A novel discriminant algorithm for differential diagnosis of mild to moderate thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia.

BACKGROUND: Mild to moderate thalassemia trait (TT) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are the most common conditions of microcytic hypochromic anemia (MHA) and they exhibit highly similar clinical and laboratory features. It is sometimes difficult to make a differential diagnosis between TT and IDA in clinical practice. Therefore, a simple, effective, and reliable index is needed to discriminate between TT and IDA. METHODS: Data of 598 patients (320 for TT and 278 for IDA) were enrolled and randomly assigned to training set (278 of 598, 70%) and validation set (320 of 598, 30%). Stepwise discr…

Conservative management of segmental testicular infarction in a patient with sickle cell anemia: A case report.

Vaso-occlusive crisis is a sequela of sickle cell disease that can lead to severe pain and infarction at the location of occlusion. In men, genitourinary complications include priapism, hematuria, and very rarely, testicular infarction. Few cases have been previously reported in the literature, but in all of those cases, partial or complete orchiectomy was performed. We report the first known case of segmental testicular infarct secondary to sickle cell disease treated with medical management without need for surgical intervention.

Risk analysis of air pollutants and types of anemia: a UK Biobank prospective cohort study.

Previous studies have suggested that exposure to air pollutants may be associated with specific blood indicators or anemia in certain populations. However, there is insufficient epidemiological data and prospective evidence to evaluate the relationship between environmental air pollution and specific types of anemia. We conducted a large-scale prospective cohort study based on the UK Biobank. Annual average concentrations of NO2, PM2.5, PM2.5-10, and PM10 were obtained from the ESCAPE study using the Land Use Regression (LUR) model. The association between atmospheric pollutants and different …
