β-Thalassemia [PDF]

Genetics in Medicine, 2017
β-Thalassemia is caused by reduced (β+) or absent (β0) synthesis of the β-globin chains of hemoglobin. Three clinical and hematological conditions of increasing severity are recognized: the β-thalassemia carrier state, thalassemia intermedia, and thalassemia major, a severe transfusion-dependent anemia.

The impact of low‐dose aspirin on hemoglobin levels in pregnancy: A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial for prevention of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This study evaluates the association of low‐dose aspirin (LDA) with hemoglobin (Hb) levels during pregnancy and explores how changes in Hb levels relate to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Methods This secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial comprised 249 pregnant women recruited from a regional hospital in ...

IRON METABOLISM IN THALASSEMIA AND SICKLE CELL DISEASE

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2009
There are two main mechanisms by which iron overload develops in thalassemias: increased iron absorption due to ineffective erythropoiesis and blood transfusions.

Hemoglobin A2 Cut off Values in Egyptian Cohort as a marker of β -Thalassemia carriers. [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2015
Beta thalassemias (β-thalassemias) are a group of inherited blood disorders caused by reduced or absent synthesis of beta chains of hemoglobin resulting in variable phenotypes ranging from severe anemia to clinically asymptomatic individuals.

An Integrated Genotyping Strategy for α/β‐Thalassemia: Based on the Analysis of the Coding Sequences and Expression Levels of HBA2, HBA1, and HBB in Peripheral Blood mRNA

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We have developed an integrated mRNA‐based strategy for thalassemia genotyping. Its characteristics included using only three Sanger sequencing reactions to analyze the full‐length coding sequence of HBA2, HBA1 and HBB, and employing a new multiple quantitative fluorescence PCR to simply assess and present the impact of common mutations on the ...

Impact of pre‐examination video education in Gd‐EOB‐DTPA‐enhanced liver MRI: A comparative study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 34-41, March 2025.
This study evaluates the effects of pre‐examination video education on patient anxiety, satisfaction and image quality in Gd‐EOB‐DTPA‐enhanced liver MRI. We found that video education significantly reduced anxiety, increased patient satisfaction and improved image quality compared to standard pre‐MRI guidance, highlighting the potential of video ...

Phosphaturia in Thalassemia

Pediatrics, 1976
Thirteen phosphorus balances were performed in four thalassemic children aged 6 to 10 years. No correlation was found between phosphorus intake and serum level or between phosphorus intake and net absorption. There was a positive correlation among daily phosphorus intake, net absorption, and 24-hour urinary excretion.

Heterozygous Beta‐Thalassaemia in Pregnancy: Two Rare Causes of Severe Fetal Anemia Requiring Intrauterine Blood Transfusions

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In this article, we present two cases of severe fetal hemolytic anemia based on a beta‐thalassaemia trait inherited from a single parent. Results These cases, presented at 20 and 28 weeks' gestation, necessitated intra‐uterine blood transfusions.

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

Case Report: Management of Thalassemic Mother for LSCS [PDF]

The Indian Anaesthetists' Forum, 2009
Thalassemias are genetically determined heterogeneous group of disorders with reduced production of globin. We report anaesthetic management of a case of ß-Thalassemia syndrome for LSCS.
