Chronic anemia is more prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH) compared to the general population. The mechanisms that drive chronic anemia in HIV are multifaceted and include functional impairment of hematopoietic stem cells, dysregulation of ery...
Introduction: Microcytic anemia is a type of anemia with smaller than normal red blood cells. Iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia are some of the major causes. The aim of the study was to compare the pulmonary function of the subjects with microcy...
Inherited anemias represent a diverse group of genetic disorders characterized by impaired red blood cell production, increased destruction, or abnormal hemoglobin synthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the contemporary clinical...
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare condition characterized by destruction of red blood cells with and without involvement of complement. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, less than 50%...
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) accounts for most of the anemia in pregnancy, and iron is essential for neurodevelopment. Tics and Tourette’s syndrome (TS) are neurodevelopmental disorders that manifest in childhood. A few studies reported an inconclusi...
