Serum Hepcidin Status of Sickle Cell Disease Subjects with Multiple Blood Transfusion in Nigeria
Abstract: Objectives: No effective physiological mechanism for excess iron excretion is known in humans. Conditions such as sickle cell disease (SCD), where red blood cell transfusion is a frequently employed therapy can subsequently result in ready accumulation and circulation of exogenous iron as non-transferrin bound iron in tissues with possible impairment of iron homeostasis in them. Aim: The influence of multiple blood transfusions on the patterns of iron homeostasis in correlation …

Thalassemia and its management – A review article
Abstract: Thalassemia is a hemoglobinopathy burdening India making it earn title of Thalassemia capital of world. Studying last decade, the overall prevalence worldwide and incidence rates have declined but prevalence rates were high in east and Southeast Asian countries. Screening for carriers and affected individuals and genetic counselling are promising approaches for reducing soaring cases and reducing the further spread. Thalassemia affects various organs due to iron overload and haemolysis leading …

Design And Fabrication of Contactless Magnetic Gears
Abstract: Modern engineering prioritizes speed, efficiency, and reliability, spurring innovations like contactless magnetic gear systems that transmit torque through interacting magnetic fields from permanent magnets, eliminating physical contact to drastically cut friction, backlash, wear, lubrication needs, and heat—operating silently with minimal vibration and peak efficiencies up to 99% under ideal conditions, outperforming traditional gears in low-speed, high-torque direct-drive applications such as motors. The design centers on two rotors: an outer high-speed …
