Sickle cell disease: challenges and progress.
Despite a long history of knowing the genetic cause of sickle cell disease (SCD), progress in developing treatments to prevent painful vaso-occlusive crises and the other myriad of associated symptoms has, until recently, been disappointingly slow. As long ago as 1949, Pauling et al described sickle cell anemia as a molecular disease, with two other groups convincingly describing it as an inher...

‘Invest in the future. Defeat malaria,’ the theme of World Malaria Day 2013, still struck a chord with the outgoing WHO Global Malaria Program Director, Dr Robert Newman, during the release of the latest World Malaria Report on 11 December 2013 in Washington D.C. Dr Newman stated that ‘the greatest threat to continued success in malaria efforts is financial,’ as the community had less than half...
متن کاملProtein folding: progress made and promises ahead.
Over the past 25 years, enormous breakthroughs have been made in understanding protein folding mechanisms. We have now reached an exciting stage, with consensuses beginning to emerge that combine both theoretical and experimental approaches. In addition, new fields have emerged and burgeoned, including in vivo folding and the study of protein misfolding diseases. In today's post-genomic world, ...
متن کاملSickle Cell Disease: Current Challenges
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common monogenic diseases worldwide. Although there have been some advances in the management of SCD, much remains to be learned about the mechanisms underlying the wide phenotypic diversity of the disease. In resource poor countries, basic facilities for diagnosis and management are lacking, systematic screening is not common practice, and diagnosis...
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...
