Retinal and Choroidal Circulation Impairments in Fanconi Anemia.
Am J Ophthalmol
January 2025
Hacettepe University School of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Ankara, Turkey.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of Fanconi anemia (FA) on retinal and choroidal microvasculature using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA).
Design: Cohort study with age-matched controls.
Subjects And Participants: This study included 11 eyes from 11 patients diagnosed with FA and 12 eyes from 12 age-matched healthy controls.
Minimal methimazole exposure-induced fatal pancytopenia.
BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Internal Medicine, University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
This case highlights that refractory pancytopenia leading to death can occur with methimazole treatment even at a very low cumulative dose and after a very short duration of exposure. In addition, the standard treatments to correct the pancytopenia may not be effective and a bone marrow transplant may be required. Current American Thyroid Association guidelines do not recommend routine monitoring of the complete blood count in patients receiving thionamides because of the rapidity of the onset of agranulocytosis and the lack of positive evidence that such monitoring would be useful.

One of the biggest public health problems globally is that of iron deficiency anemia. The present research aimed to determine the effect of prebiotics along with iron fortification on iron biomarkers in female anemic rats as some evidence suggests that prebiotics convert increase the solubility of iron, thereby enhancing its absorption. A total of 126 Sprague Dawley rats were fed with sixteen different types of fortified feed containing prebiotics (Inulin + Galacto Oligosaccharides) and Iron Fortificants (Sodium Ferric Ethylenediaminetetraacetate + Ferrous Sulphate).

Chronic Obstr Pulm Dis
January 2024
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Background: The impact of iron deficiency on COPD morbidity independent of anemia status is unknown. Understanding the association between iron deficiency, anemia status, and risk of hospitalization in COPD may inform an approach to these comorbidities.
Study Design And Methods: Adults ≥40 years from the Johns Hopkins COPD Precision Medicine Center of Excellence data repository with an outpatient iron profile and 1 year of subsequent follow-up time were included in the study.
Whole blood exchange ameliorates acute hemolytic anemia by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress in rats.
FASEB J
January 2025
Department of Blood Transfusion, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.
Hemolytic anemia (HA) is characterized by massive destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) and insufficient oxygen supply, which can lead to shock, organ failure, even death. Recent studies have preliminarily demonstrated the therapeutic effectiveness of whole blood exchange (WBE) in the management of acute hemolytic anemia and exhibited potential for reducing the duration of corticosteroid treatment, while the underlying mechanism of WBE therapy was not investigated in preclinical study. Hence, we investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of WBE in HA through established continued WBE therapy in rats creatively.
