Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Elva Eakins"
- Elva Eakins' research primarily centers on the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia (SCA) and its implications, including the mechanisms of hemolysis and vaso-occlusive events that arise from abnormal hemoglobin production due to genetic mutations.
- Her studies also explore the role of circulating microparticles, protein C, and free protein S in both sickle cell anemia and essential thrombocythemia, aiming to understand their interactions and impact on vascular health and thrombotic risks.
- Additionally, Eakins addresses clinical considerations related to sickle cell disease, including its prevalence in diverse populations and practical dental management for affected individuals, indicating a focus on improving healthcare for patients with SCA.
