Oxidative stress assessment in sickle cell anemia patients treated with hydroxyureaAbstract Hydroxyurea (HU) is used as a therapy in sickle cell anemia (SCA). Many studies have established that HU improves patient quality of life by reducing symptoms. However, the effect of HU on erythrocytes is not well-described. We evaluated several parameters related to oxidative stress and total lipid content of erythrocytes in patients with SCA. The patient cohort consisted of 7 SCA patients treated with HU,...

Advances in cytomegalovirus (CMV) biology and its relationship to health, diseases, and agingAbstract Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the largest and most ubiquitous latent persistent viruses. Most humans are infected with CMV early in life, and all immunocompetent humans spend several decades living with CMV. In the vast majority of the hosts, CMV does not cause manifest disease, and CMV therefore can be considered part of normal aging for 50–90% of the human population worldwide. Experimental,...
