May 4th, 2021 - Sickle cell anemia (SCA) results from an abnormal sickle hemoglobin (HbS). HbS polymerizes upon deoxygenation, resulting in red blood cell (RBC) sickling and membrane damage that cause vaso-occlusions and hemolysis. Sickle RBCs contain less adenos...

May 3rd, 2021 - Stroke is a devastating complication of sickle cell anemia (SCA) and can be predicted through abnormally high cerebral blood flow velocity using transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography (TCD). The evidence on the role of alpha-thalassemia and glucose-...

Apr 23rd, 2021 - Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a complex multisystem disease characterized by acute and chronic inflammation, with alterations in inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules. This case-control study was carried out to assess the levels of CD36, imm...

Apr 22nd, 2021 - Despite its high prevalence in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA), the pathophysiology of silent cerebral infarcts (SCIs) remains elusive. The main objective of this study was to explore the respective roles of major determinants of brain perf...
