Association between sickle cell and β-thalassemia genes and hemoglobin concentration and anemia in children and non-pregnant women in Sierra Leone: ancillary analysis of data from Sierra Leone’s 2013 National Micronutrient Survey

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective By measuring the associations between the presence of sickle cell and β-thalassemia genes, we assessed the extent to which these hemoglobinopathies contribute to the high prevalence of anemia observed in preschool-aged children and women of ...

Diagnosis of sickle cell anemia using AutoML on UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy data [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder that is widespread in many regions of the world. Early diagnosis through screening and preventive treatments are known to reduce mortality in the case of sickle cell disease (SCD). In addition, the screening of individuals with the largely asymptomatic condition of sickle cell trait (SCT) is necessary to curtail

Predicting optimal hematocrit in silico [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Fluids 3 (10), 103603 (2018), 2018
Optimal hematocrit $H_o$ maximizes oxygen transport. In healthy humans, the average hematocrit $H$ is in the range of 40-45$\%$, but it can significantly change in blood pathologies such as severe anemia (low $H$) and polycythemia (high $H$). Whether the hematocrit level in humans corresponds to the optimal one is a long standing physiological question.

Machine Learning Approach for Classification of Sickle Cell Anemia in Teenagers Based on Bayesian Network

open access: yesJournal of Information Systems and Informatics, 2023
In this study, we employed a Bayesian network approach for the classification of sickle cell anemia in teenagers based on their medical data. Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by the presence of abnormal hemoglobin, leading ...

Large Language Models in Ambulatory Devices for Home Health Diagnostics: A case study of Sickle Cell Anemia Management [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
This study investigates the potential of an ambulatory device that incorporates Large Language Models (LLMs) in cadence with other specialized ML models to assess anemia severity in sickle cell patients in real time. The device would rely on sensor data that measures angiogenic material levels to assess anemia severity, providing real-time information ...

Sickle Cell Anemia & Associated Neurological Complications: A Literature Review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Sickle cell anemia, an inherited disorder, causes red blood cells to contort into a disk or sickled shape becoming hard and sticky and obstructing blood flow.

The kidney in sickle cell anemia

open access: yesKidney International, 1975
In 1910, Herrick described the first authentic case of sickle cell disease in a young student from Grenada in the West Indies [1]. He records that he was “uncertain whether the blood picture represented merely a freakish poikilocytosis or is dependent on some peculiar physical or chemical condition of the blood or is characteristic of some particular ...
