Determinants of anemia and hemoglobin concentration in haitian school-aged children [PDF]
Anemia diminishes oxygen transport in the body, resulting in potentially irreversible growth and developmental consequences for children. Limited evidence for determinants of anemia exists for school-aged children.

Sickling hemoglobin polymerization in iguana erythrocytes
Abstract 1. 1. Polymerized hemoglobin in the cytoplasm and nuclei of erythrocytes from iguana (Cyclura cornuta and Cyclura figgensi) form fibers like those of sickled cells in some mammals. 2. 2. Sickling is greater in C. cornuta than in C. figgensi and is promoted by O2 or N2 while pH has no effect. 3. 3.

Exploring the immunomodulatory impacts of blood manufacturing consolidation
Abstract Introduction The immunomodulatory consequences of blood transfusion, known as transfusion‐related immune modulation (TRIM), are often not captured by hemovigilance systems. Changes to blood product manufacturing processes may impact patient outcomes.

Determining of the Hydroxyurea Effluence on TCD Parameters of Sickle Cell Patients
Background: Sickle cell disease is the most common hemoglobinopathies that affect a specific intracellular protein named as hemoglobin. This disease has several clinical manifestations including, CNS involvement.

Improving Communication between Doctors and Parents after Newborn Screening [PDF]
Background: Newborn screening (NBS) enables early treatment, and some consider it a natural vehicle for genetic screening. Bioethicists argue for caution since families of infants with carrier status can develop psychosocial complications.

Safety and efficacy of blood exchange transfusion for priapism complicating sickle cell disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Priapism is unwanted painful penile erection that affects about 36% of boys and men with sickle cell disease (SCD) most of whom have sickle cell anemia. Clinically, priapism could be stuttering, minor, or major.

Fetal hemoglobin in sickle cell anemia
AbstractFetal hemoglobin (HbF) is the major genetic modulator of the hematologic and clinical features of sickle cell disease, an effect mediated by its exclusion from the sickle hemoglobin polymer. Fetal hemoglobin genes are genetically regulated, and the level of HbF and its distribution among sickle erythrocytes is highly variable.
