Plummer–Vinson syndrome in a 10‐year‐old boy from Côte d'Ivoire: An exceptional paediatric case with African context

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Plummer–Vinson syndrome (PVS) is characterised by the triad of dysphagia, iron‐deficiency anaemia, and proximal oesophageal webs. While well described in adults, paediatric cases remain exceptionally rare, particularly in sub‐Saharan Africa.

Association between sickle cell and β-thalassemia genes and hemoglobin concentration and anemia in children and non-pregnant women in Sierra Leone: ancillary analysis of data from Sierra Leone’s 2013 National Micronutrient Survey

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective By measuring the associations between the presence of sickle cell and β-thalassemia genes, we assessed the extent to which these hemoglobinopathies contribute to the high prevalence of anemia observed in preschool-aged children and women of ...

SURMOUNT‐REAL UK: A Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial to Assess the Effectiveness of Tirzepatide in Adults With Obesity

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SURMOUNT‐REAL UK will evaluate the effectiveness of tirzepatide when offered in addition to standard‐of‐care (SoC) in adults with Class I obesity (BMI ≥ 30 and ≤ 34.9 kg/m2) and without diabetes in a UK primary care setting. Methods A 5‐year, phase 4, multicenter, open‐label, pragmatic randomized clinical trial is enabled through ...

Bacteraemia in Kenyan children with sickle-cell anaemia: a retrospective cohort and case-control study. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, more than 90% of children with sickle-cell anaemia die before the diagnosis can be made. The causes of death are poorly documented, but bacterial sepsis is probably important.

Prenatal Exome Sequencing Identifies Dual Maternal‐Fetal Diagnosis of HbF Mission Bay, a Novel HBG2 Variant Associated With Methemoglobinemia, Hypoxia and Hemolytic Anemia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.

Universal Metastability of Sickle Hemoglobin Polymerization [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2008
Sickle hemoglobin (HbS) polymerization occurs when the concentration of deoxyHbS exceeds a well-defined solubility. In experiments using sickle hemoglobin droplets suspended in oil, it has been shown that when polymerization ceases the monomer concentration is above equilibrium solubility. We find that the final concentration in uniform bulk solutions (

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

The LSD1 inhibitor RN-1 recapitulates the fetal pattern of hemoglobin synthesis in baboons (P. anubis)

Haematologica, 2016
Increased fetal hemoglobin levels lessen the severity of symptoms and increase the lifespan of patients with sickle cell disease. Hydroxyurea, the only drug currently approved for the treatment of sickle cell disease, is not effective in a large ...
