Diagnostic value of spirometry vs impulse oscillometry: A comparative study in children with sickle cell disease.

Pediatric pulmonology
BACKGROUND: Spirometry is conventionally used to diagnose airway diseases in children with sickle cell disease (C-SCD). However, spirometry is difficult for younger children to perform, is effort dependent, and it provides limited information on resp...

A deep convolutional neural network for classification of red blood cells in sickle cell anemia.

PLoS computational biology
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hematological disorder leading to blood vessel occlusion accompanied by painful episodes and even death. Red blood cells (RBCs) of SCD patients have diverse shapes that reveal important biomechanical and bio-rheological...

Large-Vessel Vasculopathy in Children With Sickle Cell Disease: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Infarct Topography and Focal Atrophy.

Pediatric neurology
BACKGROUND: Large-vessel vasculopathy (LVV) increases stroke risk in pediatric sickle cell disease beyond the baseline elevated stroke risk in this vulnerable population. The mechanisms underlying this added risk and its unique impact on the developi...

Machine learning to optimize automated RH genotyping using whole-exome sequencing data.

Blood advances
Rh phenotype matching reduces but does not eliminate alloimmunization in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) due to RH genetic diversity that is not distinguishable by serological typing. RH genotype matching can potentially mitigate Rh alloimmun...

Applications of deep learning to the assessment of red blood cell deformability.

Biorheology
BACKGROUND: Measurement of abnormal Red Blood Cell (RBC) deformability is a main indicator of Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) and requires standardized quantification methods. Ektacytometry is commonly used to estimate the fraction of Sickled Cells (SCs) by...

The Sickle Cell Disease Ontology: enabling universal sickle cell-based knowledge representation.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common monogenic diseases in humans with multiple phenotypic expressions that can manifest as both acute and chronic complications. Although described more than a century ago, challenges in comprehensive d...
