Brain perfusion changes in beta-thalassemia. [PDF]
Abstract Background Brain injury in hereditary hemoglobinopathies is commonly attributed to anemia-related relative hypoperfusion in terms of impaired oxygen blood supply. Supratentorial and infratentorial vascular watershed regions seem to be especially vulnerable, but data are very scarce.

Genetic Study for Identifying Beta Thalassemia Trait in Relatives of Children with Beta Thalassemia Major. [PDF]
The most common inherited illness, thalassemia, is thought to have a detrimental effect on public health, particularly in endemic areas. Children with beta thalassemia disease have several mutations. Prevention and premarital examination are still the most effective measures to lessen the burden of beta thalassemia.This study primarily aimed to ...

.BETA.+-Thalassemia with Hemochromatosis.
A 64-year-old man was admitted due to ascites. Laboratory data showed hemoglobin 6.7 g/dl, mean corpuscular volume 82 fl, and ferritin 2,360 ng/ml. Liver biopsy showed hemochromatosis. The diagnosis of beta-thalassemia was suggested by a decreased ratio of beta/alpha-globin synthesis in vitro (0.26).
