Sickle Cell Disease (Clinical) Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic disorders in which an abnormal Hb molecule (Hb S) transforms RBCs into sickle-shaped cells, resulting in chronic anemia, vasoocclusive episodes, pain, and organ damage. Sickle cell trait, which is the heterozygous...
peripheral smearprognosissickle cellsBlinded readers examined peripheral smears of 108 children with steady sickle cell (SC) disease and controls by counting ten 100× microscope fields and calculating percent of irreversible and reversible SC from total red cell population SC index (SCI). SCI was ...
Sickle cell anemia is suggested when the abnormal sickle-shaped cells in the blood are identified under a microscope. Testing is typically performed on a smear of blood using a special low-oxygen preparation. This is referred to as sickle prep. Other prep tests can also be used to detect abn...
Sickle cell disease or sickle cell anemia is the most common of the hereditary blood disorders among black people of African descent worldwide. Learn about symptoms, treatment, causes, inheritance, testing, complications, and more.
Sickle cell disease refers to a group of disorders resulting from mutations in the hemoglobin gene that can lead to deformation of the red blood cell (RBC) into a crescent, or sickle, shape. From: Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 2008 About this pageAdd to MendeleySet alert ...

Sickle cell disease (SCD) was first described in 1910 in a dental student from the West Indies presenting with recurrent painful episodes, hemolytic anemia, and jaundice (1). On microscopic review of the patient’s blood smear, Dr. James Herrick and his intern, Dr. Ernest Irons, identified ...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is caused by a mutation in the β-globin gene HBB1. We used a custom adenine base editor (ABE8e-NRCH)2,3 to convert the SCD allele (HBBS) into Makassar β-globin (HBBG), a non-pathogenic variant4,5. Ex vivo delivery of mRNA enco
Sickle-cell disease (SCD) represents asubstantial public health problem in Gabon. Fever is one of the principalreasons for the hospitalization of children afflicted by major sickle-celldisorder, since it can be a clinical reflection of severe infections that havethe potential to become life ...
