Hematologic and hemorheological determinants of resting and exercise-induced hemoglobin oxygen desaturation in children with sickle cell disease

Haematologica, 2013
The aim of the study was to determine the factors associated with resting and exercise-induced hemoglobin oxygen desaturation. The well-established six-minute walk test was conducted in 107 sickle cell children (50 with sickle hemoglobin C disease and 57

Candidate sequence variants and fetal hemoglobin in children with sickle cell disease treated with hydroxyurea. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Fetal hemoglobin level is a heritable complex trait that strongly correlates swith the clinical severity of sickle cell disease. Only few genetic loci have been identified as robustly associated with fetal hemoglobin in patients with sickle cell disease,

Study on HemoTypeSC™ test for the rapid screening of sickle cell disease patients in Government Medical College and Hospital, Ambikapur

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle cell anemia, is a dangerous disease in which the body produces an abnormal form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout the body. The body produces sickle-

Nutritional status, hospitalization and mortality among patients with sickle cell anemia in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Reduced growth is common in children with sickle cell anemia, but few data exist on associations with long-term clinical course. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition at enrollment into a hospital-based cohort and ...

Perspective: A novel prognostic for sickle cell disease

Saudi Journal of Medicine and Medical Sciences, 2018
Sickle hemoglobin (α2βS2) polymerization drives disease pathophysiology in sickle cell anemia. Fetal hemoglobin (α2γ2) restricts disease severity by inhibiting the polymerization of sickle hemoglobin in a concentration-dependent manner. Clinical decision-

The Growth of Sickle Hemoglobin Polymers [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2011
The measurement of polymer growth is an essential element in characterization of assembly. We have developed a precise method of measuring the growth of sickle hemoglobin polymers by observing the time required for polymers to traverse a photolytically produced channel between a region in which polymers are created and a detection region.

Measuring forces between protein fibers by microscopy [PDF]

, 2005
We propose a general scheme for measuring the attraction between mechanically frustrated semiflexible fibers by measuring their thermal fluctuations and shape.

Genetic association of fetal-hemoglobin levels in individuals with sickle cell disease in Tanzania maps to conserved regulatory elements within the MYB core enhancer. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Common genetic variants residing near upstream regulatory elements for MYB, the gene encoding transcription factor cMYB, promote the persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) into adulthood. While they have no consequences in healthy individuals,

Targeting sickle cell disease root-cause pathophysiology with small molecules

Haematologica, 2019
The complex, frequently devastating, multi-organ pathophysiology of sickle cell disease has a single root cause: polymerization of deoxygenated sickle hemoglobin.
