, 2010
Introduction. Cardiovascular involvement represents a well-known complication and the primary cause of mortality, both in transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia major (β-TM) and in transfusion-independent beta thalassemia intermedia (β-TI ...

Neutrophil extracellular traps induced by activated platelets as a cause of neutrophil–platelet aggregation in β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Abnormal neutrophils and platelets in splenectomised β‐thalassaemia/haemoglobin E (HbE) disease contribute to neutrophil–platelet aggregation, leading to a high risk of thrombus formation. Activated platelets induce neutrophils to generate neutrophil extracellular trap (NETs) via the P‐selectin–P‐selectin glycoprotein ligand‐1 (PSGL1) pathway, which ...

Thrombocytosis and the generation of platelet‐derived microparticles in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Thrombocytosis is associated with an increased production of platelet‐derived microparticles from activated platelets, which contribute to vaso‐occlusion in sickle cell disease by perpetuating the cycle of inflammation, procoagulant state and endothelial dysfunction.

The life of patients with thalassemia major

Haematologica, 2010
Andrea wakes up late, because the night before he went to a party with his girlfriend. He disconnects the needle and puts his desferal pump in the drawer. Then he rushes to work: he’s a computer designer and his job is quite safe, because it was granted under the law protecting thalassemia patients and other people with medical problems.

Bone Marrow Transplantation in Nonmalignant Haematological Diseases: What Have We Learned about Thalassemia?

, 2023
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation remains the only therapy for congenital, severe haemoglobinopathies that is able to reverse the pathological phenotype. In the severe form of thalassemia, regular transfusions are needed early in life. This population

Third Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Children: A Multicenter Analysis From the Spanish GETH‐TC Pediatric Group

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Third allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT3) is rarely performed in pediatric patients and is associated with high toxicity and mortality. Data on outcomes in this setting remain scarce. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study within the Spanish GETH‐TC Pediatric group including 29 children and adolescents who ...

Transplantation for thalassemia major: Alternative donors

, 2016
Purpose of review Lack of a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched family donor is a major obstacle limiting the use of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to cure thalassemia major. Use of alternative donors, if found well tolerated

Is There a Difference in Occurrence of Complications Between Adults With Hemoglobin SS and Hemoglobin SC Disease: An Extended Systematic Review

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by both acute and chronic complications. The clinical manifestation of these complications differs between genotypes. Given the large amount of research already published, this systematic review aims to offer a complete overview of types of sickle cell complications between adults in the most common ...
