We conducted a descriptive study to assess the influence of Hb F on clinical events and hematological variables in patients with sickle cell anemia. Methods: 151 patients with sickle cell anemia with a st...
متن کاملThe Effect of L-Glutamine on Pain Crisis Reduction in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Sickle β°-Thalassemia
Background: A low level of L-glutamine, a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in red blood cells (RBCs), is identified as an underlying mechanism for the potential decrement of the NAD redox and the incidence of pain crisis in sickle cell anemia (SCA). The aim of this study is to assess the impact of oral L-glutamine therapy on pain crisis reduction in patients with SCA and sic...
متن کاملEffect of Non- pharmacological Palliative Methods Training on Sickle Cell Anemia Outcomes
Background Drugs used by patients with sickle cell anemia to relieve pain have side effects, so the use of non-pharmacological palliative methods (such as massage, muscle relaxation, heat, drinking fluids, etc.) can be considered. We aimed to determine effect of non-pharmacological palliative methods training among adolescents with sickle cell anemia. <stro...
متن کاملBlood Pressure of Children and Adolescents with Sickle Cell Anemia in Basra, Iraq
Background: Blood pressure in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) is influenced by autonomic cardiovascular dysfunction, endocrinopathies, nephropathy and nutritional factors. We aimed to evaluate systemic and diastolic blood pressure and its severity among children and adolescents with SCA and determine its association with clinical and hematological variables. Methods: This case-control s...
متن کاملPain measurement in hospitalized adults with sickle cell painful episodes.
The intensity, spatial distribution, and description of pain during the evolution of painful crises were studied in 23 hospitalized adult patients with sickle cell anemia during 60 acute painful episodes. The 10 cm Visual Analog Scale was used to measure the intensity of pain. The average pain severity score upon admission was 9.5 +/- 0.63 (mean +/- SD) and upon discharge was 4.8 +/- 0.97. The ...
