Plasmodium falciparum infecting hemoglobin (Hb)H and/or Hb Constant Spring erythrocytes has higher resistance to artemisinin in vitro than when infecting normal erythrocytes. This is due to low drug accumulation of infected erythrocytes resulting from competition with uninfected variant erythrocytes, which have a higher accumulation capacity than genetically normal cells. Drug accumulation of the parasite was shown to be saturable and dependent on metabolic energy. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) for the parasite in HbH/Hb Constant Spring erythrocytes were decreased when normal erythrocytes were added to the infected cells, and correspondingly, the IC50s in normal erythrocytes were increased when HbH/Hb Constant Spring erythrocytes were added to the infected cells. The changes of IC50 corresponded to the variation in drug accumulation of mixtures of normal and variant erythrocytes of different compositions. The IC50s for the parasite in variant erythrocytes were also greatly ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Erythrocyte alterations in hemoglobin H disease. AU - Szelényi, J.. AU - Lelkes, G.. AU - Horányi, M.. AU - Földi, J.. AU - Szász, I.. AU - Hollán, S.. PY - 1981. Y1 - 1981. N2 - This study on erythrocytes in hemoglobin H (Hb-H) disease reveals that unstable Hb-H is bound to membranes to a greater extent, especially when it forms methemoglobin or is precipitated as an inclusion body. The methemoglobin content of these erythrocytes is elevated in spite of a higher activity of NADH-methemoglobin reductase. The ATPase activity is doubled and ATP is presumably used for phosphorylation of membrane proteins, which leads to cross-linking of membrane proteins. This assumption could be supported by the observed decrease in non-electrolyte permeability, by increased binding of hemoglobin to the membrane, and polymerisation of membrane proteins detected by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. By means of electron microscopy, it could also be shown that the inclusion bodies are bound ...

Four main conditions resulting from deletion or inactivation (nondeletion mutants) of one, two, three, or all four alpha-globin genes are recognized. Carriers of alpha0-thalassemia (two deleted alpha-globin genes, ie, alpha-thalassemia trait) show microcytosis, hypochromia, and normal percentages of HbA2 and HbF, carriers of alpha+-thalassemia (one deleted or nonfunctional alpha-globin gene, ie, alpha-thalassemia silent carrier) have either a silent hematologic phenotype or present with a moderate thalassemia-like hematologic picture. Two are the alpha-thalassemia clinically significant forms: Hb Bart hydrops fetalis syndrome and HbH disease (four and three deleted or nonfunctional alpha-globin genes, respectively). Hb Bart hydrops fetalis syndrome is the most severe form, characterized by fetal onset of generalized edema, pleural and pericardial effusions, and severe hypochromic anemia, in the absence of ABO or Rh blood group incompatibility. Death usually occurs in the neonatal period. HbH ...

There are at least 4 different and distinct alpha-thalassaemias: silent carrier (1 affected alpha-globin gene), alpha-thalassaemia trait (2 affected alpha-globin genes), Hb H disease (typically 3 affected alpha-globin genes), and Hb Bart hydrops fetalis syndrome (typically deletion of all 4 alpha...

Home-based hospitalization (HBH) offers an alternative delivery model to hospital care. There has been a remarkable increase in pilot initiatives and deployment of this model to optimize services offered to a population with a variety of progressive and chronic diseases. Our objectives were to systematically summarize the indicators of HBH as well as the factors associated with the successful implementation and use of this model. We used a two-stage process. First, five databases were consulted, with no date delimitation. We included systematic reviews of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed studies published in English, French, Spanish, or Portuguese. We followed guidance from PRISMA and the Cochrane Collaboration. Second, we used the Nursing Care Performance Framework to categorize the indicators, a comprehensive grid of barriers and facilitators to map the factors affecting HBH implementation, and a thematic synthesis of the qualitative and quantitative findings. Fifteen reviews were selected. We

Hemoglobin Constant Spring is a variant of Hemoglobin in which a mutation in the alpha globin gene produces an alpha globin chain that is abnormally long. It is the most common nondeletional alpha-thalassemia mutation associated with hemoglobin H disease. The quantity of hemoglobin in the cells is low because the messenger RNA is unstable and some is degraded prior to protein synthesis. Another reason is that the Constant Spring alpha chain protein is itself unstable. The result is a thalassemic phenotype. Hemoglobin Constant Spring is renamed after Constant Spring district in Jamaica. Hemoglobin variants Hemoglobinopathy Thalassemia What is Thalassemia?

Analysis of DNA from members of a Melanesian family from Papua New Guinea with haemoglobin (Hb) H disease revealed that all four alpha globin genes are intact in affected subjects. Study of restriction enzyme site and length polymorphisms and the use of oligonucleotide probes indicated that the molecular basis of this Papuan form of non-deletion Hb H disease differs from the previously described Middle Eastern and Mediterranean types.

Alpha-thalassemia is very common throughout all tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean regions, compound heterozygotes and homozygotes may have anemia that is mild to severe (hemoglobin [Hb] H disease) or lethal (Hb Barts hydrops fetalis). We have developed a reliable, single-tube multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the 6 most frequently observed determinants of alpha-thalassemia. The assay allows simple, high throughput genetic screening for these common hematological disorders. (Blood. 2000;95:360-362)

Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography measures cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFv) of basal intracranial vessels and is used clinically to detect stroke risk in children with sickle cell anaemia (SCA). Co-inheritance in SCA of alpha-thalassaemia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) polymorphisms is reported to associate with high CBFv and/or risk of stroke. The effect of a common functional polymorphism of haptoglobin (HP) is unknown. We investigated the effect of co-inheritance of these polymorphisms on CBFv in 601 stroke-free Tanzanian SCA patients aged |24 years. Homozygosity for alpha-thalassaemia 3·7 deletion was significantly associated with reduced mean CBFv compared to wild-type (β-coefficient -16·1 cm/s, P = 0·002) adjusted for age and survey year. Inheritance of 1 or 2 alpha-thalassaemia deletions was associated with decreased risk of abnormally high CBFv, compared to published data from Kenyan healthy control children (Relative risk ratio [RRR] = 0·53 [95% confidence interval (CI)

The prevalence of alpha-thalassaemias is up to 5% in Hong Kong and up to 40% in some parts of South East Asia. Haemoglobin H consists of four betaglobin chains. Instead of the usual complement of four normal alphaglobin genes (two on each chromosome 16), people with haemoglobin H disease have only one. At the other three alphaglobin gene sites, they have either three deletions or two deletions and one mutation. Now, work in Hong Kong (New England Journal of Medicine2000;343:544-50) has shown that those with a mutation have more severe disease but iron overload is equally a problem in both types.. Eight of 13 American and four of five French boys with cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy survived bone marrow transplantation at ages 5 to 11 years and were followed for five to ten years (Lancet2000;356:713-18). Verbal intelligence remained normal in 11 and non-verbal abilities remained stable or improved in seven. Eight showed continuing demyelination on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but later ...

Thalassaemia is the name for a group of inherited conditions that affect a substance in the blood called haemoglobin.. People with thalassaemia produce either no or too little haemoglobin, which is used by red blood cells to carry oxygen around the body. This can make them very anaemic (tired, short of breath and pale).. It mainly affects people of Mediterranean, south Asian, southeast Asian and Middle Eastern origin.. There are different types of thalassaemia, which can be divided into alpha and beta thalassaemias. Beta thalassaemia major is the most severe type. Other types include beta thalassaemia intermedia, alpha thalassaemia major and haemoglobin H disease.. Its also possible to be a carrier of thalassaemia, also known as having the thalassaemia trait. Being a beta thalassaemia carrier will not generally cause you any health problems, but youre at risk of having children with thalassaemia.. ...

Alpha-thalassemia is a fairly common blood disorder that results in reduced amounts of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cell in the body. This lowers the amount of oxygen that cells receive, causing various health problems, including anemia. There are two types of alpha-thalassemia that can cause serious health problems and two types that can cause mild symptoms. The most serious is called hemoglobin Bart. Fetuses affected with hemoglobin Bart usually do not survive beyond the newborn period. While still in the uterus, they experience health complications, including swelling, fluid buildup around the organs, heart defects and genital abnormalities. The mothers of these fetuses experience health complications including preeclampsia, (extreme hypertension), excessive amniotic fluid or reduced amniotic fluid, bleeding in the genital tract, and premature delivery. Due to the lack of very effective treatment and severe complications, termination of these pregnancies ...

Moderate one-off hypobaric hypoxia (HBH) provokes preconditioning and prolongs the resistance (T, the time before apnoea) to severe hypobaric hypoxia (SHBH). Hypoxic preconditioning has therapeutic potential; however, the efficiency of hypoxic preconditioning varies greatly and the methods for its preliminary evaluation are absent in both animals and humans. This rodent study evaluates the dependence of SHBH resistance, initiated by HBH, on the rate of sensorimotor gating estimated in the model of the acoustic startle prepulse inhibition (PPI). A stable negative correlation was found between PPI and T. Low doses of the α7 nicotinic receptor agonist, PNU-282987 (PNU), and more pronouncedly dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (a PNU solvent), inverted the correlation between PPI and T from negative to positive. The DMSO and PNU effects were reversed at PPIs of 0.36 - 0.40 (36% - 40%). DMSO increased T values by 52.2% ± 9.7% in the region of lower HBH efficiency (PPI ≥ 0.40) and reduced it by 35.2% ± 9.3% in

Hello! I would like to know if my elevated RBC count is cause for concern or simply a result from my low MVC and MCH, probably due to having Thalassemia trait? My mom recently almost died from a massive MI so Im just concerned that the high count might be related to possible heart disease. Is the number actually high or just slightly elevated and nothing to worry about? I had labwork done because Ive been severely fatigued, dizzy, and experiencing heavy pressure in my head daily . Its been going on for 2 yrs now. TSH is normal. I have what appears to be a blood clot behind my knee but am not overly concerned because it seems to be in the shallow vein. Any info is very much appreciated as I do not have a doctor or insurance yet. Heres my info ...

A member of the National Association of Algerian Exporters, Mahdi Boukadoura, hailed the decision of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, during the Council of Ministers the day before yesterday, to combat the exacerbation of the phenomenon of leasing containers and the exorbitant costs associated with delay fines resulting from not returning them in short periods, and in return demanded a set of facilities to solve logistical problems at the port level.. Boukadoura said in a statement to Echorouk that the cost of selling one container with the lowest price exceeds $ 2000, while its leasing reaches fictional prices, despite the possibility of manufacturing it locally by national public companies in the field of iron and steel, inherited from the stage of the industrial revolution.. Mahdi Boukadoura explained that the container crisis, which worsened during the Corona virus period, and increased its severity at the global market level due to the paralysis that the maritime ...

The pathophysiology of the thalassemias can be traced to the deleterious effects of the globin-chain subunits that are produced in excess. In β-thalassemia, excess α chains cause damage to the red cell precursors and red cells and lead to profound anemia. This causes expansion of the ineffective marrow, with severe effects on development, bone formation, and growth. The major cause of morbidity and mortality is the effect of iron deposition in the endocrine organs, liver, and heart, which results from increased intestinal absorption and the effects of blood transfusion. The pathophysiology of the α-thalassemias is different because the excess β chains that result from defective α-chain production form β4 molecules, or hemoglobin H, which is soluble and does not precipitate in the marrow. However, it is unstable and precipitates in older red cells. Hence, the anemia of α-thalassemia is hemolytic rather than dyserythropoietic. ...

Epidemiological and clinical studies have indicated that the thalassaemias may confer protection against malaria. The study reported here investigated this protective effect in vitro, using a new approach which controls for the potential effect of red cell size and age on the virulence of the parasite. A Percoll density gradient method was used to separate alpha- and beta-thalassaemic trait, haemoglobin H and normal red blood cells (RBC) into fractions of different density. Correlations between RBC density, age and size in fractions of all genotypes were established using red cell creatine as an index of cell age. The development of Plasmodium falciparum over 3 erythrocytic cycles (144 h) in whole blood as well as fractionated samples was monitored by slide microscopy and flow cytometry. A significantly reduced rate of parasite invasion and growth was demonstrated in RBC from all thalassaemic genotypes tested. Poor reinvasion rates were noted in the second and third cycles. Increased duration of culture
