Role of red blood cells “annexin V” and platelets “P-selectin” in patients with thalassemia

Hematology/Oncology and Stem Cell Therapy, 2019
Objective/Background: Certain hemostatic anomalies found in patients with thalassemia suggest the existence of a chronic hypercoagulable state. Several etiologic factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of the hypercoagulable state in those patients ...

Prevalence of renal tubular dysfunction in beta thalassemia minor in shiraz [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2011
Background & objective: β-Thalassemia minor is an asymptomatic hereditary disease. The first study on the relation of renal tubular dysfunction and β-thalassemia minor was performed in 2002 but those studies seem inadequate.The main goal of this study is

Evalution of HbA2 In Minor β Thalassemia Carriers Reffered to Kerman Special Disease Center [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2003
Increased HbA2 is a characteristic finding in minor beta thalassemia. Minor β-thalassemia is a heterozygote form of β-thalassemia that carries thalassemia genes but does not cause thalassemia disease.

Improvement of Sickle Cell Disease Care Mitigates the Healthcare Utilization Induced by Increased Prevalence: Experience of a Tertiary Pediatric Center

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) has undergone major changes in the last decades. Its prevalence has been steadily increasing and numerous advances have been made in the management of the disease. However, the effect in real‐life setting of these major changes is unknown, particularly in a Canadian environment. Procedure We aimed to assess

Retinal and Choriocapillaris Vascular Changes in Patients Affected by Different Clinical Phenotypes of β-Thalassemia: An Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Study

Biology, 2021
In this cross-sectional study we assessed the vascular alterations in retinal and choriocapillaris perfusion in patients affected by β-thalassemia, by means of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Expanding the Utility of Exome Sequencing in Preventive and Population Genetics

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrier screening is a long‐standing genetic testing process offered to at‐risk couples, with or without a family history, who might have pregnancies affected by an autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked (XL) disorder. A total of 276 unrelated individuals, initially referred for rare disorder screening by clinicians, were enrolled in this study ...

Determination of mutations in iron regulating genes of beta thalassemia major patients of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Hepcidin and hemochromatosis (HFE) are iron regulatory proteins that are encoded by HAMP and HFE genes. Mutation in either HAMP gene or HFE gene causes Hepcidin protein deficiency that can lead to iron overload in beta thalassemia patients ...

Sappanwood extract modulates hepatic structure–function in hepatomegaly and hepcidin related iron regulatory pathways in a phenylhydrazine induced hemolytic anemia rat model relevant to thalassemia

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) induces hemolytic anemia characterized by increased erythrocyte destruction and ineffective erythropoiesis, leading to hepcidin suppression through disruption of the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway. Reduced hepcidin levels enhance intestinal iron absorption and hepatic iron accumulation, leading to hepatic iron overload.

Septal Release: A Targeted Surgical Strategy for Recurrent Epistaxis

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recurrent epistaxis is a common pediatric condition that is typically managed with conservative therapies, but a subset of patients require surgical intervention after treatment failure. We seek to describe the efficacy of septal release for refractory pediatric epistaxis patients. Objective To compare outcomes of septal release for
