The present study attempted to understand the association between Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) and Sickle cell anemia (SCA) and to recognize possible causative factors for the presence of ANSD in SCA individuals. Two cases, 24 years male and 17years female with a laboratory-...
We have presented a case of sicklecell disease with severe anemia which responded to blood transfusions. After the anemia was corrected and the hemoglobin concentration stabilized, the patient developed two consecutive cerebral complications; first, a subarachnoid hemorrhage and, later, a cerebral thromb...
Evidence accumulated in many clinics by different observers has established beyond peradventure the existence of sickle cell anemia as a distinct clinical entity. Although the condition was first recognized by Herrick and reported as early as 1910, the relatively high morbidity among negroes was not su...
J. B. Herrick,1 in 1910, reported a peculiar dyscrasia characterized by severe anemia, with the occurrence in the blood of elongated and sickle-shaped erythrocytes. Three instances of this condition have since been described, one by R. E. Washburn;2 one by Cook and Myer,3 and one by ...
Sickle cell hepatopathy (SCH) is a broad term encompassing the range of liver diseases [5] arising from a wide variety of insults to the liver in patients with SCD; it is a relatively uncommon complication that occurs predominantly in patients with homozygous sickle cell anemia and to a lesser...

This remarkable improvement in anemia and symptoms triggered a search for potential causes. Amiodarone is a complex drug shown to have effects on multiple cell types, including erythrocytes. A recent preclinical study demonstrated reduced sickling and improved anemia in a murine model of SCD. This ...
