“…When first discovered by Lehmann and Cutbush [1], and subsequently confirmed by Buchi [2], the sickle cell trait was considered to be localized in certain isolated pockets in south India [3], but in fact sickle cell trait is more prevalent, estimated around 5% worldwide [4].…”

“…50 Inner blocks in dealing with traumatizing events affect "the intergenerational mental structure", "since the generations do not pass the time allocated to them in isolation." 51 Experiences that have not been adapted will eventually come to the surface "behind the backs of the subjects" (as Hegel put it) -and affect the next generation. The medical scientists were surprised by the outcome of their research: even in the third generation, people whose grandparents remembered traumatic war experiences needed psychiatric treatment more frequently.…”

How are wars, their course and conduct, influenced by human and natural environments?Furthermore, there has long been a manifest complaint about the devastation of war, for example in Europe in relation to the Thirty Years' War. However, a more systematic approach to the consequences of the war did not emerge until much later. With a view to the destruction of the human environment, especially since the First World War, in relation to the natural environment, not before the 1950s, initially in the context of the debates on the consequences of the nuclear winter. The first historical war in which a specific combination of peace research and pacifism combined with modern scientific methods was the American War in Indochina and the resulting damage to human and natural environments deliberately caused by the USA. These approaches were then further elaborated in the analysis of the Second Gulf War. The result is a current state of research that has put the actions of the most warlike nation of the second half of the 20th century, the USA, at the centre of attention, particularly in the field of the destruction of nature. How can we understand war as a human-natural interaction system?This approach begins to prevail only in recent years and it is based on system theory and on adoptions of ecological concepts on war. The basic idea of an ecology of war puts Micah Muscolino very well. I quote from him: "Environmental factors mold the experience of war for soldiers and civilians alike, while war and militarization transform people's relationships with the environment in enduring ways." 3 This means that, especially under the conditions of total war, complex war-landscapes emerge, which -compared to times of peace -are based on completely different relationships of mankind to the natural and manmade environment. Or vice versa: that natural and man-made environments predispose human behaviour in a different way than is the case in peacetime. The war, as Kurt Lewin had already recognized in 1917, 2.3.

“…Thus, to be useful for the purposes of planning for genetic counseling, control programs, clinical service provision or genetic epidemiological studies, screening must generate prevalence estimates of the b S gene in each ethnic group. Previous studies in India have shown a sickle cell trait prevalence ranging from 1.9 to 33.5% in various communities (2,11,23,34).…”

“…Variations in the prevalence of the b S gene have been reported in various Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) within different regions throughout India. There have been several previous studies on community screening in different communities for the b S gene but the number of individuals studied have been few; some studies have been hospital-based and the methodology used has not been uniform (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). While sickle cell disease is common among many different ethnic groups, high prevalence has been reported in three historically disadvantaged ethnic categories: the SC, the ST and Other Backward Class (OBC) groups in India .…”

Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder of the blood, and characterized by vasoocclusive crises (VOC), risks for pneumococcal infections and organ toxicities, is associated with morbidity and premature mortality. India, with a population of 1.2 billion individuals, is estimated to be home to over 50.0% of the world's patients with sickle cell disease. The β(S) gene [β6(A3)Glu→Val; HBB: c.20A>T] has the highest prevalence in three socio-economically disadvantaged ethnic categories: the Scheduled Castes (SC), the Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Class (OBC) groups in India. The tradition of endogamy practiced by the ethnic groups in India provides the rationale for the screening of individual populations to better understand the distribution of the β(S) gene, guide counseling and awareness programs and aid development of public policy. We undertook a study to describe the prevalence of the β(S) gene in these ethnic groups in the district of Nagpur, Maharashtra in Central India. Through community screening and subsequent targeted screening of high risk individuals, 35,636 individuals were screened, of whom 5466 were found to have sickle cell trait and 1010 were identified with sickle cell disease. Community screening revealed a sickle cell trait prevalence of 13.0% in the SC, 12.0% in the ST and 3.4% in the OBC population. This study describes the prevalence of the β(S) gene within these groups in Central India determined by large scale community screening. This program has uncovered previously undiagnosed cases, provided detailed information to guide population-based disease counseling, prevention and comprehensive care programs.
