Solution and Explanation

- Erythropoietin treats anemia (stimulates red blood cell production).
- Asthma is treated with Omalizumab (anti-IgE antibody). 
- Tissue plasminogen activator treats stroke or heart attack (dissolves blood clots). 
- Emphysema is treated with Alpha-1 antitrypsin (prevents lung tissue breakdown).
