Glucose‐6‐Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Brazilian Children With Sickle Cell Anemia is not Associated With Clinical Ischemic Stroke or High‐Risk Transcranial Doppler
ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that G6PD molecular deficiency was not associated either with clinical ischemic stroke or high‐risk TCD. Similarly, we found no associations between G6PD enzyme activity and stroke or high‐risk TCD. Small sample size precludes definitive conclusions.

Stroke with intracranial stenosis is associated with increased platelet activation in sickle cell anemia
ConclusionStroke with intracranial stenosis is associated with increased platelet activation in sickle cell anemia, and further investigation is needed on the role of anti‐platelet agents in this high‐risk population. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Protective Effects of Spatholobi Caulis Extract on Neuronal Damage and Focal Ischemic Stroke/Reperfusion Injury
AbstractNeuronal apoptotic cell death plays an important role in many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer ’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and ischemic stroke. Spatholobi Caulis (SC) has been widely used in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of cancer, inflammation, viral infection, and anemia. However, the protective effects of SC extract (SCE) against apoptotic cell death in the brain h ave not been reported. We investigated the protective effects of SCE against neuronal injury etoposide-induced neurotoxicity and in rats subjected to focal transient ischemic stroke middle cerebral artery occlusion ...

Capacity building and stroke risk assessment in Nigerian children with sickle cell anaemia
ConclusionEffective capacity building of middle level manpower is feasible and can provide a credible TCD screening service to communities with a high demand and a shortage of trained professionals. The pattern of TCD abnormalities seen in Africa are comparable to those obtained in several previous worldwide reports. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Associations of Anemia With Outcomes in Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Anemia on admission was associated with higher mortality and an increased risk of poor outcome in patients with ICH. However, the results were limited by the high heterogeneity of included studies. Prospective, multi-center or population-based, large sample cohort studies are needed in the future.
Introduction
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the second most common cause of stroke and a highly lethal disease (1), which still lacks effective therapeutic interventions (2, 3). Although age, baseline ICH volume and neurological status on admission are well-known predictors of outcome of ICH (4), none of t...

Sickle Cell Disease Subjects Have a Distinct Abnormal Autonomic Phenotype Characterized by Peripheral Vasoconstriction With Blunted Cardiac Response to Head-Up Tilt
Conclusion
We have shown that SCD subjects are much more likely than non-SCD subjects to have impaired cardiac, but intact peripheral responses to orthostatic stress induced by HUT. These abnormal responses are associated with low baseline cardiac parasympathetic activity, independent of hemoglobin level. The classification of autonomic phenotypes based on HUT response may have potential use for predicting disease severity, guiding and targeting treatments/interventions to alleviate the risk of adverse outcomes in SCD.
Ethics Statement
All experiments were conducted at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). The ...

Hydroxyurea lowers transcranial Doppler flow velocities in children with sickle cell anaemia in a Nigerian cohort
ConclusionHU appears to significantly reduce TCD velocities in Nigerian children with SCA and elevated velocities ≥170 cm/sec with beneficial effect on the haematological profile. HU may provide an effective approach to primary stroke prevention, particularly in Africa. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transcranial Doppler in hemoglobin SC disease
Conclusion: These results suggest that a different cut‐off value for abnormal TCD velocities could be considered for patients with HbSC. Additional studies are warranted to determine the actual risk of stroke in HbSC genotype associated with this possible TCD risk value.

Transfusion thresholds for guiding red blood cell transfusion
CONCLUSIONS: Transfusion at a restrictive haemoglobin concentration decreased the proportion of people exposed to RBC transfusion by 41% across a broad range of clinical contexts. Across all trials, no evidence suggests that a restrictive transfusion strategy impacted 30-day mortality, mortality at other time points, or morbidity (i.e. cardiac events, myocardial infarction, stroke, pneumonia, thromboembolism, infection) compared with a liberal transfusion strategy. Despite including 17 more randomised trials (and 8846 participants), data remain insufficient to inform the safety of transfusion policies in important and sele...

A Retrospective Observational Study of Neurological Manifestations in COVID-19 (SON-CoV)
Conclusion: CNS symptoms of COVID-19 are more common than PNS symptoms. Stroke is the most frequent (46%) COVID-CNS symptom, which occurs in people of age above 35 years and is associated with high mortality.PMID:37355862 | DOI:10.5005/japi-11001-0107

Stem Cells for Cell-Based Therapies
The world of stem cells
We know the human body comprises many cell types (e.g., blood cells, skin cells, cervical cells), but we often forget to appreciate that all of these different cell types arose from a single cell—the fertilized egg. A host of sequential, awe-inspiring events occur between the fertilization of an egg and the formation of a new individual:
Embryonic stem (ES) cells are also called totipotent cells.
The first steps involve making more cells by simple cell division: one cell becomes two cells; two cells become four cells, etc.
Each cell of early development is undifferentiated; that is, it is...
