Leukemia

· Cause: Associated with genetic, chromosomal, and environmental factors.

· Genetic: Town syndrome, Bloom Syndrome, Klinefelter Syndrome
Leuk = white; Kline-felter = clean filter --> what is white? A clean filter.
Or: A Kline Town with Blooms IN WHITE. – A clean town with white blooms (flowers).

· Chromosomal abnormalities: Philadelphia chromosome t(9;22)​
~Again~ Leuk = white --> Philadelphia cheese is a white cheese. Yummm..

· Viruses: HTLV-1 (Human T-lymphotropic virus 1)​
You Leuk HT-LV = you look HOT, LOVE!

Hypothyroidism:

· Clinical Signs and Symptoms: low body temperature, lethargy (low energy level), bradycardia, failure of tooth eruption, thickened lips, swelling in the face and extremities and enlarged tongue.
Everything is LOW, SLOW, and SWOLLEN.
