Oxyhemoglobin desaturation in patients with sickle cell disease has been proposed as a possible mechanism in the initiaton of vasco-occlusive pain crises. Nocturnal oxyhemoglobin desaturation (NOD) has been described with a prevalence of up to 40% in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease
To determine if glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is associated with brain injury in children with sickle cell disease (SCD), we measured plasma GFAP among cross-sectional groups of unselected children with SCD, subsets of children with SCD and normal brain MRI or MRI evidence of cerebral infar
An early differential diagnosis between bone infarction and osteomyelitis in sickle cell patients is practically impossible using routine laboratory methods. Twenty radioisotope studies in sickle cell patients during vaso-occlusive crises, were analyzed. A three stage process can be described. In th
