ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) may influence malaria susceptibility and clinical outcomes in endemic regions. However, the interaction between hemoglobin genotypes and malaria severity remain poorly defined in endemic African settings, particulary in Angola, where SCA and malaria impose a substantial public health burden.

Cerebral Blood Transit in Sickle Cell Anemia. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients upregulate cerebral blood flow to compensate for decreased arterial oxygen content. Such hyperemic conditions can manifest as venous hyperintense signal on arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI, which may reflect faster capillary blood transit, altered oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and infarct risk ...

Association of Three HIF‐1α Genotypes With Susceptibility and Severity of Chronic Kidney Disease
ABSTRACT Hypoxic signaling is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Hypoxia‐Inducible Factor 1 (HIF‐1) is a transcription factor that is highly expressed in the kidney and is associated with renal tubular hypoxic adaptation. Variation in the HIF‐1α subunit gene has been associated with renal pathologies.

ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic and life‐limiting hemoglobin and systemic vascular disease. While over 1000 people have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) over the last 40 years, long‐term disease‐specific and health‐related quality of life data are lacking.

Health Literacy, Self‐Efficacy and Knowledge of Sickle Cell Disease Among Caregivers
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin leads to severe anaemia, painful crises and organ failure. Caregivers’ health literacy (HL) – their ability to assess, understand and apply information, and interact with healthcare professionals – is crucial for managing children with SCD, yet ...

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...
