Blood transfusions for treating acute chest syndrome in people with sickle cell disease | CochraneBlood transfusions for treating acute chest syndrome in people with sickle cell disease | Cochrane
Review question We reviewed the effectiveness of blood transfusions, simple and exchange, for treating acute chest syndrome by comparing improvement in symptoms and clinical outcomes against standard care. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2010.. Background Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood condition affecting over 250 million people worldwide and is particularly common in Sub-Saharan Africa, South and Central America, Saudi Arabia, India and a number of Mediterranean countries. It is characterised by the presence of sickle-shaped red blood cells which are capable of blocking the blood vessels causing pain and severe damage to several organs of the body. People with sickle cell disease may have the acute onset of chest problems which may include fever, this is called acute chest syndrome. It may have several different causes which include infection and blockage of blood vessels. Fever, coughing, shortness of breath which are accompanied with chest pain are the ...

Preventing Acute Chest Syndrome by Transfusion Feasibility Study - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.govPreventing Acute Chest Syndrome by Transfusion Feasibility Study - Tabular View - ClinicalTrials.gov
SCD is an inherited blood disorder, and symptoms include anemia, infections, organ damage, and intense episodes of pain, which are called sickle cell crises. ACS, characterized by fever, respiratory distress, and lung tissue damage, is the second most common cause of hospitalization and the leading cause of death among people with SCD. Most people with SCD will experience at least one episode of ACS, and repeated episodes can result in progressive lung disease. ACS can appear suddenly and often requires immediate hospitalization and treatment, which can include blood transfusions. People with elevated blood levels of sPLA2 may be at risk for developing ACS, and this enzyme is often detectable before the onset of ACS symptoms. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of sPLA2 as a predictor of ACS and to determine whether subsequent blood transfusions can be administered early enough to prevent the onset of ACS in people with SCD who are at risk for ACS. Study researchers will also ...

Everyday E(B)M: Steroids for Acute Chest Syndrome?Everyday E(B)M: Steroids for Acute Chest Syndrome?
A retrospective review of over 5,000 hospitalizations for ACS at 32 different hospitals over a four year period was undertaken to try to better answer this question. This group found that pediatric patients admitted with ACS who received corticosteroids had longer LOS (8.0 days vs 5.2 days, p , 0.0001) and higher readmission rates (4.4% vs 1.9%) with an OR of 2.4 (95% CI 1.6-3.5) [1]. This study also found considerable variation in use of steroids among the 32 hospitals reviewed, anywhere from 10-86%. The patients who received steroids seemed to be a sicker cohort, as steroid use was associated with comorbid asthma, use of supplemental oxygen, use of inhaled nitric oxide, ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, and higher illness severity score. However, the increased LOS and readmission rate trends remained significant even when the authors attempted to control for these factors with propensity score modeling. Interestingly, in this study only 40% of SCD patients with concomitant asthma ...

It is disappointing that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidance on managing an acute painful sickle cell episode in hospital did not advocate incentive spirometry as an effective, simple, and cheap (about £14 (€18; $22)) non-pharmacological intervention,1 2 given that up to 54% of inpatients currently receive it as standard care.3 It involves awake patients taking 10 maximal inspirations every two hours.. Randomised data in patients presenting with chest or back pain show an absolute risk reduction of 36.8% (95% confidence interval 12.5% to 61.2%) for pulmonary complications (associated with the development of acute chest syndrome) and reduced hospital admission.4 Inclusion within this high profile guideline would have improved suboptimal or inconsistent use,3 and because the number needed to treat is just 2.7 (1.6 to 8.0) would have immediately benefited patients and budgets. ...

To the Editor: De Luna et al 1 recently reported a favorable outcome of an acute chest syndrome (ACS) related to a SARS‐Cov‐2 infection treated with tocilizumab (TCZ), in a 45‐year‐old male patient with homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD). Following this successful observation, TCZ was administered to a teenage girl with SCD who developed a severe COVID‐19 associating ACS and pulmonary embolism. This 16‐year‐old girl has a severe form of homozygous SCD with bilateral ischemic retinopathy. Given the recurrence of vaso‐occlusive crises and abnormal transcranial doppler evaluations, she was treated with exchange transfusions from 5 to 11 years old, switched thereafter for hydroxyurea (22 mg/kg/day), with a favorable clinical outcome on vaso‐occlusive events. She had no history of ACS or pulmonary hypertension, and her respiratory function and chest radiography were previously normal. As recommended by the French authorities, because

Respiratory infection is a common precipitant of a sickle crisis but pathogens are rarely detected. In one study an identifiable pathogen was isolated in just over 30% of episodes,1 but this figure is dependent on how hard one looks. The two most common organisms were Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma (mostly M pneumoniae and occasionally M hominis). Children suffered more infections with respiratory syncytial virus and parvovirus. Pneumococcus or Staphylococcus were less common, even though most patients are hyposplenic. However, in the reported study patients with chlamydial infections were less likely to be taking prophylactic antibiotics. Many of the cases of infection also had evidence of marrow infarction.1 Since atypical organisms predominate, a strong case can be made for treatment with macrolide antibiotics as the first line treatment when infection is thought to be the cause. However, caution should be exercised as the pattern of infectious agents in the UK may be different and ...

SANGUINATE™, currently in clinical testing, is an investigational bio-pharmaceutical product that facilitates the transfer of oxygen to oxygen-deprived cells and tissues focusing on treating the comorbidities of sickle cell disease and other disorders caused by anemia or hypoxia/ischemia.. SANGUINATE is the only biological product currently in clinical development for the multiple comorbidities of SCD, and recently received an Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. FDA. Many of the comorbidities of SCD are caused by a spiraling cycle of sickling, hemolysis and blood vessel inflammation. These comorbidities include vaso-occlusive crisis, acute chest syndrome, leg ulcers and pediatric and adult stroke. By correcting oxygen levels and down-regulating inflammation, SANGUINATE has the promise of effectively treating many of the debilitating, acute comorbidities associated with Sickle Cell Disease.. Phase I studies in healthy volunteers and stable SCD patients have been completed. SANGUINATE is now ...

In recent years, evidence has increased that asthma predisposes to complications of sickle cell disease (SCD), such as pain crises, acute chest syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, and stroke, and is associated with increased mortality. An obstructive pattern of pulmonary function, along with a higher-than-expected prevalence of airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) when compared to the general population, has led some researchers to suspect that underlying hemolysis may contribute to the development of a pulmonary disease similar to asthma in patients with SCD. While the pathophysiologic mechanism in atopic asthma involves up-regulation of Th2 cytokines, mast cell- and eosinophil-driven inflammation, plus increased activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and arginase in airway epithelium resulting in obstructive changes and AHR, the exact mechanisms of AHR, obstructive and restrictive lung disease in SCD is unclear. It is known that SCD is associated with a proinflammatory state and an ...

HEART might offer a way to discharge low-risk chest pain patients early and reduce objective cardiac testing, according to findings published March 3. While early discharge with no increase in major adverse events would be a coup, some are not convinced that reducing cardiac testing rates overall is feasible.

INTRODUCTION: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an autosomal recessive illness caused by the formation of abnormal hemoglobin S. Sickle cell disease has many complications such as vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), gallstones, stroke, acute chest syndrome (ACS), and others. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to describe the epidemiology and characteristics of sickle cell patients admitted to hospitals in Jazan region. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study conducted in four hospitals in Jazan region including King Fahad Central Hospital, Prince Mohammed Bin Nasser Hospital, Sabya, and Abu-Arish General Hospital to estimate the prevalence of admitted sickle cell patients and their characteristics. All patients admitted to medicine and pediatric wards from July 15, 2018, to August 15, 2018, were included in the study. Data were collected by interview. RESULTS: Four hundred and two of 446 patients have agreed to participate with a response rate of 90%. Ninety-one (22.6%) were SCA patients, among them, 45 ...

Opportunities to Improve Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease - American Family PhysicianOpportunities to Improve Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease - American Family Physician
Sickle cell disease represents a spectrum of inherited hemoglobin disorders. The pathophysiology involves abnormalities not just in red blood cells but also vascular endothelium, white blood cell function, coagulation, and inflammatory response. Known sequelae of sickle cell disease include invasive infections, painful episodes, acute chest syndrome, strokes, and chronic pulmonary hypertension. Preventive strategies that decrease the risk of infection are the routine use of daily antibiotics until five years of age, immunization of children with the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in addition to the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine, annual influenza vaccination after six months of age, and meningococcal vaccination after two years of age. A significant advance in stroke prevention is the use of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography to identify asymptomatic, at-risk children who should be considered for chronic blood transfusions. Chronic transfusion therapy for primary or secondary

Dual Case Report of Hemoglobin SC Disease in Pregnancy | MedCraveDual Case Report of Hemoglobin SC Disease in Pregnancy | MedCrave
HbSC disease causes symptoms similar to those of homozygous (SS) sickle cell anemia (SCA) such as vaso-occlusive episodes and organ damage [2] with milder severity and less frequency [2,6,13]. Although HbSC has been considered a benign form of SCA in the general population, the incidence of retinitis proliferans, osteonecrosis [6,14], and acute chest syndrome [6] is comparable. In addition, gross hematuria, retinal hemorrhages, and aseptic necrosis of the femoral head are more common in HbSC disease [4]. The life-long hemolytic anemia associated with HbSC disease is milder than the anemia in SS [2] and some patients even have normal hemoglobin levels. This is evidenced by the red cell life-span being approximately two-fold higher in HbSC than in SCA patients (28.9 days vs 15 days, respectively) [15,16]. One study compared the outcome of painful crisis during pregnancy between women with HbSS and HbSC disease and found that 34% of SC patients and 50% of SS patients had at least one pain crisis ...

Precision Medicine for Sickle Cell Disease: Discovery of Genetic Targets for Drug Development | IntechOpenPrecision Medicine for Sickle Cell Disease: Discovery of Genetic Targets for Drug Development | IntechOpen
Sickle cell disease (SCD) consists of inherited monogenic hemoglobin disorders affecting over three million people worldwide. Efforts to establish precision medicine based on the discovery of genetic polymorphisms associated with disease severity are ongoing to inform strategies for novel drug design. Numerous gene mutations have been associated with the clinical complications of SCD such as frequency of pain episodes, acute chest syndrome, and stroke among others. However, these discoveries have not produced additional treatment options. To date, Hydroxyurea remains the only Food and Drug Administration-approved agent for treating adults with SCD; recently it was demonstrated to be safe and effective in children. The main action of Hydroxyurea is the induction of fetal hemoglobin, a potent modifier of SCD clinical severity. Three inherited gene loci including XmnI-HBG2, HBS1L-MYB and BCL11A have been linked to HBG expression, however the greatest progress has been made to develop BCL11A as a

Innate immune cells, major protagonists of sickle cell disease pathophysiology | HaematologicaInnate immune cells, major protagonists of sickle cell disease pathophysiology | Haematologica
Neutrophils have long been suspected to be involved in the pathophysiology of SCD. The absolute neutrophil count is higher in SCD patients in steady-state than in ethnicity-matched healthy controls and is positively correlated with SCD severity.27 A high leukocyte count is also a risk factor for early death, acute chest syndrome (ACS), hemorrhagic stroke and sickle nephropathy.3128 Conversely, decreased neutrophil count may have positive effects, as suggested by a report of an alleviated SCD phenotype in a patient with associated congenital neutropenia who experienced the first episodes of VOC after the introduction of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to treat neutropenia.32 Thus, G-CSF and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) should be strictly avoided in SCD patients because myeloid growth factors are responsible for VOC and ACS.3433 Hydroxyurea may have clinical benefit for SCD patients even in the absence of elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level, but a ...

Y1 - 2016/3/4. N2 - We describe a case of delirium occurring in a hospitalized sickle cell patient. Following admission for a typical pain crisis, the patient continued to report unrelieved pain with marked agitation for several days, despite escalating doses of opioid analgesia, and ultimately required intubation following development of acute chest syndrome (ACS). After some delay, it was discovered that he had been using a synthetic cannabinoid (K2) which may have precipitated his pain crisis and, with hindsight, explained his prolonged period of delirium. Delayed recognition was due to multiple factors, notably the absence of an index of suspicion for this novel drug, the presence of alternate explanations for the patients altered mental status, and the fact that reliable laboratory screening for ...

Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is characterized by chest pain with dyspnea and recent radiologic abnormalities, and is an acute lung complication whose problem is one of etiology. Alveolar hypoventilation linked to infarcts of the thoracic ribs, thoracoabdominal trauma, subdiaphragmatic pain, the administration of analgesics causing respiratory depression, or sleep disturbance, is a frequent cause of ACS. Bronchoalveolar lavage has revealed the frequency of fat embolism following infarcts in the long bones. Pulmonary vascular occlusion, due to thrombosis or emboli, is rare, as are the infectious pneumonia and pulmonary edema. The pathogenetic mechanisms consist of an alteration of the rheological properties of the blood, the existence of an hypercoagulability state, specific interactions between the abnormal sickle cells and the vascular endothelium, and a dysregulation of the vascular reactivity. Research centered around NO biology has led to an expanded understanding of the critical interdependence of NO,

A vaso-occlusive device is introduced in a cavity of a patients vasculature, such as an aneurysm, after which an external energy source, such as a MRI machine is activated to heat the vaso-occlusive device to assist in forming a thrombus or embolism within the treatment site, to release and/or activate a diagnostic or therapeutic agent carried by the vaso-occlusive device, and/or to fuse together portions of the vaso-occlusive device to help stabilize the device in a three-dimensional shape.

HU increases HBF concentrations, and was shown in a landmark NEJM study in 1995 by Charache et. al to reduce morbidity by decreasing the number of painful crises from a median of 4.5 to 2.5 per year. Rates of ACS, blood transfusions also decreased, and time to painful crises also increased in the HU group. An observational follow up of 233 out of 299 of these patients 9 years later by Steinberg et. al from JAMA showed a mortality reduction of 40%. Lastly, one clue that might point to adherence, is that due to its effects, HU should cause an elevated MCV, and so certainly a low MCV might suggest non-adherence. ...
