The actual protocol for SCA patients admitted with fever is to obtain blood cultures and start empiric antibiotic treatment.
The study cohort included 60 SCA patients actually treated in the Pediatric Hematology Unit.
Primary objective:
1) To determine disease free survival (DFS) at one year after matched sibling transplant using either bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), or umbilical cord blood (UCB) after a conditioning regimen consisting of Alemtuzumab, Fludarabine, and Melphalan in patients
Gall bladder status among children with chronic haemolytic anemia attending to Assuit University Children Hospital Hemolysis is defined as the premature destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) (a shortened RBC life span). Anemia results when the rate of destruction exceeds the capacity of the marrow
Anemia and transfusion are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in the cardiac surgical patient population. Even so, active preoperative anemia management is not currently the standard of care at our institution. Cost associated with erythrocyte transfusions at University of Texas
The clinical diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy is made from history, physical examination, and noninvasive testing. The initial clinical manifestations of dilated heart failure are generally those of respiratory distress secondary to congestion of the pulmonary and systemic venous
This is a community-based randomised double-blind trial. Children aged 6-23 months are randomised to receive either iron (n=91), iron and zinc (IZ, n=90) or MMN (n=89), 5 days/week for 6 months. Supplements are manufactured by Nutriset (Malaunay, France) as specifically fortified "plumpy-nut". They
Objectives
1. To assess the effectiveness of monthly prophylaxis with S/P on haematological recovery in children who have been treated for severe anaemia.
2. To measure compliance with the intervention
3. To investigate whether or not infection with chloroquine and S/P resistant strains contributes
The aim of this study is to check whether treatment with drug which inhibits the hydrogen pump and therefore decreases acidity, will reduce the iron's absorption in patients with CDA TYPE I and whether it will be possible to use it for a period instead of giving drugs which have much more adverse
The primary objectives of this trial are: (i) show non-inferiority of IHAT compared to ferrous sulphate for efficacy (in terms of Hb and iron deficiency correction); (ii) show superiority of IHAT compared to ferrous sulphate in terms of moderate-severe diarrhoea (incidence and prevalence); (iii)
The hypothesis is that distributing HOMAPAK directly to caretakers is more acceptable to the community, cost effective and results in reduced malaria morbidity among children < 5 years than distribution through CDDs.
General Objective:
To compare the communities malaria seeking behaviour in the two
BACKGROUND:
For over 20 years children with sickle cell anemia have been known to have an increased susceptibility to severe bacterial infection, particularly due to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Meningitis, pneumonia and septicemia due to this organism have been recognized as the major causes of death
The use of hematopoietic growth factors have been shown to reduce neutropenic complications and red cell transfusion requirements associated with chemotherapy. This trial will study the combination of pegfilgrastim and darbepoetin alfa administered once per cycle of chemotherapy. Prior experience
Prior to Iron treatment Investigator will sample subject blood for: counting blood, iron sector indices, renal function, electrolytes, and measure the level of ghrelin fasting plasma. In addition, the patient will fill a structured questionnaire that examines appetite levels. participants will be
1. Background
Chronic cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is mediated by monoclonal cold-reactive autoantibodies that bind to erythrocyte surface antigens, causing haemagglutination and complement-mediated haemolysis. Anaemia is severe (Hb 8.0 g/dL or lower) in one-third of patients and complement-induced
