In Southeast Asia alpha-thalassemia, beta-thalassemia, hemoglobin (Hb) E and Hb Constant Spring are prevalent. The gene frequencies of alpha-thalassemia reach 30-40% in Northern Thailand and Laos. beta-Thalassemia gene frequencies vary between 1 and 9%. Hb E is the hallmark of Southeast Asia attaining a frequency of 50-60% at the junction of Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Hb Constant Spring gene...
Thalassemia is a congenital hemolytic anemia prevalent in Asian and Mediterranean races. The homozygous state results in thalassemia major or Cooley's anemia, and such patients are transfusion-dependent. A less severe syndrome, thalassemia intermedia, may be due to compound heterozygosity for /3-thalassemia and /3 variant (e.g., hemoglobin E [HbE]) genes and is characterized by anemia, jaundice...
Background Regular transfusion in thalassemia major patients increases life expectancy and improves quality of life, but results in iron overload, which had toxic effects to organs including endocrine glands. The introduction of iron chelation therapy has reduced its toxicity, but complications may still occur. In Indonesia, most of our patients did not receive optimal iron chelation therapy, w...
The present research analyzed the elements of thalassemia which affect the patient's perceived quality of life. Three hundred patients with Thalassemia Major (males = 165, 55%; females = 135, 45%; Mage = 36.13, standard deviation = 8.54) were the sample. Analysis of multiple mediations revealed a direct effect of self-efficacy on the Satisfaction with Life Scale that is mediated only by social ...
background: beta-thalassemia is considered to be the most frequent hereditary blood disorder worldwide. lipid abnormalities have been detected in different types of beta-thalassemia . the aim of this study is to assess the lipid profiles in beta-thalassemia major (btm) and beta-thalassemia intermedia (bti) patients in southern iran. methods: the study group consisted of 55 btm patients and 50 b...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Alpha (α) thalassemia is a hereditary disorder and is caused by deletions or mutations in globin genes. It is present in two clinically significant forms: hemoglobin Bart hydrops fetalis (Hb Bart) syndrome and hemoglobin H (HbH) disease. It is highly prevalent in South-East Asia or Mediterranean countries. The most common deletion reported in alpha thalassemia in Pakistan...
Background and purpose: Thalassemia is a preventable genetic disorder that is a major health problem. It is now two decades since implementation of the national program for preventing β-thalassemia major in Iran. This study was conducted to compare the costs and results of this program from 2010 to 2014 in Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. Materials and methods: Economic evaluation...
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess myocardial performance index (MPI) and arterial elasticity indices in asymptomatic patients with beta-thalassemia major without known heart disease and to determine relationship between these indices and parameters indicating iron load of body. METHODS The study included 55 asymptomatic beta-thalassemia patients (median age: 20 years (10 - 48 years)) with...
Background: Quality of life (QoL) is a complicated phenomenon in patients with thalassemia major. This study was conducted to clarify the concept of QoL in patients with thalassemia major. Materials and Methods: This study was performed using Roger’s evolutionary method. Electronic databases:<...
Beta-thalassemia is due to a defect in the synthesis of the beta-globin chains, leading to alpha/beta imbalance, ineffective erythropoiesis, and chronic anemia. The spectrum of thalassemias is wide, with one end comprising thalassemia minor, which consists of a mild hypochromic microcytic anemia with no obvious clinical manifestations, while on the other end is thalassemia major, characterized ...
