Hemoglobin SE disease in Hatay, in the southern part of Turkey

open access: yesThalassemia Reports, 2015
Double heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) E and S, known as HbSE disease, is a rare, clinically benign condition involving mild hemolysis. Only 25 cases have been reported to date.

Oxidized Mutant Human Hemoglobins S and E Induce Oxidative Stress and Bioenergetic Dysfunction in Human Pulmonary Endothelial Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
Cell free hemoglobin (Hb), becomes oxidized in the circulation during hemolytic episodes in sickle cell disease (SCD) or thalassemia and may potentially cause major complications that are damaging to the vascular system.

Common Variants at 10 Genomic Loci Influence Hemoglobin A(1C) Levels via Glycemic and Nonglycemic Pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Glycated hemoglobin (HbA₁(c)), used to monitor and diagnose diabetes, is influenced by average glycemia over a 2- to 3-month period. Genetic factors affecting expression, turnover, and abnormal glycation of hemoglobin could also be associated with ...

Prognostic Significance of Hemoglobin/Prognostic Nutritional Index and Hemoglobin/Red Blood Cell Distribution in Rectal Cancer

open access: yes, 2023
BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate the effect of hemoglobin/prognostic nutritional index and hemoglobin/red blood cell distribution, which are indicators of inflammation and nutrition, on prognosis and survival in patients with rectal cancer.

Gene Expression Analysis Of The Brazilian Type Of Hereditary Persistence Of Fetal Hemoglobin: Identification Of Genes That Could Be Related To γ-globin Activation

open access: yes, 2015
Increased γ-globin production and consequent fetal hemoglobin (Hb F, α2γ2) formation is an important modulator of the clinical and hematological features of hemolytic anemias, such as sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia (β-thal).

Therapeutic red blood cell exchange in a sickle cell disease patient with acute bone pain crisis: Our experience in a tertiary care center

open access: yesAsian Journal of Transfusion Science
Transfusion therapy remains the main stay of treatment for patients with sickle cell anemia for several years. However, repeated transfusions might result in iron overload and alloimmunization in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients.

Hemoglobin concentration in relation to body mass index among undergraduate medical students – A cross-sectional institutional study

open access: yesNational Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2020
Background: The result of the association between anemia and body mass index (BMI), a measure of the nutritional status of adults, has been inconsistent. There is a paucity of data correlating hemoglobin with BMI in our context.

Multispectral imaging for MicroChip electrophoresis enables point-of-care newborn hemoglobin variant screening

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Hemoglobin (Hb) disorders affect nearly 7% of the world’s population. Globally, around 400,000 babies are born annually with sickle cell disease (SCD), primarily in sub-Saharan Africa where morbidity and mortality rates are high.

Hydrogen Peroxide Production by Streptococcus pneumoniae Results in Alpha-hemolysis by Oxidation of Oxy-hemoglobin to Met-hemoglobin

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Streptococcus pneumoniae and other streptococci produce a greenish halo on blood agar plates referred to as alpha-hemolysis. This phenotype is utilized by clinical microbiology laboratories to report culture findings of alpha-hemolytic streptococci ...
