Sickle Cell Disease: Historical Overview and Current Therapies
Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide, yet the limited treatment options currently available do not always adequately control the disease and carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment is hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation, a procedure that carries considerable challenges and numerous ...

PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Background The prosthetic socket is central to the comfort, function, and satisfaction for lower‐limb prosthesis users. Traditional fixed‐geometry sockets offer limited adjustability and sometimes fail to accommodate daily changes in residual limb volume or shape, leading to poor load distribution, discomfort, skin issues, and reduced quality ...
