Costs of Treating Uncomplicated Sickle Cell Complications in a Day Hospital Setting in Equatorial Africa. [PDF]
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a major public health concern in Africa. SCD healthcare expenses are covered by personal finances in the Congo due to the absence of universal public health insurance. Various strategies have been implemented to minimize this economic burden, including an outpatient management strategy. The present study evaluated the costs

Summary Data on acute chest syndrome (ACS) in adult sickle cell disease patients are scarce. In this study, we describe 105 consecutive ACS episodes in 81 adult patients during a 32‐month period and compare the characteristics as a function of the time to onset after hospital admission for a vaso‐occlusive crisis (VOC), that is early‐onset episodes ...

Summary Hypoxia‐mediated red blood cell (RBC) sickling is central to the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). The signalling nucleoside adenosine is thought to play a significant role in this process. This study investigated expression of the erythrocyte type 1 equilibrative nucleoside transporter (ENT1), a key regulator of plasma adenosine ...

Plasma levels of E‐selectin are associated with retinopathy in sickle cell disease
Abstract Background The vascular endothelium is markedly disrupted in sickle cell disease (SCD) and is the converging cascade of the complex pathophysiologic processes linked to sickle cell vasculopathy. Circulating endothelial activation and/or apoptotic markers may reflect this endothelial activation/damage that contributes to the pathophysiology of ...
