forgive me . . . my relationship to pac is too precious to me for the scenes in all eyez on me to stand as truth ,
she tweeted .
come to think of it , that ' s not such a bad way to describe that ' s not me – a $ 60 , 000 trojan horse of a film , fairly bursting with comedy , humanity and interesting ideas .
that ' s not me didn ' t quite do what it said on the tin , but i did enjoy the journey .
madrid — london - based film republic has acquired world sales rights to “anashim shenem lo ani” ( “ people that are not me ” ) , a tel aviv - set romantic dramedy .
that ' s not me opens on september 7 , with a series of q & a events featuring gregory erdstein and alice foulcher . details : urltoken
raw and refreshing in its humour , that’s not me is a feel - good comedy about the difference between failure and disappointment . we can’t all be oscar winners . not everyone will make it . but is that such a bad thing ?
director ' s bio born in 1988 , hadas ben aroya lives in tel aviv , israel . in 2014 , ben aroya graduated from the steve tisch school of film at tel aviv university . while studying she wrote and directed a short film called sex doll that participated in the tel aviv international student film festival and won the gold panda , sichuan . people that are not me ( 2016 ) is her feature film debut .
in 2014 she was granted an eight - month writing residency in paris with erdstein at the prestigious cité des arts internationale where they wrote the script for that’s not me .
few scripts revolve around characters with disabilities and sharrock hopes her film will represent part of an experience that has been largely ignored in film .
12 . and the main message of the book is
just not to judge
.
hadas ben aroya ' s people that are not me took the astor for best film at the 31st edition of the mar del plata film festival , which officially closed saturday night with a ceremony at the astor piazzola hall of the argentine city ' s auditorium theater , hosted by argentine actress andrea frigerio ( the distinguished citizen ) .
premiering earlier this month at the locarno film festival , where it played in the signs of life section , “people that are not me” is about people who are very much like the friends and contemporaries of director hadas ben aroya , a young israeli writer - director who self - produced “people that are not” and plays its lead . “people” marks her first feature .
ben aroya commented that was in her last semester at the steve tisch school of film that she realized that she was “part of something . ” “western society teaches young people that they are special little unicorns . well , i’m not . ” so “people that are not me” is about her “friends and their non - unicorn lives , ” what “unites and defines us . ”
their debut feature that ' s not me cost just $ 60 , 000 , and after meeting with plenty of love on the festival circuit the savvy comedy is now getting a limited cinema release .
11 .
ultimately it’s a piece of fiction , it’s not meant to represent anybody else’s experiences .
if not for me is an hour - long documentary which tackles the tough questions many parents ask about pediatric research by talking with families who have been there . the film shares stories of families who have a child with a chronic or acute illness and were asked to join a research study .
“by the end of the story , when you get to paris , then the audience can take a massive breath and see lots of things are ahead that would not have been possible if they had not met . ”
can you somehow capture the now with the feeling of old . we have been working with nostalgia this entire decade but i think that ' s not me finds the perfect balance where we are watching the modern while somehow being in the early 90s and 80s effortlessly . this film captures that while also telling a very real , modern story of what it means to be successful while not living to your personal potential .
when asked about the backlash , moyes said she understood why it is being criticised as she sees that it is a controversial topic , but she wanted to point out that it is fiction . she told us :
it’s a controversial topic , i get that , and people are going to have very strong opinions . i hope that if you get into the head of this very uncompromising man you understand why he chooses to make the decision that he makes . but ultimately it’s a piece of fiction , it’s not meant to represent anybody else’s experiences . it’s just the thing that interested us was to explore one person’s very particular circumstance .
it ' s something that moyes learnt to not be too precious about as
you physically can’t fit all those details in . . . there’s just not enough time to explore that in the way that doesn’t unbalance everything .
film republic is a london based sales agency specialised in art house fiction and cinematic documentaries .
it goes without saying some things had to be changed in order for the film adaptation to work – and mainly
because otherwise it would be a six - hour film
.
but me before you refreshingly bucks this trend . not only did sharrock lead as director and moyes work as the screenwriter , but karen rosenfelt and alison owen were the producers , while sue baden - powell acted as executive producer .
leaving aside the complex issue of assisted dying , one of the film ' s biggest problems is how much me before you shields the audience . for a supposed romance , it ' s surprisingly prudish .
on friday the film had a 25 percent rating on the movie site
rotten tomatoes .
8 . a few characters and storylines had to be dropped for the film version to work .
pretty darn proud to be one of two australian films ( 😘 ali ' s wedding ) on a knockout top ten list for the melbourne international film festival audience awards . even prouder to be top ten at both melbourne and sydney film festival . thanks to everyone who voted and if you missed out - that’s not me hits aussie cinemas on 7 september exclusively at palace cinemas ! # supportaustralianfilm # playtowin 👊🏻🏆 full list of winners : urltoken
when she was asked how important it was to her to be involved in the process of bringing her story to the big screen , moyes gushed ,
oh god , i would have been heartbroken if they had not wanted me included .
it ' s one of the reasons why various views are shown in the film – not only will ' s , but also those of his parents , who are more understanding of his decision , but also louisa ' s mother , who at first is very vocal about disagreeing with it .
we wanted to make sure that all those opinions were represented . what we wanted to do was put the question , not give an answer . this just asks you : what would you do ? you know , and it’s nothing more than that . i don’t think it can represent more than any other story can , it’s just one extreme situation .
this was a good little comedy which really had me hooked from the very first scene : planning an oscar acceptance speech - we all do it , just perhaps not always on the loo . as a twin myself i really felt for some of the situations the main character found herself in , and as well as being a comic film , it effectively explores disappointment and life not going the way you had planned . overall it’s quite hilarious - especially the running joke of jared leto !
pac never read me that poem . i didn ' t know that poem existed until it was printed in his book .
all eyez on me ,
starring demetrius shipp jr . and kat graham , opened in theaters friday , on what would have been shakur ' s 46h birthday , and it ' s not winning rave reviews from some who knew the slain rapper .
“i couldn’t understand it and i’m one of these people that if i don’t understand something i have to read as much as i can about it , ” moyes said . “the more i read the more i realised it’s not a black and white issue , you know , that there’s not necessarily a right or a wrong to it and i guess as a writer that’s what fascinates me . ”

“to be acknowledged by a group which recognizes the very best in film and video is an honor , ” says lisa marceau , executive director and vp of digital strategies . “the film has been a collaboration of creativity , commitment , and dedication to the importance of research and the craft of film - making . we are grateful for the teamwork with mmp and the support by nhlbi . ” refinements to the documentary film are being made with plans for broad release late spring or early summer – a trailer of the film can be viewed here .
moyes added :
the moment you hand over your book you have to accept the decisions that are made are not necessarily going to be yours , and i was lucky that they chose to include me on a lot of the decisions .
having seen how much effort the film team put into finding sharrock , moyes felt confident they were handling her
baby
well enough .
me before you is like a two - hour snl skit parodying a bad romantic drama starring a baby - person and a sociopath .
9 . they did film the storyline about stephen traynor’s affair but it detracted too much from the main story .
me before you will have you weeping uncontrollably . it will also set your heart on fire , but it ' s not just a typical tear - jerking romance : it even has moments that will make you laugh . maybe laughing with tears running down your cheeks , but still .

pac never said goodbye to me before leaving for la . he had to leave abruptly and it wasn ' t to pursue his career .
occasionally so insightful into aussie film culture that i had to cover my eyes , and led by a great performance by alice foulcher . when the film just exploring the life of her down and out wannabe actress , it ' s damning and hilarious . but after the first act , it starts repeating itself , not really picking up on an actual story until the last 20 minutes . before that momentum really picks up , however , the film ends in a strangely disingenuous and weirdly regressive way .
“there are no absolutes , but there are things that often happen and we wanted to get those across . it is really important to me that the film seems real to anyone who knows anything about this kind of disability . over five months , sam and i sent each other lots of cuttings and book recommendations to work out how to create this character who does not do what you necessarily expect . ”
“we did not want to be dismissive of either side , ” she said . “there are a few well - known cases where people have made these choices and on the wards people knew patients who had done so . they were able to say that they understood , but that was not their story . ”
the film is 2 hours and 20 minutes long , and considering that tupac was only 25 years old when he was gunned down in a drive - by shooting in las vegas on sept . 7 , 1996 , that should be enough time to tell his story with intimacy and flow . yet “ all eyez on me , ” directed by the music - video veteran benny boom , is an old - school biopic that reminds you why old - school biopics faded : it has that overly sprawling , one - thing - after - another quality that can make you feel like you’re seeing the cinematic version of a wikipedia entry .
also dp - ed ( meidan ) and edited ( or lee - tal ) by other recent alums of the steve tisch school of film at tel aviv university , “people that are not me” turns on joy ( ben aroya ) , who’s a mess . she can’t let go of her ex , sleeps around , then meets nir , a free - willed intellectual who does and says what he wants , inspiring joy .
on friday , pinkett smith took to social media to complain about the film , which she called
deeply hurtful .
pinkett smith then went on to tweet some of the things she believes the film got wrong about her relationship with shakur .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
but it didn ' t translate on screen .
i think that was such an interesting example to me of the difference between book and film because in the book she refers to it in almost a throwaway line , she doesn’t spell out what happened and you can’t do that visually . you can’t throw that away and not be respectful to the issue . so we tried and tried and tried , and in the end we just had to accept that to put that in and give it the weight the subject deserves unbalanced the whole film because it then changes a ) the tone of the film and b ) it changes her relationship with everything , and so we had to lose that .
after 5 weeks , today is our last day in cinemas with one final midday session at kino cinemas ( g’arn melburnians ! ) . for a small independent film like ours to have played for this long is an incredible achievement and we have you the audience to thank . so thank you to everyone who came out to support that’s not me ! and a big thank you to palace cinemas for having us ! it’s been one helluva ride ! 🤗🍾🍿👊
and this was a bonus when most people don ' t realise how unlike the serious , conquering daenerys targaryen clarke actually is in real life . moyes said :
in person she is just nothing like khaleesi . [ she has a ] huge smile , she’s bubbly , she’s funny , she’s a bit kooky . i’m sure she’d hate me for saying that . but most importantly she just has this warmth that just kind of comes at you and it even showed on screen .
and the deal was sealed when she was put together with claflin .
i suddenly understood why people talk about chemistry because it was there and it was palpable and yeah , for me they are the perfect cast ,
said moyes .
“making a film about unauthentic people requires strict authenticity , ” she said . so she cast non - actors and played the lead .
this is erdstein and foulcher’s debut feature . erdstein has collaborated with foulcher on a number of short films , including “picking up at auschwitz , ” which was nominated for the short film competition prize at the 2012 st . kilda film festival , “a bit rich” and “paris syndrome . ”
if everyone and everything had been paid for , they say , the true cost of the film would have been around $ 900 , 000 .
janine was most recently seen on abc tv ‘s the code and has previously starred in erdstein and foulcher’s acclaimed short film picking up at auschwitz .
the novel’s open attitude to assisted suicide made the book controversial in some quarters , and sharrock listened to rival views before she shot the film .
alice foulcher is an australian actor and writer . she frequently collaborates with her husband , director and co - writer gregory erdstein – whom she met while studying at the esteemed victorian college of the arts ( vca ) school of film and television in 2008 . their short films have screened at multiple film festivals internationally – most notably their tropfest short film a bit rich ( 2014 ) , the critically lauded picking up at auschwitz ( 2012 ) , and paris syndrome ( 2016 ) . as writer and director , foulcher’s own short films have screened at major film festivals in australia and internationally .
it ' s not perfect - there are times when the pacing is off and the epilogue tries too hard to end things on a positive note - but it ' s effective and affecting .
will traynor , the handsome , wheelchair - using hero of the bestselling novel me before you , by british author jojo moyes , has already left millions of readers around the world sobbing and heartbroken . now a leading west end director is inviting cinema audiences to go through it all again with the release of her first feature film .
richard davies is an australian actor and writer best known for his roles in popular australian television series offspring and the saddle club , as well as the 2015 smash hit film oddball . in 2010 , he wrote , produced and starred in the short film when the wind changes , which won multiple awards at film festivals across australia . he has most recently starred as the title character in the web - series bruce directed by tony rogers ( wilfred ) .
and according to moyes it was all down to costume designer jill taylor , who took the process very seriously from the beginning . and we have to say , she did an exemplary job . me before you is not your usual weepy romance as there are also plenty of laughs , thanks in large part to each time louisa comes on screen in one of her kooky outfits .
director gregory erdstein graduated the course i ' m doing roughly 10 years ago . he came in to talk to us about this film , some other shorts he ' s made , and his life as a filmmaker . i hadn ' t seen this , so went onto itunes and rented it that night . and after watching , i liked it ! it ' s cleverly written , and the story goes places i wasn ' t expecting it to . the main character keeps making terrible decision after terrible decision . erdstein described it as the
anti - la la land
and i can see why . am excited to see what he and his partner alice foulcher make next . overall , a cool little aussie film set in melbourne ! would rewatch again easily .
sleekly shaven - headed , with a pirate bandana , a gangsta’s dripped - in - death tattoos , and the liquid stare of an arabian prince , tupac shakur was the matinee idol of hip - hop superstars : not the fiercest rapper , not the most virtuosic or visionary , but a figure of “hard” ferocity who elevated street nihilism by fusing it with a certain lovesexy bravura . [ … ]
1 . yes , me before you was inspired by a real - life news story . it was also inspired by a couple of moyes ' family members who required 24 - hour care .
( cnn ) all eyes are on a new film about the life of tupac shakur , and some of his friends don ' t like what they see .
directed by gregory erdstein this film stars alice foulcher , isabel lucas and richard davies . an aspiring actor struggles when her twin sister suddenly becomes a successful actress .
polly cuthbert ( alice foulcher ) is a struggling actress , while that reality is not at all unique , neither is she personally . polly is an identical twin and her identical twin is also an actress who…
that ' s not me , in which foulcher plays acting twins amy , whose career is soaring , and polly , whose career is stalling , grew out of their desire to make something more substantial .
we thought we ' d do it in a really lo - fi , mumble - core way . initially we thought we ' d spend $ 20 , 000 at most ,
says erdstein .
[ lewis ] threw himself into the role of patrick ,
moyes grinned .
he was taking the mickey out of himself when i first met him because , you know , he’s a good lad from leeds and there he was drinking green juice while we were all on tea and butties and he was like , ' my friends would not know me now . ' i loved him so much , and the fact he was in lycra on set every day was not hard for us women on set . those days had a little lift to them , shall we say . does that sound creepy ? !
7 . it was down to moyes to make sure the film stayed as true to the book as possible and spot any problems in bringing certain aspects to life .
lionel messi and diego armando maradona are considered two of the best football players of all times they both come from argentina . a country that has provided the world not just with these . . . see full summary »
dominic l . santana , who plays knight , captures the underworld mogul’s self - righteous menace , and the second half of the movie , in which shakur finds his greatest success , records his greatest song ( the momentous “california love” ) , and experiences his greatest existential confusion while at death row , is the ominous heart of “all eyez on me . ” it’s not just that he’s surrounded by back - stabbers and glad - handers , as well as musicians like dr . dre ( harold house moore , in an underwritten role ) and snoop dogg ( jarrett ellis , who gets the voice but not the snakish cunning ) . in essence , tupac is still in prison , trapped not just in a three - album contract but in a stance of outlaw brutishness that’s become , in his own mind , “political” : the only stance the white man will allow him .
6 . the production team was very female - heavy – something you don ' t often see in the film industry . but it was also a
total accident
.
there are presently no session times scheduled for this film . times for new release films are generally available from 12pm on the tuesday prior to release . please check back later .
if there ' s a formula for making a low - budget film with oodles of charm , it seems husband and wife team gregory erdstein and alice foulcher must have nailed it .

me before you is now out in cinemas , and it ' s all thanks to writer jojo moyes , who wrote the book and adapted it for the film . yes , things had to be tweaked or ignored , and minor details had to be dropped altogether . but what does appear on screen is possibly the closest anyone could ever get to bringing the book and its complex characters to life .
we did film it but that was just an editing thing . and again what we found is when you know about the affair it actually changes the way the audience feels when you have those tender moments between the parents towards the end , because you’re not focusing on louisa and will , which is the important bit at that point . you’re focusing on the fact he’s touching her shoulder and you go , ' oh , perhaps they’re getting back together . ' you know , it changes your emotional focus . but all that stuff you only find out once you’re on set . that’s what i found really fascinating to me as a writer .
13 . there could potentially be a sequel based on the follow - up book , after you , which follows louisa post - will . but only if this first film warrants it .
moyes talked to buzzfeed uk about her involvement in making the film , working with director thea sharrock , the cast , and the problems she faced in bringing the story to the big screen . there are many , many spoilers about the book and movie below , so go and read the book and watch the film before continuing if you don ' t want it to be spoiled !
book readers will notice in the movie how much stronger will ' s parents seem as a couple . and after a lot of tweaking it was decided it was best for the film audience .
since previews for the film began it has come under a lot of criticism from disability rights campaigners , who are angry about the depiction of will sending what they say is the wrong message .

“this project was funded by nhlbi to address the unique issues surrounding pediatric clinical research participation , ” said victoria pemberton , project officer at the national heart , lung , and blood institute ( nhlbi ) . “parents agree that clinical research for children is important to find new and better treatments , but misperceptions , fears and lack of information often lead parents to forgo enrollment of their children . if not for me works to address those misconceptions by highlighting families that have gone through pediatric clinical trials . ”

sharrock , claflin and steve peacocke , who plays nathan , a trained nurse , researched the impact of quadriplegia together for the film . the three spent time in hospital talking to patients with spinal injuries .
i absolutely trusted them ,
she confessed .
i felt that , you know , they hadn’t wanted me to change anything , they wanted to keep it as a british production , they wanted to keep the ending , they wanted to keep the character of the movie very true to the book . so when they told me they were speaking to director upon director , and this was a long search , i felt confident that they were putting some serious thought into this .
whether you read the book or watch the movie , whatever the format the story will certainly move you . so when we asked moyes what she hopes people will take away from the story , she told us the overall message is
just not to judge
.
as a theatre director she has directed the national tours of elizabeth coleman’s secret bridesmaid’s business and it’s my party ( and i’ll die if i want to ) , max gillies live at the republic club and an evening with richard frankland for the sydney opera house and adelaide cabaret festival . she is a recipient of the ewa czajor award for female directors and the peter summerton award for directing . catherine has a passion for new writing and australian stories ( especially funny ones ) and she loved working on that’s not me !
in the latin american competition , the jury — which included film curator agnes wildenstein , american filmmaker john gianvito , argentine critic marcelo stiletano and directors nelson carlo de los santos arias and adirley queirós — selected vincent carelli , tatiana almeida and ernesto de carvalho ' s martirio as best film and yamil quintana ' s aire quemado for best short . eduardo williams ' the human surge also was awarded with a special jury prize .
a rarity – a london - based arthouse sales agency – film republic has a strong line in film from a new generation of filmmakers , arthouse and more more mainstream foreign - language titles , such as scottish filmmaker ben sharrock’s “pikadero , ” about two frustrated young lovers in a crisis - struck basque village , and swiss niklaus hilber’s “amateur teens , ” which centers on a group of teens at a secondary school in zurich .
man i watched the 2 pac film , that was some bulls * * t ,
50 cent wrote on the caption to an instagram posting .
catch that s * * t on a fire stick .
moyes didn ' t get to choose the director who took on the project , but it ' s fair to say she was more than happy with the decision . and it seems the whole cast was pretty enthralled by sharrock . in an instagram post by lead star sam claflin this week , he wrote :
thea really was the beating heart of this experience . she really made this journey worth fighting for , for me as an actor . and me as a person . i owe it to her . and you guys do too .
thea sharrock , who directed tom hiddlestone in shakespeare’s henry v for the bbc in 2012 , believes the fresh tears will be worth it , as the film offers a chance to pause and reflect on the real value of life .
joy is a young woman living in tel aviv who has a love - hate relationship with the city’s casual sex scene . her whole world is her apartment , which happens to be located on the same street where her ex lives . after her failed and desperate attempts to get him back , joy becomes inspired by nir , a chatty intellectual type , who says and does whatever he wants . dealing with themes of urban loneliness within the y generation , people that are not me centres on the young people of tel aviv who yearn for intimacy and are also terrified by it .
indeed , it ' s not . with its well - drawn characters , sharp dialogue and thoughtful grappling with the gulf between expectation and reality in gen y lives , it has more than a whiff of the modern screwball comedies of noah baumbach and greta gerwig ( frances ha , mistress america ) about it .
tomas de leone ' s el aprendiz won best film honors in the argentine competition , and the best director prize went to lukas valenta renner for a decent woman . jury members in this category included jinna lee , ted fendt and julietta sichel .
“we kept it as english - looking as we could , so there is a greyness of tone , ” said sharrock . “i didn’t want to show gritty britain , because this is not about that . then when lou takes will on holiday , it had to look as if she had tried her absolute best for him .
apparently unaware of the old film - acting adage that
less is more
, she ( emilia clarke ) over - acts from scene - setting beginning to would - be tear - jerking end . her eyebrows almost deserve a credit of their own .
she added :
i mean , the thing that intrigued me about the story i originally heard on the radio was my impulse was to immediately judge the parents . like , what kind of parents are they ? and i think when you look behind the curtain at the reality of someone’s situation what you realise is that most of the time people are doing their best in extraordinary circumstances . and what i felt about creating a story like this is you have one man whose decision you might not agree with , and nobody else agrees with it frankly in the film either , but i think it would be very hard once you know who he is to judge him for the decision that he makes . i think that we’re a very judgmental society and you never know really what goes on in someone’s mind or what experiences they’ve had to make that decision . so yeah , let’s just be a little kinder to each other .
is an hour - long documentary which tackles the tough questions many parents ask about pediatric research by talking with families who have been there . the film shares stories of families who have a child with a chronic or acute illness and were asked to join a research study .
it ' s part of the beauty of the film , especially when you see clarke , who plays daenerys targaryen in game of thrones , acting in the bubbly role of louisa next to the fatherly figure of dance , who played her rival tywin lannister in the hbo show .
i think the useful thing to them was that i have carried the book as a whole with the character arcs and the issues and the romance and the humour . i’ve carried the balance in my head for so long that i could kind of be a shortcut to say , ' yeah , you can ' t say that ' or ' you can’t do that because that means that will work . ' and so my job was not to get in the way . my job was , i worked out very quickly , to sort of sit on the stairs with my computer and wait for people to ask me , and that is what i did . and it was great .
and this soon became the basis for me before you : “so what i wanted to do was to write a story about a man who is uncompromising and who makes a decision that nobody else around him agrees with and put myself in the shoes of him , his mother , and maybe somebody who wanted to change his mind . ”
sharrock took the lead when it came to casting but she worked closely with moyes to decide on the final line - up .
because she and i have been really closely entwined ever since she came on board she would send me links and say , ' what do you think about this person for so and so ? '

very relatable in its cinema worker scenes . i watched this movie too late last night , so i was a little tired the last half hour of my shift at my own cinema worker job , and i might have let my emotions show a little too much when a customer talked to me like i wasn ' t a person . very relatable indeed .
moyes perfectly described the look with this comment :
there’s a very fine line between quirky english girl trying stuff out and crazy lady , and i think what’s interesting is i feel jill managed to keep it on the right line . i think what i like about louisa’s wardrobe is she’s not trying to draw attention to herself ; it’s just about her expression of her individual personality .
“ all eyez on me , ” the messy , hugely flawed , but fascinating biographical drama that has now been made about him , channels those contradictions , even if it doesn’t always know what to do with them . comprehensive but sketchy , richly atmospheric but often under - dramatized , it is not , in the end , a very good movie ( there are a few scenes , like tupac’s initial meeting with ted field of interscope records , that are embarrassingly bad ) . yet it’s highly worth seeing , because in its volatility and hunger , and the hidden desperation of its violence , it captures something about the space in which tupac shakur lived : a place that wanted to be all about pride and power , but was really about flying over the abyss .

both funny and a little bit tragic this is a good blend of comedy and drama looking at sibling rivalry and the desire for fame . there are more than enough laughs along the way to entertain . generally the film is well made and i look forward to seeing what else the husband and wife team of erdstein and foulcher comes up with .
and it was re - created with a mixture of secondhand clothes and budget high street shops .
[ jill ] met with me long before filming even started ,
said moyes .
she wanted to get inside my head about louisa’s wardrobe .
she got a lot of louisa ' s clothing from thrift shops and charity shops , but mainly from chain stores such as matalan , primark , and tk maxx .
the pair are self - distributing the film , which is showing on a small number of palace screens throughout the country ( foulcher spent seven years working for the company ) , but it is much better than that might suggest . the early reviews have been positive , too , even if many of them have been couched in terms of low expectations exceeded .
but she enjoyed making the film so much she has already started work on adapting some of her other books in the meantime :
i mean , obviously i would always love to do another . in fact , i’ve actually gone on to adapt two more [ of my ] books since i wrote this one because i loved the process so much .
and while she can ' t prove it was down to their being women , moyes did comment on how lovely the set was , potentially as a result .
i’ve got nothing to judge that by because this is my first film production , but what i will say is that i felt the experience on set was very positive . well , i know the crew who i spoke to – you know , lots of grizzled old hands who have been on every film you can imagine – said that it was a particularly happy set . so i don’t know if that’s because we were women or just because it’s thea . i don’t know , because i think those sorts of things come from the head down .

another concern for people who receive a lot of blood transfusions is the safety of the blood they receive . some infections , like hepatitis , can be carried in blood . in the united states , the blood supply is screened and monitored for safety , and the risk of getting an infection from a blood transfusion is very low . nevertheless , there is still a very small risk of getting an infection through a blood transfusion .

acute blood loss may occur as a result of injury , a ruptured blood vessel , or a complication of surgery or childbirth . when a lot of blood is lost within a short time , blood pressure and the amount of oxygen in the body drop suddenly , sometimes leading to heart failure or death . loss of even one third of the body ' s blood volume in the space of several hours can be fatal . gradual blood loss is less threatening , because the body has time to replace rbcs and blood volume .
to test for anemia , a doctor usually orders a complete blood count ( cbc ) . a technician or nurse takes a small sample of blood . the blood is tested for the amount of hemoglobin it contains and the numbers and volume of the different types of blood cells . some of the blood also is smeared onto a slide so that the size of the cells can be measured and the color and shape of the blood can be gauged .

anemia is a blood disorder characterized by abnormally low levels of healthy red blood cells ( rbcs ) or reduced hemoglobin ( hgb ) , the iron - bearing protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to tissues throughout the body . reduced blood cell volume ( hematocrit ) is also considered anemia . the reduction of any or all of the three blood parameters reduces the oxygen - carrying capability of the blood , causing reduced oxygenation of body tissues , a condition called hypoxia .
when we are too hot , blood vessels supplying blood to the skin can swell or dilate ( vasodilation ) . this allows more warm blood to flow near the surface of the skin , where the heat can be lost to the air .
anemia is caused by bleeding , decreased red blood cell production , or increased red blood cell destruction . poor diet can contribute to vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency anemias in which fewer red blood cells are produced . hereditary disorders and certain diseases can cause increased blood cell destruction . however , excessive bleeding is the most common cause of anemia , and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms . chronic blood loss is usually a consequence of :

anemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal , which prevents the body’s cells from getting enough oxygen . hemoglobin is an iron - rich protein that gives blood its red color and lets red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues . therefore , low numbers of red blood cells or low levels of hemoglobin also cause low blood iron levels .

a blood test can often suggest the diagnosis of all . the test will typically show a low number of red blood cells ( erythrocytes ) , normal white blood cells ( leukocytes ) and platelets . the blood test also typically shows a number of abnormal lymphoblasts which are not normally seen in the blood . so , the total white cell count in the blood sample may be high , even though the number of normal white cells is low . further tests are usually done to confirm the diagnosis .
( red blood cells ) . symptoms include weakness , pallor , breathlessness , faintness , palpitations , and lowered resistance to infection . it may be due to a decrease in the production of haemoglobin or red blood cells , excessive destruction of red blood cells , or blood loss . worldwide , iron deficiency is the commonest cause of anaemia .
blood transfusions are not without risk , and must be used carefully . many patients react to the white blood cell antigens by developing a fever . this is so common that patients are routinely premedicated to prevent fever from developing . individuals with long - term transfusion needs , such as patients with leukemia , may be given blood products with a reduced number of white blood cells to reduce the risk of sensitization to transfused blood .

anemia is caused primarily by one of three conditions . the first is bleeding . bleeding results in the loss of red blood cells from the body . the second condition is a decreased rate of red blood cell production . red blood cells are not produced as fast as they die off . the third condition is an increased rate of red blood cell destruction . red blood cells die off faster than they can be replaced by the body .

anemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin ( the component of red blood cells that delivers oxygen to tissues throughout the body ) .
loss of even one - third of the body ' s blood volume in the space of several hours can be fatal . more gradual blood loss is less serious , because the body has time to create new red blood cells to replace those that have been lost .
surgery may be necessary to correct blood losses caused by injury or hemorrhage ( nose bleeds , aneurysm , cerebral hemorrhage , bleeding ulcer ) or childbirth . transfusions of packed red blood cells or whole blood may also be used to replace blood volume and to stimulate the body ' s own production of red blood cells . medication or surgery may also be necessary to control heavy menstrual flow or to remove polyps ( growths or nodules ) from the bowels .
aplastic anemia . aplastic anemia is a serious form of anemia that can lead to death . the body makes too few of all kinds of blood cells : red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets ( pronounced plate - lits ) . platelets are blood cells that help blood to clot . aplastic anemia may be caused by a recent severe illness , long - term exposure to industrial chemicals , and the use of certain types of medication .
ai / acd typically develops slowly and , because it is usually mild , may cause few or no symptoms . sometimes , ai / acd can cause or contribute to fatigue , weakness , pale skin , a fast heartbeat , shortness of breath , and exercise intolerance .
every time a person gets a blood transfusion , their risk for a problem called “alloimmunization” goes up . alloimmunization happens when a person’s body reacts to blood from a transfusion because it is seen as harmful by their immune system , and tries to destroy it . persons with alloimmunization can still receive blood transfusions , but the blood they receive has to be checked and compared to their own blood to make sure that it won’t be destroyed by their immune system . this takes time and can mean that persons with alloimmunization have to wait longer for blood , or may have a harder time finding blood that won’t be destroyed by their body .
anemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin .
anemia is caused by a deficiency in the intake and absorption elements required to make red blood cells . the condition is defined as one in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells , in hemoglobin , or in total volume . this results in blood that is incapable of meeting the oxygen needs of the body ' s tissues . anemia is characterized by changes in the size and color of red blood cells . red blood cells , or erythrocytes , are primarily responsible for oxygen transport from the lungs to the body ' s many cells . hemoglobin is an oxygen - carrying protein in the red blood cell that incorporates iron into its structure . therefore , iron is an essential building block of blood erythrocytes . when red blood cells are larger than normal , the anemia is termed macrocytic , and when they are smaller than normal , it is called microcytic . normal red cell color is termed normochromic , and if the red cells appear pale , the anemia is called hypochromic . when extensive lab testing is not available for diagnosis , the use of a portable colorimeter can be used to detect anemia .

cancer patients with anemia who are undergoing chemotherapy may benefit from this drug . studies have shown an increased hematocrit ( the volume percentage of red blood cells in whole blood ) level and a decreased need for blood transfusions after the first month of therapy in this population . epoetin alfa is injected three times a week , and throughout therapy , blood cell counts are monitored closely .
if the body detects a shortage of red blood cells , the kidneys make a hormone called erythropoietin ( ee - rith - ro - po - ee - tin ) . this protein is secreted into the blood , which then signals the bone marrow to make more red blood cells .
red cells contain a special protein called hemoglobin , which helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled . blood appears red because of the large number of red blood cells , which get their color from the hemoglobin . the percentage of whole blood volume that is made up of red blood cells is called the hematocrit and is a common measure of red blood cell levels .

theories on what happened in old yharnam and on the identity of the blood - starved beast .
the process through which new red blood cells are created ; it begins in the bone marrow .
production of red blood cells is controlled by erythropoietin , a hormone produced primarily by the kidneys . red blood cells start as immature cells in the bone marrow and after approximately seven days of maturation are released into the bloodstream . unlike many other cells , red blood cells have no nucleus and can easily change shape , helping them fit through the various blood vessels in your body . however , while the lack of a nucleus makes a red blood cell more flexible , it also limits the life of the cell as it travels through the smallest blood vessels , damaging the cell ' s membranes and depleting its energy supplies . the red blood cell survives on average only 120 days .
when a child exhibits weakness , dizziness , listlessness , or fatigue , it may be the first sign of anemia . the pediatrician should be consulted if the child is also extremely pale or has little or no color in the gums , nail beds , creases of the palm , or lining of the eyelids . any prolonged bleeding or sudden blood loss requires examination by a physician and testing for anemia .
it could also be that the ashen blood started poisoning everyone in old yharnam and the healing church used a massive amount of blood to counterattack this sickness , making the scourge grow exponentially in the city .
hemolytic anemia is a type of anemia in which the red blood cell has a shortened lifespan ( normal lifespan is 90 - 120 days ) . because the bone marrow is not able to compensate by producing more red blood cells , anemia results . abnormalities in the red blood cells may be intrinsic or may be caused by environmental factors such as auto - antibodies to red blood cells or damage from chemotherapy .
[ 63 ] tamás kende , vérvád ( blood libel ) , budapest 1995 , p . 135–156 .
unlike red and white blood cells , platelets are not actually cells but rather small fragments of cells . platelets help the blood clotting process ( or coagulation ) by gathering at the site of an injury , sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel , and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur . this results in the formation of a fibrin clot , which covers the wound and prevents blood from leaking out . fibrin also forms the initial scaffolding upon which new tissue forms , thus promoting healing .
there are several dozen types of anemia that are categorized by their underlying cause . when doctors test blood for anemia , they often describe the blood by the hemoglobin content of red blood cells ( color ) and by the size and shape of red blood cells . these descriptions can point a doctor toward the underlying disorder . treatment is specific for each type of anemia and is based on treating the underlying disease .
one way to treat anemia is to provide the body with more red blood cells to carry oxygen . this can be done through a blood transfusion , a safe , common procedure in which you receive blood through a small plastic tube inserted into one of your blood vessels . some people with thalassemia – usually with thalassemia major – need regular blood transfusions because their body makes such low amounts of hemoglobin . people with thalassemia intermedia ( not as severe as major , but not as mild as trait ) may need blood transfusions sometimes , such as when they have an infection or an illness . people with thalassemia minor or trait usually do not need blood transfusions because they either do not have anemia or have only a mild anemia .

a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates the production of red blood cells in a process called erythropoiesis .
people with kidney failure can also develop iron deficiency due to blood loss during hemodialysis , a type of dialysis that uses a special filter called a dialyzer to remove wastes from the blood . low levels of iron and folic acid—another nutrient required for normal red blood cell production—may also contribute to anemia in people with kidney disease .
people who lose a lot of blood very quickly , like those who have been injured in an accident , had a blood vessel burst , or have lost blood during surgery , can become anemic because the body cannot make blood as fast as it is being lost . in cases where blood loss is life threatening , a person can have the lost blood replaced through a blood transfusion * . in less severe cases , the body will slowly bring the blood volume and hemoglobin content back to normal by itself . in fact , a person can lose two - thirds of his or her blood volume over a 24 - hour period without dying . other people have a place in their body that is constantly bleeding a little bit , such as a wound in the skin or mucous membranes inside the body ( ulcer ) . in these cases , the source of bleeding needs to be found and treated , and dietary supplements of iron often are needed to help boost hemoglobin production .
other treatments may include antibiotic or antifungal medicines if infection occurs ; blood and platelet transfusions to counter low levels of red blood cells ( erythrocytes ) and platelets ; general supportive measures to overcome side - effects of chemotherapy .
from those tissues back to the lungs . this exchange is enabled by the most important component of red blood cells
anemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal , which prevents the body’s cells from getting enough oxygen .
transfusion - associated graft - versus - host disease ( ta - gvhd ) is another risk factor associated with blood transfusions in cancer patients . although it is very rare , it is often fatal . with ta - gvhd , the patient ' s immune system does not recognize the white blood cells in the donor blood as
nonself .
the donor white blood cells , however , recognize the patient as
nonself ,
and an immune - mediated reaction ensues . to prevent this reaction in at - risk patients , blood may be irradiated prior to transfusion .

anemia ( a - nee - me - a ) is not a disease in itself . instead , it is a sign that the body has a problem with its red blood cells . the blood of a person with anemia does not contain enough red blood cells or enough of the protein hemoglobin ( he - mo - glow - bin ) . anemia can develop because of poor nutrition , excessive blood loss , destruction of red blood cells , abnormal hemoglobin , or from a number of other causes . but no matter what causes anemia , the result is always the same : the blood does not carry enough oxygen to the cells throughout the body , so the body cannot function normally .
since your body has fewer red blood cells when you have thalassemia , you may have symptoms of a low blood count , or anemia . when you have anemia , you might feel tired or weak . you might also experience :
for anemias caused by excessive or chronic bleeding , stopping blood loss is the first step . in some cases , a blood transfusion is used to replenish the volume of blood in the body . for people with dietary causes of anemia , eating a diet rich in the deficient nutrient or taking supplements such as iron or vitamins often fixes the problem .
the best way of diagnosing anemia is with a blood test . a sample of the patient ' s blood is taken with a needle . the sample is then studied under a microscope . the number , size , and shape of red blood cells can then be determined . this information tells whether the patient has anemia and , if so , what kind .
since all these symptoms above can also be caused by other problems , you’ll need a physical examination and blood tests to determine whether you have anemia . sometimes a person may not notice any symptoms , but anemia will be identified by an abnormal result on a routine blood test ( such as a blood test that is part of your annual check - up ) .
the onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual . the deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it gains from food and other sources . because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cells ' needs , fewer red blood cells develop . in this early stage of anemia , the red blood cells look normal , but they are reduced in number . then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells , which are characteristically small in size .
a blood test can often suggest the diagnosis of aml . the test will typically show a low number of red blood cells , normal white blood cells and platelets . some blast cells which have spilled into the bloodstream from the marrow are also usually seen . sometimes large numbers of blast cells occur in the bloodstream . further tests are usually done to confirm the diagnosis .
a chest x - ray , further blood tests and other tests are usually done to assess your general well - being .
a reduction in the quantity of the oxygen - carrying pigment haemoglobin in the blood . the main symptoms are excessive tiredness and fatigability , breathlessness on exertion , pallor , and poor resistance to infection . the many causes of anaemia include loss of blood (
known for their bright red color , red cells are the most abundant cell in the blood , accounting for about 40 to 45 percent of its volume . the shape of a red blood cell is a biconcave disk with a flattened center - in other words , both faces of the disc have shallow bowl - like indentations ( a red blood cell looks like a donut ) .
a complete blood count ( cbc ) test gives your doctor important information about the types and numbers of cells in your blood , especially the red blood cells and their percentage ( hematocrit ) or protein content ( hemoglobin ) , white blood cells , and platelets . the results of a cbc may diagnose conditions like anemia , infection , and other disorders . the platelet count and plasma clotting tests ( prothombin time , partial thromboplastin time , and thrombin time ) may be used to evaluate bleeding and clotting disorders .

hemolytic anemia can enlarge the spleen , accelerating the destruction of red blood cells ( hemolysis ) . other complications of hemolytic anemia include :
anemia of inflammation and chronic disease is caused by red blood cells not functioning normally , so they cannot absorb and use iron efficiently . in addition , the body cannot respond normally to erythropoietin ( epo ) , a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells . over time , this abnormal functioning causes a lower than normal number of red blood cells in the body .
blood cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells and are formed in the bone marrow through the highly regulated process of hematopoiesis . hematopoietic stem cells are capable of transforming into red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . these stem cells can be found circulating in the blood and bone marrow in people of all ages , as well as in the umbilical cords of newborn babies . stem cells from all three sources may be used to treat a variety of diseases , including leukemia , lymphoma , bone marrow failure , and various immune disorders .
you’ve heard the story before : the man’s been throwing his weight around again , muscling people all over town with super - uninteresting beer . enter superfuzz , a one - beer crusade against the oppressive ordinary . he can relate to other ales , with an easygoing blend of northwest pale , munich and dextri - pils malts , but where the hops and the blood orange come in , he’s a complicated guy . worldly german northern brewer and cascade bitter and flavor the beer , but it’s the combination of citra , amarillo and blood orange peel in the finish , topped off with pureed and concentrated blood orange in the fermenter that land the biggest blows . call it orangesploitation , superfuzz is serving notice . starting gravity is 14°p / 1 . 056 , and alcohol a mellow 5 . 3 % by volume .
back then , in 2008 , the vampire myth had been completely defanged by the twilight books and their pale hero , edward cullen—who could conquer his desire for sex or blood or sleep or anything beyond gazing deeply into his girlfriend’s eyes . by contrast , true blood opened with gratuitously explicit sex scenes , then segued into one of the most ricidulously gory bloodbaths in tv history later that season . the characters were all gloriously weird , whether they were vampires , werewolves , faeries , or shapeshifters—never mind whether they were straight , gay , or bisexual . this show didn’t just want you to watch its freak flag fly . it wanted to stake that freak flag through your heart .
take a scene that is one of the film’s most inspired yet least observed moments , the centurion piercing the dead christ’s side with a lance , releasing a flow of blood and water . in other depictions , the blood and water are often shown trickling or oozing down his side . gibson , though , depicts a spray of blood and water gushing from christ’s side and showering down on the startled centurion .
blood consists of red blood cells , white blood cells , platelets , and plasma . red blood cells , or erythrocytes ( e - rith - ro - sites ) , are the most numerous cells in the blood and give blood its red color . the tissues and cells in the body require oxygen to function properly , and erythrocytes are specialized to carry and distribute oxygen because they contain hemoglobin . hemoglobin has the unique property of being able to absorb oxygen in the lungs , where it is plentiful , and release oxygen to the cells of the body , where it is needed . hemoglobin consists of four protein molecules , called globins , and up to four heme molecules . the heme molecules are red - pigmented , nonprotein , iron - binding compounds , and they are responsible for binding to and transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide .
some common symptoms of mild anemia include weakness , fatigue , and a
run - down
feeling . other signs include pale skin and a lack of color in the creases of the palm , gums , nail beds or lining of the eyelids . someone who is weak , tires easily , is often out of breath , and feels faint or dizzy may have severe anemia . other symptoms of anemia include :
acute myeloid leukaemia is where the bone marrow makes large numbers of abnormal immature white blood cells which are derived from a myeloid stem cell .
a common cause of iron - deficiency anemia is chronic blood loss , usually from the gastrointestinal tract . bleeding ulcers or polyps , chronic irritation of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract , or cancer can cause this kind of “silent” internal bleeding . often , this blood loss is invisible to the naked eye , and your healthcare provider may do a simple test , called a fecal occult blood test , to find it .
a molecule found in red blood cells that contains an iron atom and that helps transport oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body .
the most extreme form of treatment in such cases is a bone marrow transplant . all blood cells are made in bone marrow . marrow is a fatty tissue found in the center of bones . people whose bodies make too few red blood cells may need a bone marrow transplant . marrow from a healthy person is injected into the patient ' s bones . if successful , the healthy marrow begins producing red blood cells .
inadequate hydration can cause fatigue , poor appetite , heat intolerance , dizziness , constipation , kidney stones and a dangerous drop in blood pressure .
anemias do not all stem from the same causes . anemia can be the result of injuries , chronic or acute illnesses , complications of surgery or childbirth , metabolic disturbances or deficiencies , and adverse response to drug therapy administered for other conditions . causes may include sudden or ongoing loss of blood , nutritional deficiencies , decreased red blood cell production , or increased red blood cell destruction . malnutrition or malabsorption of nutrients can contribute to vitamin deficiency anemia and iron deficiency anemias . although red cell destruction and replacement is an ongoing process in the body , hereditary disorders and certain diseases can accelerate blood cell destruction , resulting in anemia . however , excessive bleeding is the most common cause of severe anemia , and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms . chronic blood loss may be a consequence of the following :

red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis . when the bone marrow functions normally , it continuously replaces red blood cells to maintain a normal level that allows for adequate oxygenation of the tissues . the hormone erythropoietin stimulates red blood cell production and sends a message to the bone marrow to increase production when oxygen levels in the body are low . this mechanism is often impaired in patients with cancer .
yharnam is a towering , labyrinthine gothic city , home to both the healing church and the blood ministrations . as no evidence of the existence of a ruling body is provided in the game , one may presume that the healing church controls the city ( at least indirectly ) . the church focuses around healing by infusions of blood . miraculously , blood healing can repair wounds and cure or hinder diseases . yharnam ' s whole culture became focused on blood , even to the point of blood - based drinks surpassing alcoholic beverages as the most commonly consumed . yharnam ' s populace is apparently viewed as insane or degenerate by the wider world , and the citizens have become extremely distrustful of non - natives as a result .
i believe this happens many years in the future , the blood minister appears in the city , creating hunters for the hunter ' s dream .
aplastic anemia . sometimes curable by bone marrow transplant , but potentially fatal , aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets ( disc - shaped cells that allow the blood to clot ) . this disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of :
sickle cell anemia . sickle cell anemia ( see sickle cell anemia entry ) is a genetic disorder . cells receive genes that give them the wrong instructions for making red blood cells . red blood cells are normally shaped like plump doughnuts . in sickle cell anemia , the cells are curved with sharp points . these cells easily stick to each other . they also stick to the walls of blood vessels . clumps of sickled red blood cells can collect in a vein or artery and block it . this condition can cause pain , weakness , and , in extreme cases , death .
sometimes curable by bone marrow transplant , but potentially fatal , aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets ( disc - shaped cells that are a key component of blood coagulation ) . this disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of the following :
it’s certainly a relief to see an attempt at the grotesque reality of violent death rather than the diluted depictions of some film portrayals . but , again , with all due respect to catholicism , there has in the past and to an extent still is a virtual blood cult within it . the medieval church was obsessed with gore , and even today in southern europe we see quite repugnant fetishes with sacred blood , holy blood , miracle - giving blood . if it’s european medievalism we’re seeing rather than death - dry , god - drenched ancient judea , we could be in trouble .

a cbc result that shows low iron levels in the blood yet normal measures of iron stores in the body is a hallmark of ai / acd .
iron deficiency anemia . the onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual and , at first , there may not be any symptoms . the deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it derives from food and other sources . because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cell ' s needs , fewer red blood cells develop . in this early stage of anemia , the red blood cells look normal , but they are reduced in number . then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells , which are characteristically small in size . symptoms develop at this stage .

patients with thalassemia usually do not require treatment . however people with a severe form may require periodic hospitalization for blood transfusions and / or bone marrow transplantation .
anemias caused by a decreased production of red blood cells are also called hypoplastic anemias , and many different conditions and disorders can cause this kind of anemia .
ai / acd is easily confused with iron - deficiency anemia because in both forms of anemia levels of iron circulating in the blood are low . iron in the body is found both circulating in the blood and stored in body tissues . circulating iron is necessary for red blood cell production . low blood iron levels occur in iron - deficiency anemia because levels of the iron stored in the body’s tissues are depleted . in ai / acd , however , iron stores are normal or high . low blood iron levels occur in ai / acd , despite normal iron stores , because inflammatory and chronic diseases interfere with the body’s ability to use stored iron and absorb iron from the diet . ai / acd is the second most common form of anemia , after iron - deficiency anemia . 1
cytomegalovirus ( cmv ) is a virus that may be present in blood products . although it has no effect on individuals with normally functioning immune systems , cancer patients often have a diminished ability to fight infection . these patients may be at risk for cmv if they are cmv negative and receive cmv - positive blood .
blood clotting problems . this is due to low levels of platelets . this can cause easy bruising , bleeding from the gums and other bleeding - related problems .
children with aplastic anemia are especially susceptible to infection . treatment for aplastic anemia may involve blood transfusions and bone marrow transplantation to replace malfunctioning cells with healthy ones .
more serious forms of anemia may require surgery . bleeding ulcers and certain types of stomach disorders are examples of anemias that may be treated surgically . in some cases , blood transfusions may be required . people who have lost large numbers of red blood cells may require a transfusion in order to avoid serious complications of anemia .
there are three broad categories of causes of anemia . first , when someone is injured and loses a great deal of blood , anemia can develop because the body
s total blood volume is lost faster than it can be replaced . in the second category , the process of making red blood cells in the body is not working normally : bone marrow does not make enough erythrocytes , the erythrocytes do not contain enough hemoglobin , or the hemoglobin does not function correctly . in the third category , red blood cells are destroyed faster than the marrow can replenish them . some of the most common types of anemia in each category are described below .
