Objections: In April 2010, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) approved mandatory testing for sickle cell trait status for all student athletes participating in Division I sports. Children's Sickle Cell Program at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh offered genetic testing and counseling ...
A sickle cell test is done with the hope that screening will help identify athletes who might be at risk while exercising rigorously during competition. Although this might identify athletes who would benefit from added rest or more water during sports, a sickle cell test as a screening requireme...
OBJECTIVE: To describe the attitudes of members of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) toward the new National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) policy to require all Division I student athletes be screened for sickle cell trait (SCT), have prior evidence of testing, or...
摘要: SICKLE-cell trait, a heterozygous state characterized by the presence of hemoglobin SA, is present in 7 to 9 per cent of American Negroes.1 Although the occurrence of spontaneous hematuria2 and ren...DOI: 10.1056/NEJM197002052820607 年份: 1970 ...
If testing detects the sickle cell trait, the NCAA advises the athlete's coaches and trainers to learn the symptoms of potential trouble for someone with the trait. Recommendations include allowing longer periods of rest and recovery, encouraging the athlete to report any symptoms without fear of ...
high-intensity sports-related activities as well as the environmental impact of heat and humidity116. The pathophysiological mechanisms of sudden unexpected death amongst individuals with sickle cell trait is put down to four categories: (i) heat stroke & exertional heat illness; (ii) exertion-relat...

Oxbryta was conditionally approved in the U.S. for sickle cell disease, but has been withdrawn from global markets due to safety concerns.
This cohort study evaluates whether African American individuals with sickle cell trait have a higher incidence of myocardial infarction or composite
sickle cell disease [89–91]. Small vessel congestion with red cells leads to a drop in hemoglobin levels. The liver enlarges and becomes tender and inflamed. Treatment is transfusions. Often the hemoglobin level is low enough that given red cell units (matched for ABO, Kell, E, and C ...
