Hb Detroit is a mutant which migrates between Hb A and Hb J Baltimore on cellulose acetate (pH 8.5), and with Hb A on citrate agar (pH 6.0). Globin chain analyses in alkaline and acid buffers reveal an abnormal beta chain with a mobility between the betaA and betaJ Baltimore chains. Structural characterization of this abnormal chain shows that lysine at position 95 is replaced by asparagine. No hematological abnormalities could be attributed to the presence of the mutant, and the oxygen affinity properties of the stripped hemoglobin are similar to those of Hb A. The beta95 residue which is substituted in Hb Detroit and also in Hb N Baltimore ((beta95 Lys leads to Glu) does not appear to be in a critical functional area of the molecule.

Preoperative Multivariable Model for Risk Stratification of Hypoxemia During One-Lung Ventilation.
Anesth Analg
November 2024
From the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: Hypoxemia occurs with relative frequency during one-lung ventilation (OLV) despite advances in airway management. Lung perfusion scans are thought to be one of the most accurate methods to predict hypoxemia during OLV, but their complexity and costs are well-known limitations. There is a lack of preoperative stratification models to estimate the risk of intraoperative hypoxemia among patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an effective tool for individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on insulin. This study evaluated the effect of using CGM to reduce hyperglycemia, by focusing on food and lifestyle choices, in people with T2D not taking insulin. A 6-month randomized, prospective four-center study was conducted.

Background: Sickle cell disease, a debilitating, inherited haemolytic anaemia with premature morbidity and mortality, affects millions globally. Mitapivat, a first-in-class, oral, allosteric activator of pyruvate kinase, improves red blood cell survival by increasing ATP and diminishes sickling by decreasing 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitapivat in patients with sickle cell disease.

In the United States, Black people experience multiple myeloma (MM) at a frequency that is more than double that of White people and experience much higher rates of mortality. Despite bearing a disproportionate impact of both MM incidence and mortality, Black patients are significantly underrepresented in most MM clinical trials. This is in part because Black patients experience a higher prevalence of hemoglobinopathies and Duffy-null phenotype, which affect hemoglobin and neutrophil levels, respectively, potentially excluding patients from clinical trials.

Henry Ford Health, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI, USA.
Purpose: There is wide variability in the conclusions of studies examining the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on outcomes of shoulder arthroplasty (SA). The objective of this study was to determine if there are differences in complication profiles between patients with DM and those without undergoing anatomic and reverse total SA.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing SA in a single center from January 2014 to December 2019 was performed.
