Abstract:

Haemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease accounts for 30% of cases of sickle cell disease in the United Kingdom and the United States. Unlike other sickle cell carriers, who are relatively asymptomatic, people with HbSC disease have a combination of genotypes with the potential to cause considerable morbidity due to intracellular water loss. Patients can present with acute pain, acute chest syndrome, proliferative retinopathy, splenic and renal complications, or stroke. We present a young man with HbSC disease who developed acute compartment syndrome. This is only the second report of this syndrome in a

Abstract Abstract 1003 Introduction. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder, characterized by the presence of hemoglobin S (HbS), and a clinical multisystem involvement. Stroke is the most disabling complication of SCD and has an incidence around 11% and 2% in sickle cell anemia (HbSS) and SCD patients before the age of 20 respectively. The Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a noninvasive and safe diagnostic technique to monitor the cerebral mean blood flow velocities of SCD identifying those at risk for developing stroke, enabling the prophylactic treatment with ch

Introduction Children and adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) suffer from overt stroke, the prevalence of which has been reported to be 11% < 20 years.

Unlike homozygous SS disease (HbSS), the reported prevalence of overt and silent stroke in Hemoglobin SC (HbSC) is low (0% and 5.8%, respectively) in Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSD)2. However, in a recent study, the prevalence of silent stroke in HbSC was found to be 13.5%3. The goal of ou

Abstract:

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to examine the factor structure, model-based reliability, measurement invariance and concurrent validity of the five-item version of the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) in Norwegian adolescents. Methods: An initial pilot study was carried out using a sample of 77 fifteen year olds. For the main analyses, a sample of 2140 Norwegian adolescents was used who participated in the cross-sectional Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC) study. All participants were asked to complete a questionnaire. Results: Confirmatory factor analyse

Abstract:

Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a progressively debilitating monogenic disease characterized by unpredictable, acute, life-threatening episodes and chronic complications such as hemolytic anemia and end-organ damage. It presents with a range of severity resulting in significant morbidity, poor quality of life, and early mortality. Real-world data on treatments and clinical outcomes for patients (pts) with SCD are limited, particularly in the community clinical care setting. The objectives of this retrospective real-world study were to characterize clinical manifestations and management

Introduction The occurrence of organ damage in sickle cell disease (SCD) is a crucial determinant for both medical treatment and prognosis. In a previous study, we systematically analyzed the prevalence of SCD related organ damage and complications in adult sickle cell patients in a tertiary teaching hospital in the Netherlands. We now describe a seven-year follow-up of this patient cohort, to provide an insight into the course of the various forms of organ damage and SCD related complications.

Many protein biomarkers have been described in serum and plasma of children with homozygous sickle cell disease. In order to understand the effect of hydroxyurea and the hemoglobin SC genotype on serum protein levels, we compared the relative abundance of serum proteins in healthy children and children with SCD. Methods: The relative concentration of 140 different serum proteins was measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Serum sample

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Clinical illness in SCD results not only from the β-globin gene mutation, but also from other genetic and environmental factors acting in concert. The biological basis of individual variation in the severity of SCD is not fully understood. Our previous study revealed that WBCs from people with severe SCD express high levels of the adhesion molecules L-selectin (CD62L) and αMβ2 integrin (CD11a/18) in steady state. These cell membrane proteins mediate leukocyte adherence to vascular endothelium and facilitate vaso-occlusion: a fundamental pathological process in SCD. The lip
