ABSTRACT Background and Aims The polymerization of deoxygenated hemoglobin S, resulting from a genetic mutation in sickle cell disease (SCD), leads to damage in multiple organs, including renal, cardiopulmonary, and cerebrovascular systems. The liver is also commonly affected, resulting in “sickle cell liver disease,” which may lead to progressive ...

Development of a Clinical Severity Score for Indian Sickle Cell Anaemia Patients
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is a monogenic disorder but shows variable disease severity. We evaluated the utility of paediatric severity scores (PSS) in Indian patients and developed two modified scores: Indian Severity Score 1 (ISS1) by adding four clinical parameters to PSS, and ISS2 by excluding four biochemical measures from ISS1.

Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Velocity Measurements in Children With Sickle Cell Disease in Kenya
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited haemoglobinopathy and poses a high public health burden in Sub‐Saharan Africa. Children with sickle cell anaemia are at a highrisk of ischemic stroke, and transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography helps identify those at highest risk for primary stroke prevention.

ABSTRACT Aim Cognitive deficits are commonly reported in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Dietary micronutrient intake is a potential modifiable risk factor whose relationship with cognition in SCD patients remains poorly characterised. This study aimed to determine the association between dietary micronutrient intake and cognition among these ...

Growth of Oxygen Environment of the Newborn Vocal Fold Maculae Flavae as a Stem Cell Niche
ABSTRACT Objectives Accumulating evidence indicates that the anterior and posterior maculae flavae of the human vocal fold mucosa function as niches for tissue stem cells. This study aimed to characterize the oxygen microenvironment of the maculae flavae in the newborn vocal fold and to clarify its potential involvement in metabolic regulation and the ...
