He then fastens his teeth in Tigerclaw's throat, calling for Bluestar to help hold the traitor down. Fireheart sees the deputy slip on a splash of blood, and seizes the opportunity to slice the dark tabby's belly open. They tussle together in the den, and Tigerclaw taunts that he's a kittypet, and aims a blow at the ginger warrior. Fireheart feels oddly free in spite of this, and summons every scrap of skill he possesses because now every secret was in the open - which only left the clean danger of battle. Tigerclaw releases his grip on Bluestar and growls that he's going to flay the ginger warrior. Fireheart yowls at the dark tabby that he's a traitor, and flings himself at the deputy. He sees that Tigerclaw has the ThunderClan leader pinned down, and although the blue-gray she-cat fights back, she is unable to break free.

However, for reasons not well understood, these patients are more likely to be affected by thromboembolic complications, renal papillary necrosis and retinopathy.

Despite being characterized by the same point mutation, the clinical course of SCD is extremely variable, ranging from mild to very severe depending on the different genotypes. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a single point mutation at the sixth position in the β-globin chain that substitutes the amino acid valine for glutamic acid resulting in sickle hemoglobin (Hb S). ![]() ![]() ![]() I actually have a few pages with post-its on them. Overall, the tools and strategies she gave were fine. ![]() I believe she based most of her observations on experience, this is not to be diminished, but the book lacked scientific support. Some of it is from psycho-pop online articles and there's even one reference from a LinkedIn post. There's 24 references in total for her whole book and very few are scientific articles.
