year-old with no sleep.

Stevan Jovetic does not regret his decision to join Manchester City despite enduring a tough start to life in England.
The Montenegro international was among European football's most sought-after talents once it became clear that a move away from Fiorentina was on the cards.
Premier League heavyweights led the scramble for his services, along with Spanish giants Real Madrid, and it was City who ultimately came out on top.
They parted with £22million to bring him to the Premier League and expected a return on that sizeable investment through assists and goals.
Jovetic has, however, struggled with injury since arriving at the Etihad Stadium, restricting him to just three starts and eight appearances in all competitions.
The 24-year-old is, however, convinced that he made the right choice last summer and is looking forward to kick-starting his City career after returning to full fitness.
In an interview with French broadcaster beIN Sport, Jovetic said: "I never regretted the choice.
"Sure these four-five months have been difficult at the beginning because I was not playing, I got injured often, but now it is all behind me.
"I never doubted myself even in the most difficult moments. I knew that I could play in this team and now I have to prove that.
"City? (Matija) Nastasic and I talked a lot, he convinced me. I decided to come here because there is a major project with many players.
"I should have come the year before, but I was happy and I had a nice season with (Vincenzo) Montella and Fiorentina. There was also Real Madrid, but I chose City."

Love this jacket! I ordered this jacket for my son for his birthday. My husband liked it so much that I had to order another! The North Face makes such quality clothing that I know I will always get a top notch product. This coat provides warmth, but for those of us with a built in heater, cool enough to keep you comfortable. Great coat for driving, not too confining or bulky. I highly recommend this product!!

Global Macro: Life Without Fed Support
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The September Federal Open Market Committee meeting will be this week and months of speculation over stimulus cuts will finally be priced into markets.
Investors expect a cut in the Federal Reserve bond-buying program, and the amount of the cut is what will move markets. The expectation sits at around a $10-$15 billion cut from the current $85 billion monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. If the Fed deviates from this path by a large margin, it should spur heavy volume of bond buying or selling.
The chart below is of iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond (TLT). The long-dated Treasury has sold off heavily since its peak in May as investors have come to terms with higher interest rates and sold off bonds to the point that a stimulus cut is now expected.
The yield curve has returned to levels that are not as completely under the control of the Fed, as they once were when the 10-year rate was under 2%.As the economy continues to improve and fundamentals remain strong, rates should maintain a rise toward levels justified by a positive economic outlook. (VXX). The volatility index has fallen to lows as equity markets sit at record highs. The idea that higher interest rates are justified by a stronger economy has helped improve investors' sentiment. This week, however, the uncertainty of just how large the Fed plans to reduce bonds purchases could lead to a spike in the index. Low interest rates were the reason that assets such as equities and commodities reached the levels they are at in the first place. Although there may be a near-term correction due to a reduction in stimulus, a stronger economy should make the transition to life without Fed intervention easier.

Bardy, my 2 year old , 100 lbs, Lab/Blood Hound mix rescue, is a work in progress. Although he is the sweetest dog in the world, he's been a real challenge. I hired Gary within a week of bringing Bardy home and it's been the best decision I made in a very long time.
We cannot say enough good things about Gary Cimmino! We have three elderly cats, all of whom have chronic conditions. Gary has been great about helping with treatments, such as medication, wound cleaning, and giving subcutaneous fluids, eyedrops, and enemas. He comes when we need him, is on time, efficient, gentle with the cats, and fun to talk to.

Ramada Inn Boston Hotel
Review - Ramada Inn Boston Hotel
- Age Group: 51 - 60
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Family Traveller
air conditioning from room discharges onto enclosed corridor instead of to atmosphere. OK for single night stopover not long term use.
Top Local Tips for Boston
traveling in Southern Argentina If you are traveling to Ushuaia in the winter, do not rent a car. Make arrangements with the hotel. If you like skiing, we recommend you ski at Cerro Castor. The conditions were excellent and the lines at the lifts short.
Glacier Martin, National Park and trip to Halberton to see Penguins My son and I rented a car for a couple of day to do the trips in the title. All three trips were great in their own right and would highly recommend them.
Cheap city tour Look for local buses A and B. For 1.80 pesos per person you get a full tour of the city, including the neighbourhoods where the locals live. To the west, the buses will get to the end of the paved streets and the beginning of the road to the Tierra del Fuego National Park. There they loop around and go the other way up to the end of the city at the eastern edge, on the road that leads to the Cerro Castor ski centre. There the two buses have a 15 minute stop, you have to get off and pay another 1.80 pesos to get back to your starting point (1 and 1/2 hours in all). The "A" bus takes the coastline street and covers the lower neighbourhoods, while the "B" bus takes the streets half-way up the slopes. Although there is obviously no commentary in English or Spanish, you can really get an idea of how large the city is and see the different building styles of the local dwellings. There is only one fare, so just give the driver a 2 peso bill and get the ticket and the change.

GREENSBORO—The state Democratic party is looking for a fresh start following a scandal at its Raleigh headquarters.
The party is choosing a new leader Saturday. The executive committee of the state Democratic party is meeting at the Koury Convention Center Sheraton Hotel in Greensboro. A new leader is expected to emerge from the meeting.
Current chairman David Parker recently announced plans to step down following the disclosure of sexual harassment allegations at party headquarters involving two former employees; including the former executive director.
A settlement was reached between the party and the staffer who filed the complaint. Thursday, a Winston-Salem activist, Frank Eaton, added his name to the list of candidates running to replace Parker as North Carolina Democratic chair. Another Triad native, Sen. Don Vaughn of Greensboro and Raleigh City Councilwoman Mary-Ann Baldwin have also come out to say they would like a shot at leading the party.
