Journal ArticleDOI
Hemoglobin Hofu or alpha 2 beta 2 [126 (H4) Va1 leads to Glu] found in combination with hemoglobin S.
Gary M. Brittenham,B. Lozoff,J. W. Harris,N. V. S. Nayudu,M. E. Gravely,J. B. Wilson,H. Lam,Titus H.J. Huisman +7 more
TL;DR: Quantitation of the hemoglobin fractions by DEAE-cellulose chromatography showed that Hb Hofu constituted a mean of 23-25% of the total whether in combination with Hb A or Hb S, but neither had clinical manifestations of sickle cell disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologically based serum ferritin thresholds for iron deficiency in women of reproductive age who are blood donors
O. Yaw Addo,Zuguo Mei,Eldad A. Hod,Maria Elena Jefferds,Andrea J. Sharma,Rafael Flores-Ayala,Steven L. Spitalnik,Gary M. Brittenham +7 more
TL;DR: The relationship between serum ferritin and two independently measured indicators of iron-deficient erythropoiesis, soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and hemoglobin, in baseline data from 286 women who were first-time or reactivated donors in the REDS-RISE study is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Measurement of Liver Iron Stores: Engineering Aspects of a New Scanning Susceptometer Based on High-Temperature Superconductivity
David E. Farrell,Christopher J. Allen,M.W. Whilden,J. H. Tripp,A. Usoskin,Sujit Sheth,Gary M. Brittenham +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a new approach to the magnetic measurement of liver iron stores, using an instrument that incorporates a combination of permanent magnets and superconducting flux transformers.
Hemoglobin Concentration of High-Altitude Tibetans
Cynthia M. Beall,Gary M. Brittenham,Kingman P. Strohl,John Blangero,Sarah Williams-Blangero,Melvyn C. Goldstein,Michael J. Decker,Enrique Vargas,Mercedes Villena,Rudy Soria,Ana Maria Alarcon,Cristina Gonzales +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the null hypothesis of no difference in mean hemoglobin concentration of Tibetan and Aymara residents at 3,800-4,065 meters by using healthy samples that were screened for iron deficiency, abnormal hemoglobins, and thalassemias, recruited and assessed using the same techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for Noninvasive Measurement of Tissue Iron in Cooley's Anemia
Sujit Sheth,Haiying Tang,Jens H. Jensen,Karen Altmann,Ashwin Prakash,Beth F. Printz,Alan J. Hordof,Christina L. Tosti,Andjela Azabagic,Srirama V. Swaminathan,Truman R. Brown,Nancy F. Olivieri,Gary M. Brittenham +12 more
TL;DR: Magnetic resonance methods promise to provide more effective monitoring of iron deposition in vulnerable tissues, including the liver, heart, and endocrine organs, and could contribute to the development of iron‐chelating regimens that more effectively prevent iron toxicity.
