Measurement of patient skin dose and establishment of local diagnostic reference levels for interventional cardiology procedures

Radiation Protection and Environment, 2019
Use of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is an important tool for patient dose optimization in interventional radiology. DRLs are normally expressed in terms of kerma-area product (Pka). However, no direct method is available to estimate the probability

Molecular Methods for Rare Hemoglobinopathy Cases: First Brazilian Report of Pediatric Siblings with Hb O‐Arab and Alpha‐Thalassemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemoglobinopathies are prevalent globally; diagnosis is complex in high genetic admixture populations like Brazil. We report, in two pediatric siblings, the first documented cases in Brazil of heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) O‐Arab with coinheritance of α‐thalassemia (αα/−α4.2; −α3.7/−α4.2), resulting in microcytic and hypochromic anemia ...
