Red blood cells modulate structure and dynamics of venous clot formation in sickle cell disease.

Blood, 2019
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic activation of coagulation and an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Erythrocyte sickling, the primary pathologic event in SCD, results in dramatic morphological changes in red blood cells (RBCs)

Standardised Request and Contrast Consent Forms to Enhance Clinical Learning in Radiography Education

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study developed standardised Medical Imaging Suite (MIS) request and contrast consent forms, modelled on real‐world documentation, to enhance student learning in diagnostic radiography education. By analysing forms from n = 25 medical imaging providers, key fields were identified and incorporated into authentic teaching resources, intended for use

Pre‐operative transcranial Doppler ultrasound assessment of cerebral collateral circulation in children undergoing veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or cardiac surgery

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A pre‐cannulation survey of the circle of Willis (CoW) using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound was implemented to assess cerebral collateral circulation in children undergoing VA ECMO or cardiac surgery with cervical cannulation. The technique, in use since 2019, employs high‐end ultrasound platforms to assess brain morphology, haemorrhage and ...

Sickle cell hepatopathy

Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2008
Sickle cell hepatopathy is a well-documented entity that ranges from the self-limiting hepatic right upper quadrant syndrome to the potentially lethal intrahepatic cholestasis and acute hepatic sequestration syndromes. We describe a 26-year-male with homozygous sickle cell disease who had this unique hepatic presentation and was documented to have ...
