Data are reviewed describing hypoxemia, a newly identified feature in thalassemia. Evidence indicates platelet aggregation in the pulmonary circulation as being a key factor leading to hypoxemia and cor-pulmonale with right heart failure.

Undiagnosed mirror syndrome with maternal hypoxemia onset during an emergency cesarean section: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2024
Department of Perioperative Stress Management, Hirosaki, Japan.
Rationale: Mirror syndrome is a rare pregnancy condition in which maternal edema is associated with fetal hydrops. Because of its rarity and overlapping symptoms, this condition is often misdiagnosed as another pregnancy complication.
Patient Concerns: A 28-year-old pregnant Japanese woman presented with sudden 7.
The gut microbiota metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide in children with β-thalassemia: potential implication for iron-induced renal tubular dysfunction.
Pediatr Res

Medical Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Background: Renal tubular dysfunction is common in transfusion-dependent β thalassemia (β-TM). Iron overload, chronic anemia, and hypoxia are precipitating factors for renal insult. However, gut microbiota engagement in the renal insult has not been explored.

Dysregulation of macrophage polarization can prevent the invasion of trophoblast cells and further limit spiral artery remodeling in preeclampsia (PE). However, its mechanism is obscure. HTR8-/Svneo cells were cultured under normoxic or hypoxic conditions and extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the culture supernatants were extracted.

Division of Clinical Microscopy, Department of Medical Technology, Faculty of Associated Medical Sciences, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Article Synopsis
- Reactivating fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has potential benefits for patients with β-thalassemia by improving their clinical symptoms.
- Prolyl hydroxylase domain enzymes (PHDs), particularly PHD2, are important for oxygen sensing and maintaining the stability of HIF-α; inhibiting these enzymes can increase HbF production in cells.
- Using CRISPR to modify PHD2’s functional regions resulted in lower PHD2 expression and higher HbF levels in severe β-thalassemia, highlighting a new regulatory mechanism that could be targeted for therapeutic purposes.
