Stroke without cerebral arteriopathy in sickle cell disease children: causes and treatment

Haematologica
Cerebral arteriopathy (CA) in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) is classically described as chronic stenosis of arteries in the anterior brain circulation, leading to ischemic stroke. Some studies have however reported strokes in children with SCD

Pathological Mechanism‐Inspired Biomimetic Nano‐Senotherapy for Reversing Experimental Atherosclerosis in ApoE−/− Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The biomimetic self‐assembly nanomedicine reversing atherosclerosis via senotherapy strategy. ABSTRACT The greatest challenge in atherosclerosis (AS) management lies in achieving lesion reversal, not merely slowing progression. Senescent cell accumulation—driven by continuous generation and apoptotic resistance—perpetuates plaque pathology and ...

Asthma in Sickle Cell Disease [PDF]

The Scientific World JOURNAL, 2011
In recent years, evidence has increased that asthma predisposes to complications of sickle cell disease (SCD), such as pain crises, acute chest syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, and stroke, and is associated with increased mortality. An obstructive pattern of pulmonary function, along with a higher-than-expected prevalence of airway hyper ...
