Congenital sideroblastic anemia-B-cell immunodeficiency-periodic fever-developmental delay syndrome
MONDO:0014487Congenital sideroblastic anemia -B cell immunodeficiency- periodic fever-developmental delay syndrome is a form of constitutional sideroblastic anemia, characterized by severe microcytic anemia, B-cell lymphopenia, panhypogammaglobulinemia and variable neurodegeneration. The disease presents in infancy with recurrent febrile illnesses, gastrointestinal disturbances, developmental delay, seizures, ataxia and sensorineural deafness. Most patients require regular blood transfusion, iron chelation, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) replacement. Stem cell transplantation has been reported to be successful.
Also known as: SIFD, SIFD syndrome, sideroblastic anaemia with B-cell immunodeficiency, periodic fevers, and developmental delay, sideroblastic anemia with B-cell immunodeficiency, periodic fevers, and developmental delay

Blood transfusion thresholds tested to save elderly surgical patients
Disease control CompletedThis study tests whether giving blood transfusions more liberally (when hemoglobin drops to 9 g/dL) versus more restrictively (when it drops to 7.5 g/dL) reduces death and serious complications like heart attack, stroke, or kidney injury in patients aged 70 and older undergoing n…

Anemia in kids may be tied to bigger hearts, study finds
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study explored whether low hemoglobin (anemia) is linked to an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) in children up to 18 years old. Researchers used chest X-rays and echocardiograms to check for heart enlargement in 56 anemic children. The goal was to better understand how anemia a…
