Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder in which the body produces defective hemoglobin. One of the important processes to reduce the complication of major β-thalassemia is blood transfusion that leads to elevated ferritin levels in the blood. Man...
Hb S/Hb E (: c.20A>T/: c.79G>A) is an uncommon variant of sickle cell disease resulting from coinheritance of Hb S and Hb E. Clinico-hematological and biochemical parameters of 35 cases of Hb S/Hb E disease were studied and compared with 70 matched c...
BACKGROUND: β thalassemia is a common monogenic genetic disease that is very harmful to human health. The disease arises is due to the deletion of or defects in β-globin, which reduces synthesis of the β-globin chain, resulting in a relatively excess...

BACKGROUND: The hypochromic microcytic anemia (HMA) commonly found in Thailand are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and thalassemia trait (TT). Accurate discrimination between IDA and TT is an important issue and better methods are urgently needed. Altho...
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can generate reactive oxygen species and induce oxidative modifications. We investigated the effects of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) on oxidative status of plasma and erythrocytes in β-thalasse...
BACKGROUND: To estimate median liver iron concentration (LIC) calculated from magnetic resonance imaging, excluded vessels of the liver parenchyma region were defined manually. Previous works proposed the automated method for excluding vessels from t...

BACKGROUND: The T2* value of interventricular septum is routinely reported for grading myocardial iron load in thalassemia major, and automatic segmentation of septum could shorten analysis time and reduce interobserver variability.

The blood counts of α thalassemia carriers (α-thal) are similar to those of β thalassemia carriers, except for Hemoglobin A (Hb A), which is not elevated. The objective of this study was to determine whether mathematical formulas are effective for de...
This study explores the performance of deep learning models, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and XGBoost, in predicting alpha and beta thalassemia using both public and private datasets. Thalassemia is a genetic disorder that impairs...
