Association of Copper, Zinc, Copper-to-zinc ratio and Disease Severity Scores in Sickle Cell Anemia: An Observational Analytical Study.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the amount of serum copper, zinc, and copper-to-zinc ratio in sickle cell anemia patients and healthy subjects and to relate the parameters with an objective disease severity score. Further, to see the correlation between copper and zinc levels with fetal hemoglobin level in sickle cell anemia (SCA) subjects in both stable state and during the crisis.

Materials And Methods: Copper and zinc levels in serum of 100 SCA and 100 healthy subjects were measured using commercially available kits.

Interplay between Lung Diseases and Viral Infections: A Comprehensive Review.

The intricate relationship between chronic lung diseases and viral infections is a significant concern in respiratory medicine. We explore how pre-existing lung conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and interstitial lung diseases, influence susceptibility, severity, and outcomes of viral infections. We also examine how viral infections exacerbate and accelerate the progression of lung disease by disrupting immune responses and triggering inflammatory pathways.

Hospitalization Events Among Adolescents and Adults With Sickle Cell Disease in a Tertiary Care Center in Central India.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited red blood cell disorder, wherein mutation causes the substitution of glutamic acid to valine at the sixth position of the β-globin chain. These include sickle cell anemia (homozygous sickle mutation), sickle-beta thalassemia, and hemoglobin SCD. The clinical manifestations of SCD are protean.
