FIGO consensus guidelines on intrapartum fetal monitoring: Cardiotocography [PDF]
Intermittent auscultation is the technique used to listen to the fetal heart rate (FHR) for short periods of time without a display of the resulting pattern.

Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is characterized by increased levels of Hb F during adult life. Nondeletional forms of HPFH are characterized by single base mutations in the Aγ and Gγ promoters, resulting in an increase of Hb F ranging ...

Association of HMIP1 C-893A polymorphism and disease severity in patients with sickle cell anemia
Introduction: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a Mendelian disorder with a heterogeneous clinical course. The reasons for this phenotypic diversity are not entirely established, but it is known that high fetal hemoglobin levels lead to a milder course of the ...

Hydroxyurea therapy requires HbF induction for clinical benefit in a sickle cell mouse model
Hydroxyurea has proven clinical efficacy in patients with sickle cell disease. Potential mechanisms for the beneficial effects include fetal hemoglobin induction and the reduction of cell adhesive properties, inflammation and hypercoagulability.

Metabolic persistence of fetal hemoglobin [PDF]
Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) has typically been ascribed to mutations in the beta-globin gene cluster. Pharmacologic agents, including the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, have been shown to upregulate fetal and embryonic globin gene expression. In this report we investigate the possibility that metabolic derangements characterized

What influences Hb fetal production in adulthood?
Human hemoglobin genes are located in α and β globin gene clusters in chromosomes 16 and 11, respectively. Different types of hemoglobin are synthesized according to the stage of development with fetal hemoglobin (α2γ2) (Hb F) being ...

Evaluation of a portable hemoglobin photometer in pregnant women in a high altitude area: a pilot study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Anemia is a widespread public health problem associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in pregnant women. This study examined the agreement between a portable hemoglobin photometer and a laboratory analyzer in ...

This review summarizes the transcription factors, repressive chromatin‐modifying complexes, and epigenetic mechanisms that control fetal hemoglobin repression. Notably, many regulators of γ‐globin silencing also function in transcriptional and epigenetic networks that drive cancer, highlighting opportunities to translate advances in hemoglobinopathy ...

Haematological Characterisation and Molecular Basis of Asian Indian Inversion Deletions Delta Beta Thalassemia: A Case Report [PDF]
The hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and delta beta thalassemia are heterogeneous disorders characterised by increased levels of fetal hemoglobin and high level of this Hb continues in adulthood.

Hemoglobinopathies, such as β-thalassemia, and sickle cell disease (SCD) are caused by abnormal structure or reduced production of β-chains and affect millions of people worldwide. Hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is a condition which is
