The Growth of Sickle Hemoglobin Polymers [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2011
The measurement of polymer growth is an essential element in characterization of assembly. We have developed a precise method of measuring the growth of sickle hemoglobin polymers by observing the time required for polymers to traverse a photolytically produced channel between a region in which polymers are created and a detection region.

Does Sickle Cell Anaemia Have a Relationship With Avascular Pulp Necrosis? A Systematic Review

Australian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review examined the relationship between sickle cell disease (SCD), an inherited genetic hemoglobinopathy, and avascular pulp necrosis (APN) in intact teeth. A comprehensive search of eight electronic databases was performed up to December 2024.

Microalbuminuria as Predictor of Early Glomerular Injury in Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Anaemia at Muhimbili National Hospital Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 2012 [PDF]

, 2012
Microalbuminuria (MA) is the earliest marker of various diseases affecting the renal system. Its relevance in children and adolescents with sickle cell anaemia (SCA), who are known to be prone to renal complications, has not been fully explored in our ...

Invasive bacterial infections in Gambians with sickle cell anaemia in an era of widespread Pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccination [PDF]

, 2016
Background: There is relatively little data on the aetiology of bacterial infections in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) in West Africa, and no data from countries that have implemented conjugate vaccines against both Streptococcus pneumoniae and ...

Across species: A comparative perspective on red cell homeostasis and its influence on our understanding of human physiology and disease

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
This review highlights how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans. A comparative perspective has enhanced our knowledge of human red cell pathophysiology Summary This review emphasises how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans.

Hydroxyurea Treatment for Sickle Cell Disease

The Scientific World Journal, 2002
High fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels inhibit the polymerization of sickle hemoglobin (HbS) and reduce the complications of sickle cell disease. Pharmacologic agents that can reverse the switch from γ- to β-chain synthesis — γ-globin chains characterize HbF,

Parvovirus B19 infection in pediatric transplant patients [PDF]

, 1993
Evidence of recent parvovirus virus infection (as determined by the presence of a positive IgM antibody titer) without other identified causes of anemia was found in 5 of 26 pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients evaluated for moderate-to-severe ...
