The efficacy of hydroxyurea in decreasing transfusion requirements and hospital admission in children with sickle cell diseaseMackinnon, Diane 20 May 2014 (has links)
The burden of sickle cell disease lies in Africa where
resources are limited . Hydroxyurea may be an affordable
treatmentoption for these patients.
Purpose
To asses whether hydroxyurea has any effect in reducing
vaso-occlusive crises, hospitalization and transfusion
requirements in children with homozygous sickle cell

Previous issue date: 2007 / Analisa os estudos médicos brasileiros sobre a anemia falciforme publicados nas décadas de 1930 e 1940. Esta dissertação orienta-se pela compreensão da relação entre sangue, doença e raça no pensamento médico brasileiro dos anos de 1930 e 1940, quando a anemia falciforme era considerada uma enfermidade que se observava principalmente, pela presença de hemácias falciformes no sangue e por uma variedade de sintomas clínicos, sobretudo pela anemia. Como a freqüência desta doença era maior nos negros do que nos brancos, a anemia falciforme era qualificada geralmente como uma doença racial.

Semi-quantificação cintilográfica de defeitos perfusionais em portadores de Doença Falciforme. Comparação com sintomas clínicosSantos, Vitor Vasquez dos January 2019 (has links)
Orientador: Sonia Marta Moriguchi / Resumo: Introdução: A doença falciforme (DF) é a doença monogênica herdada mais comum no mundo. Acometimentos cardiopulmonares de caráter progressivo associados à vaso oclusão e fenômenos embólicos assim como, as exacerbações de sintomas respiratórios são causas recorrentes de internações nessa população. A cintilografia de perfusão é método de imagem sensível e consagrado para avaliação hipoperfusão pulmonar, notadamente em processos embólicos. A semi-quantiticação da porcentagem de obstrução vascular de perfusão (POVF) apresenta relação segura com a angiografia. Objetivo: 1) Verificar a correlação entre os sintomas clínicos (Classes funcionais) versus Porcentagem de defeitos perfusionais (POVF%) em portadores de DF e 2) Verificar a associação entre POVF% e espirometria, avaliada pela porcentagem da capacidade vital forçada do predito (CVF%). Casuística e Metodologia Trata-se de estudo transversal observacional descritivo de 22 portadores de Doença Falciforme (DF), com coleta retrospectiva de dados clínicos e de espirometria, no período de 2017-2019 e semi-quantificação da cintilografia de perfusão pulmonar (POVF%), CF de I a IV e CVF% Análise estatística descritiva e inferenciais (Coeficiente de correlação – CC), com nível de significância com p<0,05. Resultados: Foram observados cinco subtipos de DF: SS (n=13), BSB0 (n=04), SS+alfatalassemia (n=02), SS+ fetal elevada (n=02) e SC (n=1). A cintilografia de perfusão pulmonar foi sensível identificando defeitos perfusionais em 91% da ...

Cardiopulmonary complications of a progressive character, associated with vessel occlusion and embolic phenomena, such as, exacerbations of respiratory symptoms are recurrent causes of hospitalization in this population. Perfusion scintigraphy is a sensitive and conspicuous imaging method for evaluating pulmonary hypoperfusion, especially in embolic processes. The semi-quantification of the percentage of vascular perfusion obstruction (POVF) presents a safe relationship with angiography. Objective: 1) To verify the correlation between clinical symptoms (functional classes- FC) versus percentage of perfusion defects (POVF%) in patients with CSD and 2) to verify the association between POVF% and spirometry, evaluated by the percentage of forced vital capacity predicted VCF%). MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY This was a descriptive, observational cross-sectional study of 22 patients with SCD, with retrospective collection of clinical data and spirometry data for the period 2017-2019 and semi-quantification of pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy (POVF%) , FC from I to IV and VCF% Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (Coefficient of correlation - CC), with level of significance with p <0.05. Results: Five subtypes of SCD: SS (n = 13), BSB0 (n = 04), SS + alphatassemia (n = 02), high fetal SS + (n = 02) and SC (n = 1) were observed. Pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy was sensitive b...
