Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological Roles of the Intermediate Conductance, Ca2+-activated Potassium Channel Kcnn4

TL;DR: The role of IK channels in water movement and subsequent volume changes in red blood cells and T lymphocytes is also confirmed in this article, which is a contributing factor in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A multiparameter analysis of sickle erythrocytes in patients undergoing hydroxyurea therapy

TL;DR: Hydroxyurea shifted several biochemical and biophysical parameters of sickle erythrocytes toward values observed with hemoglobin SC disease, suggesting that hydroxyurea moderates sickle cell disease toward the milder, but still clinically significant, hemoglobinSC disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preliminary Assessment of Inhaled Nitric Oxide for Acute Vaso-occlusive Crisis in Pediatric Patients With Sickle Cell Disease

TL;DR: Results of this exploratory study suggest that INO may be beneficial for acute vaso-occlusive crisis in pediatric patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel AE1 mutations in recessive distal renal tubular acidosis. Loss-of-function is rescued by glycophorin A.

TL;DR: The genetic and functional data both suggest that the homozygous AE1 G701D mutation causes recessively transmitted dRTA in this kindred with apparently normal erythroid anion transport.
