Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease in the general population associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The understanding of VTE risk factors is an essential step for its prevention. The association between obesity and VTE is particularly important because of the increased prevalence of obesity worldwide. It is noteworthy that the pathophysiology of VTE in obesity…
Longevity is a topic that causes a lot of interest and the factors associated with risk of disability and death are really important to the understanding of this process. However, longevity is still poorly understood and more studies are necessary. Objective: To evaluate if there is association between polymorphisms rs9536314, rs564481 and rs1207568 of Klotho gene and longevity. To estim…

Background and objectives: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a generic term used to determine a group of genetic alterations characterized by hemoglobin S (Hb S) predominance. Sickle cell anaemia (SCA), the most common and severe SCD, is an autosomal recessive, inherited disorder of hemoglobin structure caused by a point mutation in the Beta²-globin chain of hemoglobin. Low blood oxygenation p…
Sickle cell anemia occurred due to a single mutation in beta globin gene and its is characterized by vaso-occlusion episodes (pain crises), vasculopathy, acute thoracic syndrome, ischemic stroke, etc. Strokes are due to macro vascular lesions with vaso-occlusion and had an incidence of 10 to 25%. At present time, to prevent recurrent stroke in pediatric patients, chronic transfusion is us…
Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) is a disease caused by mutation in the beta²-globin gene. This mutation causes the formation of polymers with increased erythrocyte density, which is responsible for vaso-occlusive phenomena, characteristic of this disease. Eryptosis, which has recently been characterized, is a removal mechanism of abnormal or senescent erythrocytes that depends on exposure of the…
