Metformin induces FOXO3-dependent fetal hemoglobin production in human primary erythroid cells.

Blood, 2016
Induction of red blood cell (RBC) fetal hemoglobin (HbF; α2γ2) ameliorates the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD) by reducing the concentration of sickle hemoglobin (HbS; α2βS2) to inhibit its polymerization.

Magnetically Controlled Reversible Photomagnetic Nanoactuators for Dynamic Contrast Enhancement in Optical Coherence Tomography

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Photomagnetic nanoactuators with ≈90% scattering efficiency in the second near‐infrared window are demonstrated to exhibit magnetic field‐controlled modulation of optical scattering and optical coherence tomography signals. These nanoactuators are reversibly assembled and disassembled under the external magnetic field modulation, enabling enhanced ...

Bioinspired Smart Nanogels for Rapid Blue Laser‐Activated Hemostasis in Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Waxberry‐inspired branched‐silica nanogel can swiftly stop bleeding upon blue laser endoscopy for gastrointestinal hemostasis in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum of mini‐pigs. Abstract Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a critical condition that requires rapid and effective intervention.

Diagnóstico não invasivo da anemia fetal pela medida do pico de velocidade sistólica na dopplervelocimetria da artéria cerebral média Noninvasive fetal anemia diagnosis by middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity waveform measurement

Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2004
OBJETIVO: avaliar se existe associação entre a medida do pico de velocidade sistólica (PVS) na dopplervelocimetria da artéria cerebral média (ACM) e a concentração de hemoglobina fetal e determinar a sua capacidade diagnóstica.

Optimal villi density for maximal oxygen uptake in the human placenta

, 2015
We present a stream-tube model of oxygen exchange inside a human placenta functional unit (a placentone). The effect of villi density on oxygen transfer efficiency is assessed by numerically solving the diffusion-convection equation in a 2D+1D geometry ...

Improved Fetal Hemoglobin With mTOR Inhibitor–Based Immunosuppression in a Kidney Transplant Recipient With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Transplantation, 2017
Fetal hemoglobin induction is a key point in the management of sickle cell disease (SCD). We report the case of a kidney transplant recipient with SCD who was treated with everolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor.
