Pulmonary function abnormalities in children with sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND Adults with sickle cell disease (SCD) have restrictive lung function abnormalities which are thought to result from repeated lung damage caused by episodes of pulmonary vaso-occlusion; such episodes start in childhood. A study was therefore undertaken to determine whether children with SCD have restrictive lung function abnormalities and whether the severity of such abnormalities inc...
متن کاملIntracardiac Thrombosis in Sickle Cell Disease
In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...
متن کاملProteinuria in children with sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND Sickle cell nephropathy is characterized by proteinuria that starts in childhood and may lead to renal failure. Microalbuminuria is used as a marker of glomerular damage. There are no data on the extent and type of proteinuria other than microalbuminuria in children with sickle cell disease (SCD). Our goal was characterization of glomerular permselectivity and tubular proteinuria in ...

متن کاملCirculating endothelial progenitor cells in adults with sickle cell disease
How, then, are we to make progress, when experiments cannot be done in humans, and we cannot trust the results from mice? The answer is, thoughtfully. As Drs Keogh and Menache point out, genes do not work individually or in linear pathways, but rather in networks. We can use mice to work out the links in these networks, while understanding that the relative strengths of the connections are diff...
