Heterozygous Beta‐Thalassaemia in Pregnancy: Two Rare Causes of Severe Fetal Anemia Requiring Intrauterine Blood Transfusions

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In this article, we present two cases of severe fetal hemolytic anemia based on a beta‐thalassaemia trait inherited from a single parent. Results These cases, presented at 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, necessitated intra‐uterine blood transfusions.

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Neutrophil extracellular traps induced by activated platelets as a cause of neutrophil–platelet aggregation in β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Abnormal neutrophils and platelets in splenectomised β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E (HbE) disease contribute to neutrophil–platelet aggregation, leading to a high risk of thrombus formation. Activated platelets induce neutrophils to generate neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) via the P‐selectin–P‐selectin glycoprotein ligand‐1 (PSGL1) pathway, which ...

Red lines and green lights: Gene therapy for inherited erythroid disorders beyond the haemoglobinopathies

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Gene therapy is revolutionizing treatment paradigms for haemoglobinopathies, establishing a translational framework for disorders that impact red blood cell development. In their paper, Joshi et al. describe the preclinical and early clinical landscape of gene therapies for non‐haemoglobinopathy erythroid disorders and highlight common thematic ...

Optimising Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Enhancing Myeloablation Sensitivity and Alleviating Anaemia Using Roxadustat (FG‐4592)

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The use of FG‐4592 in the process of myeloablation can promote haematopoietic cell apoptosis for more effective myeloablation, maintain the number of RBC and may create a pluripotent microenvironment suitable for donor cells, so as to enable more effective haematopoietic reconstruction of donor cells in vivo.

Discriminant Value of %Microcytic Cells/%Hypochromic Cells Ratio in the Differential Diagnosis of Microcytic Anemia [PDF]

, 2020
The Mindray 6800 Plus analyzer reports red cells (RBC) extended parameters, which represent the subsets of erythrocytes. We aimed to evaluate the reliability of RBC extended parameters in the differential diagnosis of microcytic anemia.
