Cerebral Blood Transit in Sickle Cell Anemia

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients upregulate cerebral blood flow to compensate for decreased arterial oxygen content. Such hyperemic conditions can manifest as venous hyperintense signal on arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI, which may reflect faster capillary blood transit, altered oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and infarct risk ...

SURMOUNT‐REAL UK: A Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of Tirzepatide in Adults With Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SURMOUNT‐REAL UK will evaluate the effectiveness of tirzepatide when offered in addition to standard‐of‐care (SoC) in adults with Class I obesity (BMI ≥ 30 and ≤ 34.9 kg/m2) and without diabetes in a UK primary care setting. Methods A 5‐year, phase 4, multicenter, open‐label, pragmatic randomized clinical trial is enabled through ...

Prenatal Exome Sequencing Identifies Dual Maternal‐Fetal Diagnosis of HbF Mission Bay, a Novel HBG2 Variant Associated With Methemoglobinemia, Hypoxia and Hemolytic Anemia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.

Attitudes Toward Prenatal Interventions in the Fanconi Anemia Community

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective In‐utero cell and gene therapies may offer prenatal treatment options for inherited diseases. Preclinical data suggests in‐utero (IU) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) could prevent Fanconi anemia (FA) related bone marrow failure without genotoxic conditioning or immune suppression.

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...
