Ferrokinetic studies in two patients with haemolytic anaemia due to haemoglobin Wien revealed increased haemoglobin synthesis and an increase in effective erythropoiesis. Haemolysis is due to an instability of the haemoglobin itself. The spleen does not appear to play any appreciable role in the aetiology of this condition. There was no extramedullary erythropoiesis in our patients.

Introduction: Serum lactate levels have been recognized as a robust marker for predicting disease severity and survival in many critically ill children but consensus is lacking regarding its utility in diabetic ketoacidosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between initial lactate levels and disease severity in pediatric patients presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis.

Methods: This single-center retrospective descriptive study involved pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis in the pediatric emergency department between January 2022 and April 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a disorder caused by the lack of specific proteins on blood cells, leading to unintended destruction of red blood cells by the immune system.
  • The standard treatment involves blocking the complement system with drugs like ravulizumab; however, some patients experience complications like extravascular hemolysis (EVH) during this treatment.
  • A case study of a 43-year-old woman showed successful treatment of her PNH with the new drug iptacopan after she developed EVH while on ravulizumab, leading to normalized hemoglobin levels with minimal side effects.

Purpose: Each institution or physician has to decide on an individual basis whether to continue or discontinue antiplatelet (AP) therapy before spinal surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine if perioperative AP continuation is safe during single-level microsurgical decompression (MSD) for treating lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and lumbar disc hernia (LDH) without selection bias.

Methods: Patients who underwent single-level MSD for LSS and LDH between April 2018 to December 2022 at our institute were included in this retrospective study.
