Splenic sequestration crisis is a life-threatening complication of sickle cell disease (SCD), characterized by a sudden and huge accumulation of blood in the spleen, leading to rapid enlargement and may lead to organ failure. This case report discusses an unusual case of a splenic sequestration crisis in an adult with SCD. The patient's age, Parvovirus B19 infection, and concurrent retrocardiac pneumonia are all things that differentiate this case from our usual presentation. We will be discussing the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and management.

Thiol-maleimide (MI) chemistry is a cornerstone of bioconjugation strategies, particularly in the development of drug delivery systems. The cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (cRGD) peptide, recognized for its ability to target the integrin αβ, is commonly employed to functionalize maleimide-bearing nanoparticles (NPs) for fabricating cRGD-functionalized nanomedicines. However, the impact of cRGD density on tumor targeting efficiency remains poorly understood.

Background: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and extruded nanovesicles (ENVs) are promising nanovesicles (NVs) for drug delivery. However, the application of these NVs is strongly hindered by their short half-life in the circulation. Macrophages (Mφs) in the liver and spleen contribute to the rapid depletion of NVs, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Background: Acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria is mainly mediated by immunoglobulin G (IgG) targeting erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). These adhesins mediate infected erythrocyte (IE) sequestration, protecting IEs from splenic destruction. PfEMP1-specific IgG is therefore thought to protect mainly by inhibiting IE sequestration.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) patients encounter various complications, such as acute splenic sequestration crisis and hypersplenism that may require splenectomy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to clarify differences between total splenectomy (TS) or partial splenectomy (PS) in terms of hematological and postoperative outcomes.
Methods: We identified studies involving SCD patients who underwent PS or TS, whether open or laparoscopic, and whose hematological and operative outcomes were evaluated, through searching PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane databases from inception until June 2024.
