Fat Embolism Syndrome in Three Adolescents With Sickle Cell Disease
To describe clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management of fat embolism syndrome (FES) in adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD).
Comparative Assessment of Biologic (Flow Adhesion of Whole Blood to P-selectin) and Clinical Response to Crizanlizumab in a Real-world Clinical Setting
To evaluate whether a biologicmarker — flow adhesion of whole blood to P-selectin (FA-WB-PSEL) — correlates with clinical outcomes inpatients with sickle cell disease treated with crizanlizumab.
Altered Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Sickle Cell Disease: Insights Into Pain Sensitivity and Cerebral Hemodynamics
To investigate whether alterations in resting-state functional connectivity are associated with pain sensitivity and cognitive changes in sickle cell disease (SCD).
Non-Myeloablative Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Improves Organ Morphology and Function in a Murine Model of Sickle Cell Disease
To assess whether non-myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation can affect the progression of multi-organ damage in a preclinical sickle cell disease model.
Correlation of Noninvasive Hemoglobin Measurement to Vaso-occlusive Crises in Patients With Sickle Cell Disease
To evaluate whether frequent home-based hemoglobin monitoring using nailbed optical measurement via a smartphone application could identify physiologic trends associated with the onset of vaso-occlusive crises in adults with sickle...
Levagen+ Ameliorates Hyperalgesia in a Mouse Model of Sickle Cell Disease
To evaluate whether palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a non-intoxicating lipid mediator related to cannabinoid signaling, could reduce pain hypersensitivity and inflammatory activity in sickle cell disease (SCD).
