Zinc Status in Beta Thalassemia Major Patients

Biological Trace Element Research, 2017
Beta thalassemia is a common monogenic hereditary hemoglobinopathy which is associated with compound complications. Zinc deficiency, which is commonly observed in thalassemia patients, is also associated with multiple health complications. The objective of this study was to determine the zinc status and its effect on the growth and immune functions of ...

Clinical management of [beta ]-thalassemia major

Seminars in Hematology, 2001
Management of patients with beta-thalassemia is based on adequate, safe blood transfusions (free of transfusion-transmitted diseases) and prevention of iron overload. Iron overload causes multiple endocrinopathies, contributes to osteoporosis, and is the cause of cardiac disease.

Polyneuropathy and myopathy in beta-thalassemia major patients

Annals of Hematology, 2018
The thalassemias are the most common single gene disorder in the world. Nowadays, the average life expectancy of patients in developed countries has increased significantly, while, there was an increase of complications. We aimed to investigate peripheral neuropathy and myopathy in this patient group using a neurophysiological study. We performed nerve

MR imaging of spleen in beta-thalassemia major

Abdominal Imaging, 2006
Splenomegaly and splenic siderosis are well-known findings in beta-thalassemia major. We explored the relation between splenic size, splenic and hepatic siderosis in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemic patients, assessed by MR imaging.Abdominal MR imaging studies of 47 consecutive thalassemic patients and 10 healthy subjects, used as controls, were ...

Cardiac involvement in beta-thalassemia major and beta-thalassemia intermedia.

Hemoglobin, 2005
The forms and severity of cardiac complications were investigated in patients with asymptomatic thalassemia intermedia and thalassemia major by M-mode, bi-dimensional echocardiography (ECHO) and echo-Doppler. Twenty-eight patients of both sexes with beta-thalassemia intermedia (beta-TI), mean age 23.2 +/- 6.3 years, untransfused or minimally transfused,

[Dermatoglyphics in beta-thalassemia major].

Genetika, 1976
The features of dermatoglyphics in 39 children with beta-thalassemia major and in 47 their parents are studied. The control were 70 healthy children. The patients with beta-thalassemia had more often the prevailence of whorls over other finger patterns. There was an increase of the "atd" angle and some increase in the ridge of counts.

[Platyspondylisis+ in beta-thalassemia major].

La Radiologia medica, 1993
Platyspondylia was observed in 14 patients affected with thalassemia major (7 males and 7 females, age range: 10-18 years) who received an intensive transfusion regimen combined with continuous chelation therapy (desferrioxamine: 50-80 mg/kg daily). Height/width ratio was decreased at all the investigated tracts--i.e., cervical and/or dorsal and/or ...

[Osteopenia in beta-thalassemia major].

Schweizerische medizinische Wochenschrift, 1997
Regular blood transfusions in patients with beta-thalassaemia major lead to secondary hemochromatosis in the majority of cases. As a consequence of chronic iron overload, many endocrinopathies may occur. The most frequent endocrine dysfunction is hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, which is mainly responsible for osteopenia in as much as 80% of thalassemic ...
