Lack of mortality in 22 children with sickle cell anemia and severe malarial anemia [PDF]
Retrospective studies suggest that there is high mortality in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and severe malaria. We assessed mortality in Ugandan children with severe malarial anemia (SMA, n = 232) or cerebral malaria (CM, n = 267) by sickle cell

Studies on the Hemoglobin of Cooley's Anemia and Cooley's Trait [PDF]
The diseases sickle cell anemia and Cooley's anemia (also known as thalassemia or Mediterranean anemia) have associated with them "minor" or "trait" forms of the disease in which the symptomatology is minimal, and the abnormalities in the red cells are ...

Exertional sickling: Questions and controversy [PDF]
Sickle cell trait (SCT) occurs in about 8% of African-Americans and is often described to be of little clinical consequence. Over time, a number of risks have emerged, and among these are rare but catastrophic episodes of sudden death in athletes and ...

Discovery of a Novel DNMT1 Inhibitor with Improved Efficacy in Treating β‐Thalassemia
Context of Research: β‐thalassemia affects millions worldwide. DNMT inhibitors are effective HbF‐inducers that benefit patients with β‐thalassemia. Existing DNMT inhibitors are not approved for β‐thalassemia treatment due to dose‐limiting toxicity.What We Find: DMT207 traps DNMT1 into helix‐kinked inactive conformation and enhances its interaction with

Pulmonary hypertension in adolescents with sickle cell disease [PDF]
Sickle cell disease consists of a group of disorders that have a similar mutation in at least one of the beta-globin chains of hemoglobin. This results in a change of the hemoglobin to sickle shaped cells when in the deoxygenated state.

Expression of Regulatory Platelet MicroRNAs in Patients with Sickle Cell Disease [PDF]
Background: Increased platelet activation in sickle cell disease (SCD) contributes to a state of hypercoagulability and confers a risk of thromboembolic complications.

ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common severe complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). In recent years, a major role of inflammation and innate immunity has been evidenced, but ACS pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, and therapeutic options are limited.

The Fabulous Impact of CRISPR Method in Sickle Cell Disease Treatment
Sickle cell diseases are the most prevalent monogenic blood diseases with complications such as severe end-organ harm, pain, and reduced life expectancy. Dealing options for sickle cell diseases are inadequate, as there are just two FDA-approved drugs to

Synthesis and Screen of a Proline-Rich Combinatorial Library Towards the Identification of Sickle Cell Hemoglobin Polymerization Inhibitors [PDF]
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that affects the hemoglobin within red blood cells. A point mutation in the gene coding for the β-subunit of hemoglobin allows the mutant chain to interact with a hydrophobic pocket of another hemoglobin in a ...
