Canadians, . "The history of hemophilia." . N.p., 2011. Web. 5 Dec 2011.  <http://www.hemophilia.ca/en/bleeding-disorders/hemophilia-a-and-b/the-history-of- hemophilia/>.

I used this site for the history of hemophilia. Although other sources also contributed history facts, this was my primary source for piecing together the history of hemophilia. It is credible source because it is from an organization well versed with hemophilia. The Canadian Hemophilia Society is an official program designed to create a support group for hemophiliacs and gain support for the advancement of research for a better future for them. Both reliable and informative.

​

This source is reliable and useful. It provided a section on what the disease is and who's at risk. In addition this source represented a group that was doing research into hemophilia and provided me with examples of strategies being researched to tackle the disease. A couple of specific facts I used from this website include, one in 10,000 people in the united states are diagnosed each  year with hemophilia, and that the this rare disorder affects people of all races, colors and ethnic origins. This website is reliable because it is an accredit research center and an organization, rather then a commercially owned website.

This source provided information on hemophilia and blood. It explained platelets and how they are involved in the clotting process. It also provided a basic description of what hemophilia is.  Relatively Basic information but provides clear and straightforward wording. Used in understanding how coagulation works. A credible source that went through a lot of editors and the Student HandBook series of books is designed to provide accurate and thorough information on a wide range of subjects.

This in depth newspaper article created the foundation for my essay. It provided in depth information about all the major aspects of hemophilia. I used the coagulation cascade information, the mutation of hemophilia, and the location of the genes for both hemophilia A and B. Proquest is a database that has identified this article as a scholarly piece of work.

This Ebook provided me with figure 1 in addition to information about Hemophilia's early existence, Queen Victoria and hemophilia's new label, the “royal disease” and treatments of the disease, such as fractionation of human plasma and transfusions. This book is from Ebooks but is also a published piece of work that is designed to provide indepth and factual information.
