Knowledge and Attitudes towards Sickle Cell Disease Screening: A Study of Members of the UK Sickle Cell Society [PDF]

, 2006
Over the past fifty years there has been an increase in the number of people in the UK who have a Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD) or are carriers. This increase has led to an expansion in research in this area; however one particular area that has not been ...

HIV-1 Tat phosphorylation on Ser-16 residue modulates HIV-1 transcription

Retrovirology, 2018
Background HIV-1 transcription activator protein Tat is phosphorylated in vitro by CDK2 and DNA-PK on Ser-16 residue and by PKR on Tat Ser-46 residue. Here we analyzed Tat phosphorylation in cultured cells and its functionality. Results Mass spectrometry

Increased iron export by ferroportin induces restriction of HIV-1 infection in sickle cell disease

Blood Advances, 2016
: The low incidence of HIV-1 infection in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and inhibition of HIV-1 replication in vitro under the conditions of low intracellular iron or heme treatment suggests a potential restriction of HIV-1 infection in SCD. We

Nutritional status, hospitalization and mortality among patients with sickle cell anemia in Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Reduced growth is common in children with sickle cell anemia, but few data exist on associations with long-term clinical course. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition at enrollment into a hospital-based cohort and ...

Reduced sensitivity of the ferroportin Q248H mutant to physiological concentrations of hepcidin

Haematologica, 2013
Ferroportin Q248H mutation has an allele frequency of 2.2–13.4% in African populations and is associated with a mild tendency to increased serum ferritin in the general population. Some investigators have reported that ferroportin Q248H is degraded after

Incidence, kinetics, and risk factors for intra- and extracranial cerebral arteriopathies in a newborn sickle cell disease cohort early assessed by transcranial and cervical color Doppler ultrasound

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
The risk of stroke in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) is detected by abnormal intracranial arterial time-averaged mean of maximum velocities (TAMVs ≥200 cm/s).

Bacterial Infection in the Sickle Cell Population: Development and Enabling Factors

Microorganisms, 2023
The high frequency of bacterial infections represents a major threat to public health. In developing countries, they are still responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations with sickle cell disease, particularly in children
