Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fort.) is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicine plants. However, there is no suitable herbicide used for weed control in Radix Isatidis field during postemergence stage. To explore the safety of sulfonylurea herbicide nicosulfuron on Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fort.) seedlings and the photosynthetic physiological response of the plant to...

The sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis is widely known as the main pest of sugarcane crop, causing increased damage to the entire fields. Measures to control this pest involve the use of chemicals and biological control with Cotesia flavipes wasps. In this study, we evaluated the insecticides fipronil (Frontline; 0.0025%), malathion (Malatol Bio Carb; 0.4%), cipermetrina (Galgotrin; 10%), and...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare, but clinically significant complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It is characterized by hemolysis due to antibodies produced by the donor’s immune system against donor red cell antigens. The 3-year cumulative incidence of AIHA is 4.44% in adults; however, 75% of patients develop AIHA during the first post-HSCT year [...

Abstract Background Evans’ syndrome (ES) is a rare and chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the concomitant or sequential association of auto-immune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), less frequently neutropenia positive direct anti-human globulin test. ES represents up to 7% AIHA around 2% ITP. Studies have found that coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) may be associate...

Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare but life-threatening complication. To date, there are no relevant data for treatment of AIHA in MCL. Ibrutinib, which has been approved for relapse/refractory MCL, is an immunomodulatory drug inhibiting Th2 activation and consequently the production of autoantibodies. We report a case of MCL with AIHA in which this for...

Spherocytic red cells with reduced membrane surface area are a feature of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and some forms of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). It is generally assumed that membrane loss in spherocytic red cells occurs during their sojourn in circulation. The structural basis for membrane loss in HS is improper assembly of membrane proteins, whereas in AIHA it is due to partial ph...

abstract in order to efficacy evaluation of some new herbicides to control of weeds in corn, a set of field studies were conducted in 2007 at 4 province of iran, including tehran (varamin), khuzestan, fars, and kermansh. treatments were arranged in a rcbd design with four replications. treatments consisted of ultima (nicosulfuron+nimsulfuron), lumax (mesotrion+s-metolacholor+terbuthlazine), ami...

Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is a rare (prevalence 0.2 -1.0 per 100,000 population) but a potentially fatal condition. Diagnosis of AIHA is based mainly on Direct Agglutination Test (DAT/Coomb's test). AIHA is classified into warm (optimal autoantibody reactivity at 37°C) and cold (optimal autoantibody reactivity at 4°C) types. Based on the presence or absence of an underlying cause, it...

CD47 deficiency results in lethal autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) and mild spontaneous thrombocytopenia in non-obese diabetic mice. It is unknown whether CD47 has an impact on AIHA of the warm type or autoimmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in humans. Healthy blood donors (n= 11), patients with AIHA (n= 13), patients with ITP (n= 18) and one patient with Rh(null) phenotype were investigated. CD4...

OBJECTIVE To present and discuss the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). METHODS The medical records of all patients (n=19) diagnosed in a tertiary hematology center between 1999 and 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Median age at diagnosis of AIHA was 5 years (range: 4 months-17 years). In all, 13 patients had primary (idiopathic) AIHA, whereas 2 had primary Evans Sy...
