Racial Disparities Likely Reduced By Sickle Cell Anemia Stroke Prevention Efforts
The disparity in stroke-related deaths among black and white children dramatically narrowed after prevention strategies changed to include ultrasound screening and chronic blood transfusions for children with sickle cell anemia, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012...

Patients With Anemia May Be At More Than Triple The Risk Of Dying After A Stroke
Being anemic could more than triple your risk of dying within a year after having a stroke, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2012. "Among stroke patients, severe anemia is a potent predictor of dying throughout the first year after a stroke," said Jason Sico, M.D...

Mandatory Sickle Cell Trait Screening For Athletic Participation Opposed By American Society Of Hematology Policy
The American Society of Hematology (ASH), the world's largest professional society concerned with the causes and treatment of blood disorders, has issued a policy statement* opposing mandatory screening of athletes for sickle cell trait as a prerequisite to athletic participation and urging athletics programs to adopt universal preventive interventions in their training program...

New Catalytic Process Could Convert By-Products Of Diesel Production Into Anticoagulant Drugs And More
A new catalytic process discovered at Cardiff University could unleash a range of useful new by-products from diesel fuel production. More sustainable production of sulphur-free diesel from natural gas and biomass is increasing. However the by-products, hydrocarbons like decane and other low value alkanes have little practical use...

Blood-Forming Stem Cells' Growth Identified
Scientists with the new Children's Research Institute at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified the environment in which blood-forming stem cells survive and thrive within the body, an important step toward increasing the safety and effectiveness of bone-marrow transplantation. Institute investigators led by Dr...

A 'Disruptive Science' Ready For Commercial Development - Gene Therapy
The time for commercial development of gene therapy has come. Patients with diseases treatable and curable with gene therapy deserve access to the technology, which has demonstrated both its effectiveness and feasibility, says James Wilson, MD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Human Gene Therapy in a provocative commentary and accompanying videocast...

Short-Term Pulmonary, Immunologic, Or Coagulation Status Unaffected By Duration Of RBC Storage
There is no difference in early measures of pulmonary function, immunologic status or coagulation status after fresh versus standard issue single-unit red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, according to a new study from the Mayo Clinic. "Longer duration of RBC storage is thought to increase the risk of transfusion-related pulmonary complications," said Daryl J...

Chemists Unlock Potential Target For Drug Development
A receptor found on blood platelets whose importance as a potential pharmaceutical target has long been questioned may in fact be fruitful in drug testing, according to new research from Michigan State University chemists. A team led by Dana Spence of MSU's Department of Chemistry has revealed a way to isolate and test the receptor known as P2X1...

New Drug Labels For Kidney Disease Patients
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently recommended that clinicians be more conservative when they prescribe chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with drugs that treat red blood cell deficiencies. But the drug label's recommendations fall short, according to two commentaries appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society Nephrology (CJASN)...

Drug Helps Maintain Platelet Inhibition And Anti-Clotting Levels Prior To Cardiac Surgery
According to a study in the January 18 issue of JAMA, patients who stop using an antiplatelet agent, such as clopidogrel, before undergoing cardiac surgery to reduce their risk of bleeding and received intravenously the platelet inhibitor cangrelor, achieved a higher rate of maintenance of platelet inhibition than those who were given placebo...
