Article Synopsis
- The study focused on managing acute pain in adults with sickle cell disease (SCD), particularly during vaso-occlusive crises (VOC), which occur when sickle cells block microvessels, leading to severe pain.* -
- An analysis of 118 cases revealed that most patients (86.61%) had the SS sickle cell phenotype, with predominant pain in the lower limbs and spine, and a majority experiencing intense to unbearable pain.* -
- The findings underscore the effectiveness of multimodal analgesia as a treatment approach, while also indicating significant variability in pain management practices, suggesting a need for tailored recommendations.*
The Hodgkin variant Richter syndrome (HvRS) is an infrequent complication occurring in 1% of lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.
