Filter by:Thalassemia is different in kids with microcytic hypochromic anemia than general population because there is a confusion between symptoms of thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia in kids and both of them differ in management and prognosis. otherwise the most commonest causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia in kids are iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia and both of them are more common in kids than in general population. Thalassemia is different in Egypt than anywhere in the world because there is no accurate estimation of incidence and prevalence of such dangerous disease in Egypt inspite of many cases attending thalassemia center (hundreds) and this disease is autosomal recessive and its incidence can be minimized by detection of carrier cases by gene study hopping that to be done as a routine premarital investigation.
Sugammadex is a selective antidote to muscle relaxants rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, a compound that selectively binds rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. It forms a complex with them in the blood plasma, which leads to the decrease in the concentration of muscle relaxant binding to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular synapse. The result is the the elimination of neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is used to eliminate neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide in children aged 2 years and adolescents in standard clinical situations. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy and safety of sugammadex in children under 2 years
This is a single centre、single arm、open-label study，to investigate the safety and efficacy of the gene correction of HBB in patient-specific iHSCs using CRISPR/Cas9.
Worldwide, there are more than 60,000 births annually of serious forms of thalassemia .The World Health Organization considers thalassemia to be a major health burden. Beta- thalassemia is a group of recessively inherited disorders of hemoglobin synthesis characterized by reduced synthesis of the ß-globin chain caused by a mutation. The homozygous state results in severe anemia which needs regular blood transfusion.
Regular blood transfusions are essential for the management of haematological conditions such as β-thalassemia major. As a result, however, patients with these conditions are susceptible to the development of transfusion-dependent iron overload (hemosiderosis or secondary iron overload
This is a Phase I/II clinical trial of gene transfer for treating Beta-thalassemia using a self-inactivating lentiviral vector to functionally correct the defective gene(s). The objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gene transfer clinical protocol.
This is a single group, open label study in 10 subjects who are 8 years of age or older with beta-thalassemia major. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transduced with lentiviral vector for the treatment of beta-thalassemia major.
A prospective randomized study on Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of oral Low dose DFP (50 mg/kg/day) in minimally transfused B-TM after 5 transfusions when SF reaches 500 ng/m and with either appearance of LPI > 0.2 or TSAT reaches 50% compared with non treatment arm. So the aim of this study: 1. To determine the time as well as amount of transfused iron ( calculated in mg iron/kg ) which lead to Serum ferritin reaches 500 ng /ml and LPI appearance >0.2 as well as TSAT reaches 50 % . 2. Tolerability and safety of early low dose DFP 50mg/kg and effectiveness to postpone or prevent SF from reaching 1000 ng/ml or LPI >0.6 or TSAT >70% in comparison to patients not starting chelation therapy 3. Determine adverse events whether drug or non drug related
role of Vit C to Augment iron chelation with DFP or DFX in thalassemic patients.
safety and efficacy of different iron chelation therapy in transfusion dependent beta-thalaasemia patients with low serum ferritin and continued regular transfusion regimen.
