Hematological and hemorheological determinants of the six-minute walk test performance in children with sickle cell anemia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The six-minute walk test is a well-established submaximal exercise reflecting the functional status and the clinical severity of sickle cell patients. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the biological determinants of the six ...

Effect of Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a chronic inflammatory state, characterized by increased plasma values of inflammatory and angiogenic proteins. Although red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is known to have immunomodulatory effects in other conditions, its potential effects on the inflammatory state in SCD remain largely unknown.

Haptoglobin gene polymorphisms and interleukin-6 and -8 levels in patients with sickle cell anemia

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2015
BACKGROUND: Haptoglobin genotypes, and interleukin-6 and -8 participate in the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia. The expression of cytokines is regulated by genetic mechanisms however the effect of haptoglobin polymorphisms on these cytokines is not

Advances in Double‐Stranded DNA Targeting Technologies

Exploration, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) plays a crucial role in genetic information storage and disease management, but its inherent stability limits access to internal bases. To overcome this challenge, various high‐specificity molecular targeting technologies have been developed to destabilize the DNA structure.

Nutritional Potential, Phytochemical Content, In Vivo Antioxidant, and Antanemic Potential of Musa paradisiaca Flower

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After collecting Musa paradisiaca leaves, some were dried and others were used to produce aqueous extracts. The extracts and powders were characterized and then administered to rats made anaemic by PHZ. After 14 days of administration of the two samples, the rats were euthanized and it was observed that after 9 days of treatment, the aqueous extract ...

Coexistent sickle cell anemia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in two adolescents [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo)
The development of alloantibodies or autoantibodies is a complication observed in sickle cell disease. Autoimmunization occurs in 7.6-12% of chronically or intermittently transfused patients with sickle cell disease; however, the clinical implications of

The impact of low‐dose aspirin on hemoglobin levels in pregnancy: A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial for prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This study evaluates the association of low‐dose aspirin (LDA) with hemoglobin (Hb) levels during pregnancy and explores how changes in Hb levels relate to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Methods This secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial comprised 249 pregnant women recruited from a regional hospital in ...

PARTNER: A qualitative study on academic and community hospitals partnerships to optimize outbound patient transfers and capacity

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While interhospital patient transfers are common, most existing literature centers on transfers to academic medical centers (AMCs) and tertiary/quaternary care hospitals for a higher level of care. With the growing trend of healthcare system consolidation and formation of regional affiliations, many systems now coordinate admissions
