متن کاملElevated hypercoagulability markers in hemoglobin SC disease.
Hemoglobin SC disease is a very prevalent hemoglobinopathy; however, very little is known about this condition specifically. There appears to be an increased risk of thromboembolic events in hemoglobin SC disease, but studies evaluating the hemostatic alterations are lacking.

متن کاملHemoglobin SC smear recorded with a smartphone
Taking photographs of microscope slides generally requires expensive equipment and a lot of effort. We demonstrate a technique to take clear, focused pictures of microscope slides with a smartphone. This could facilitate exchange of information between providers, allow for quick second opinions, and improve patient care.
متن کاملMolecular and cellular pathogenesis of hemoglobin SC disease.
Solution and cell studies were performed to ascertain why individuals with hemoglobin (Hb) SC have disease whereas those with Hb AS do not. The polymerization of deoxygenated mixtures containing sickle cell Hb (Hb S; alpha 2 beta 2(6)Glu leads to Val) and Hb C (alpha 2 beta 2(6)Glu leads to Lys) was investigated by measurements of delay times and solubilities. In mixtures containing more than 4...
