Answer to Question 1

Answer: Spherocytes in peripheral circulation cause bilirubinemia that subsequently causes bilirubin buildup. Excessive bilirubin production leads to the formation of gallstones.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Ham and sucrose lysis tests: PNH: increased lysis; HS, HE, HPP, and OHS: normal lysis
Osmotic fragility: HS, HPP, and OHS: increased osmotic fragility; HE, and PNH: normal osmotic fragility
Immunophenotyping: PNH: CD55 and CD59: low intensity staining; HS, HE, HPP, and OHS: normal immunophenotyping
Intracellular ion concentration: OHS: increased intracellular sodium; HS, HE, HPP, and PNH: normal intracellular ion concentration

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
