Combined Iron Deficiency and Thalassemia Minor [PDF]
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2013 To the Editor Schoorl et al1 have used new RBC measurement parameters available on the Sysmex XE 5000 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) to develop algorithms to separate iron deficiency from thalassemia minor in microcytic blood samples. They established a study set of samples from patients with known diagnoses.

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis
Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

The levels of nitric oxide in beta-thalassemia minor
Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2008 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between NO (nitric oxide) and beta-thalassemia minor. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with beta-thalassemia minor (30 M, 30 F) were included in the study. The control group consisted of
