Differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy (Nomarsky optics) readily demonstrates the formation of “pits” or crater-like depressions in red cell membranes of splenectomized individuals. Splenic reticuloendothelial dysfunction characteristic of many patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) can be demonstrated by technetium spleen scans, but this technique is expensive, requires injection...

Capture–recapture experiments are conducted to estimate population parameters such as size, survival rates, and capture rates. Typically, individuals captured given unique tags, then recaptured over several time periods with the assumption that these tags not lost. However, for some populations, tag loss cannot be assumed negligible. The Jolly-Seber model is used when no-tag-loss invalid. Furth...

Our local theatre is putting on 'relaxed performances' of its pantomime this season, for people with conditions such as dementia and autism.

In sickle cell anemia (SCA), the loss of reticuloendothelial function is the result of vasoocclusive events occurring in the spleen. Such asplenia occurs early in the course of the disease and is considered to be permanent in late childhood. In this report, three patients 10, 11, and 14 years of age suffering from severe SCA and found to be asplenic were treated by bone marrow transplantation (...
