BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency is not common in thalassemia minor and nontransfusion dependent hemoglobinophaties. The majority of these patients have normal-to-high serum ferritin. OBJECTIVES: The aims of the study were to evaluate serum ferritin levels in

Adaptive Functioning and Psychosocial Problems in Children with Beta Thalassemia Major
BACKGROUND: Beta thalassemia major is considered one of the serious health problems and the commonest hemoglobinopathy in Egypt that creates a burden not only on health system but also on the affected families and children who become vulnerable to ...

Dysregulated proteolysis mediated by kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLKs) and iron overload are involved in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Deferasirox, an clinically‐approved iron chelator, and its newly synthesized derivatives have been identified as inhibitors of major central nervous system KLKs with low cytotoxicity and effective ...

Hospitalization causes due to iron overload in beta-Thalassemia in Gorgan, Iran [PDF]
Objective: To evaluate causes of hospitalization (due to complications of iron overload and other causes) in beta-Thalassemic patients. Methodology: This study was performed on 244 patients with major beta-Thalassemia admitted in Taleghani hospital of ...

Identification of erythroferrone as an erythroid regulator of iron metabolism. [PDF]
Recovery from blood loss requires a greatly enhanced supply of iron to support expanded erythropoiesis. After hemorrhage, suppression of the iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin allows increased iron absorption and mobilization from stores.

Impact of the quenching of $g_{\rm A}$ on the sensitivity of $0νββ$ experiments [PDF]
Detection of the neutrinoless $\beta\beta$ ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay is of high priority in the particle- and neutrino-physics communities. The detectability of this decay mode is strongly influenced by the value of the weak axial-vector coupling constant $g_{\rm A}$.

Abstract Disruption of extracellular pH and proton‐sensing can profoundly impact cellular and protein functions, leading to developmental defects. To visualize changes in extracellular pH in the developing embryo, we generated a zebrafish transgenic line that ubiquitously expresses the ratiometric pH‐sensitive fluorescent protein pHluorin2, tethered to

Minihepcidins are rationally designed small peptides that mimic hepcidin activity in mice and may be useful for the treatment of iron overload [PDF]
Iron overload is the hallmark of hereditary hemochromatosis and a complication of iron-loading anemias such as β-thalassemia. Treatment can be burdensome and have significant side effects, and new therapeutic options are needed.
