Abstract Abstract 4767 Background. Sickle-Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most common severe monogenic inherited disorders worldwide, due to hemoglobin S (HbS), with reduced affinity for the oxygen. HbS polymerization, leading to erythrocyte rigidity, vaso-occlusion and hemolytic anemia, is central in the pathophysiology and crucial for the clinical outcome. The term SCD refers to Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) due to homozygosis for βS allele, HbS/β-thalassemia (T-SCD) due to compound of β-thal and βS allele, and HbSC disease, owing to the coinheritance of βS and βcalleles.

The haemoglobinopathies are the most common monogenetic diseases in the world. They include the thalassaemias and sickle cell syndromes. The sickle cell syndromes encompass several abnormal haemoglobin variants, of which homozygosity for the sickle cell gene – that is, sickle cell anaemia is the most common and most severe. Originally characteristic of the tropics and subtropics, recent mobility and migratory trends have meant that the prevalence of sickle cell disease (SCD) has significantly increased in the UK.

Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic activation of coagulation and an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Erythrocyte sickling, the primary pathologic event in SCD, results in dramatic morphological changes in red blood cells (RBCs) because of polymerization of the abnormal hemoglobin. We used a mouse model of SCD and blood samples from sickle patients to determine if these changes affect the structure, properties, and dynamics of sickle clot formation.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is considered a group of genetic red blood cell (RBC) disorders. Healthy red blood cells (RBC) are round in shape and migrates throughout the body to carry oxygen in the small blood vessels. In SCD, the RBC turns into hard and sticky, and the shape is similar to a C-Shaped tool called "SICKLE." Because of the early death of the sickle cells, a constant shortage of red blood cells arises. Because of the typical shape of the sickle cells, their movement in the blood vessel is not as smooth as normal RBC and get stuck and clog the blood flow leading to anemia. The change

 Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a group of inherited single-gene autosomal recessive disorders caused by the ‘sickle’ gene, which affects haemoglobin structure. Sickle cell anemia is the most common hemoglobinopathy worldwide. The burden of sickle cell disease in pregnancy has been exponentially increasing with more number of women reaching the reproductive age, and having successful pregnancies. It has been proven beyond doubt that SCD in pregnancy poses the pregnant woman and fetus to significantly higher risks than a lady without SCD. SCD is associated with both maternal

Abstract:
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited, lifelong condition. The sickle mutation consists a single nucleotide change (GAT->GTT) in the sixth codon of exon 1 of the β-globin gene coding for the β-globin polypeptide of hemoglobin (Hb) (a2β2). This change results in replacement of the wild type glutamic acid residue by a valine residue in β-globin chain and the formation of the sickle Hb (HbS) in homozygotes for this mutation. Heterozygotes live a normal life. In SCD patients, sickle erythrocytes are rigid with decreased deformability and reduced life span resulting in hemolysis, vaso-occlus

AbstractRecent insights into the pathogenesis of microvascular occlusion downstream of the sickled red cell have revealed new therapeutic targets for sickle cell disease (SCD). After the formation of sickle cells, tissue injury spurs inflammation, which leads to receptor-mediated contacts between sickle cells, leukocytes, and vascular endothelium. Specifically, selectins decelerate sickled red cells and leukocytes in the circulation to facilitate endothelial adhesion and other cell–cell interactions, ultimately leading to vascular occlusion.

AbstractHematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using an HLA-matched sibling donor is a well-established curative therapy for pediatric patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent thalassemias (TDT). In order to expand the donor pool, new approaches such as related haploidentical donor HCT have been used with encouraging results. These approaches aim for a higher overall survival, an effective reduction of acute and chronic GvHD and a reduced toxicity. Due to these alternative approaches and adult patients being increasingly transplanted, the number of HCT has dramatically increased in the last decade. Furthermore, different gene therapy and gene editing strategies are being developed in clinical trials, showing promising results.

Abstract:
Background: Malnourishment remains the main issue that affect under-five children in Kenya to an overwhelming proportion. The condition is further compounded by the burden of sickle cell disease (SCD). However, association of SCD with stunting, wasting, and underweight in a nationally representative sample of under-five children remains unknown. The main aim of this study was to describe prevalence of under malnutrition by sickle cell status, to evaluate its association with growth faltering ascertained with anthropometric indices, and to explore mediating role of hemoglobin.

Abstract:
SICKLE CELL disease is the most common severe monogenic disorder in humans. In Africa, 50–90% of children born with sickle cell disease die before they reach their fifth birthday. A cure for sickle cell anemia (SCA) is not available to all who have inherited this devastating genetically inherited disease. However, increasing knowledge that nutritional imbalances are fundamental to the severity of the disease, has produced interest in promoting dietary and nutrition intervention for treating these patients. This review seeks to emphasize the understanding that both children and adults with sick
