Safety and efficacy of blood exchange transfusion for priapism complicating sickle cell disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Priapism is unwanted painful penile erection that affects about 36% of boys and men with sickle cell disease (SCD) most of whom have sickle cell anemia. Clinically, priapism could be stuttering, minor, or major.

Effect of liganded hemoglobin S and hemoglobin A on the aggregation of deoxy-hemoglobin S.
The effect of the carbonmonoxy forms of Hb S and Hb A on the solubility and kinetics of the aggregation of deoxy-Hb S in concentrated phosphate buffer was studied. The delay time was prolonged exponentially when the ratios of CO-Hb S and CO-Hb A to deoxy-Hb S were increased.

Polymerization of binary mixtures of hemoglobin S and carbamylated hemoglobin S.
To study the mode of interaction between hemoglobin (Hb) S and carbamylated Hb S, the kinetics of polymerization of various mixtures of deoxy-Hb S and NH2 termini carbamylated Hb S in concentrated phosphate buffer was determined. These mixtures were found to polymerize with a clear demonstration of a delay time as does each hemoglobin in its pure form.
