Although nearly all the complications of SS disease may be seen, they are less frequent and less severe in SC disease. In addition, patients do not demonstrate autosplenectomy, but instead often have splenomegaly. S/β°-thalassemia (in which there is no normal β-chain production from the ...
Ex-Vivo FT-4202 Treatment Improves Hemoglobin Oxygen Affinity and Membrane Health in Red Blood Cells of Patients with Hemoglobin SS and Hemoglobin SC Disease Irrespective of Prior Hydroxyurea UseThe two most common genotypes causing sickle cell disease (SCD) are homozygous bsbsproducing hemoglobin S (...
Hematologic evaluation disclosed the presence of hemoglobin SC disease and heterozygous alpha-thalassemia-2 (αα/α—). A red cell density profile of the patient's peripheral blood revealed an absence of the typical uniform shift toward higher-density values seen in hemoglobin SC disease, ...
Medical treatment of patients with hemoglobin S disorders severely tests the skill and judgment of their physicians. Dramatic and potentially serious symptoms and findings are common; the question is whether they are primary manifestations of the hemoglobinopathy (in which case conservative management is ...

No specific treatment is required. This disorder becomes problematic only if infection occurs, if splenomegaly becomes painful, or if mild chronic hemolysis leads to gallbladder disease. Genetic counseling is recommended because Hb C in combination with Hb S results in SCD and can have severe sympto...
PFHb> 50 mg/dL checked 24-hour post ECMO implantation is a useful tool to predict mortality. We propose the routine checking of PFHb 24-hours after ECMO initiation for early identification and treatment of the cause of hemolysis. 展开 ...
There is no treatment and the maximum life expectancy is 5 years. The carrier frequency is 1 in 30 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, compared with 1:300 in non-Jewish individuals.17 The carrier frequency of Tay-Sachs disease is also increased relative to the general population in individuals...
Advances in the field of hemoglobin switching provide an excellent example of how the investigation of a biologic phenomenon may lead to the development of novel approaches for the treatment of disease. In patients with beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease, transcription switches from a normal ga...
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis; however, early readmissions due to complications are common. This study assessed the ability of the hemoglobin-to-red cell distribution width ratio (HRR), hemoglobin-to-monocyte ratio (HMR), and hemoglobin-to-leukocyte...
