Analysis of psychological problems of the thalassemic subject shown with these following tests: Der Baumtest, drawing of the human figure. Moreover, we made meetings with all boys and their parents during their stay in the day-hospital. These tests have shown subjective conflicts (fear and uncertainty of future due to illness felt as aggression and fault, depressive moods and loneliness, problems of communication, hope in a magic recovery opposite to the constant discomfort of the therapeutic dependence) and relational conflicts (ambivalence towards parents, difficulties in becoming a part of the social and school environment).

Soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 as an endothelial dysfunction biomarker associated with pulmonary hypertension in adult patients with beta-thalassemia major.

The etiology of vascular problems in beta-thalassemia has been linked to endothelial damage. Antiangiogenic proteins such as soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1) inhibit the signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor, resulting in a decrease in the development of new blood vessels. Additionally, they promote the maturation of existing blood vessels and lead to endothelial dysfunction.

Background: Low BMD is a common problem in major thalassaemia patient, but the use of DXA in chronic disease children with smaller bones, has some problems. Utilizing bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) helps in preventing this obstacle. Testing the usefulness of this method in resolving the effects of bone size on BMD by comparing the BMD and BMAD of our thalassemics with results of our healthy ones, is our goal.

Thalassemia, a congenital hemoglobinopathy, is characterized by impaired erythropoiesis and peripheral hemolysis, leading to anemia. Thalassemia major, in particular, necessitates regular blood transfusions, resulting in iron accumulation in the body. Iron overload primarily affects the heart and can induce cardiac disorder, including defects in the pump and conduction system, which is one of the leading causes of mortality among thalassemics.

Intravenous cannulation is experientially traumatic to children. To minimize this, EMLA is applied on the would-be-cannulated area before IV cannula insertion. However, the time to achieve its maximum efficacy may be affected due to incomplete cutaneous absorption and the duration of application.
