Study examines if sickle cell trait is a genetic factor for increased risk of stroke in African Americans.
Treating and Preventing Acute Chest Syndrome in Children With Sickle Cell Disease
Risk factors of acute chest syndrome and effective preventive and therapeutic strategies to prevent recurrent episodes in children with sickle cell disease.

‘Sickle cell trait is not a genetic risk factor for increased risk of ischemic stroke among African Americans.’
Authors: Hyacinth I. Hyacinth, M.D., Ph.D., of Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, and coauthors Study Design: This was a meta-analysis. A meta-analysis combines the results of multiple studies and quantitatively summarizes the overall association between the same exposure and outcomes measured across all studies.
Malarial Risks may Not be Increased by Sickle Cell Treatment

New Computer Models Can Prevent The Onset of Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease affects millions of people worldwide. New computer models developed showed how different fiber structures inside the cell produce different cell shapes.
