From our Evidence Alert this month: Intravenous iron therapy for patients with preoperative #irondeficiency or #anaemia undergoing #cardiacsurgery reduces #bloodtransfusions: a #SystematicReview and meta-analysis by Gupta et al. transfusionevidencelibrary.com/article/326427…

In patients with severe #COVID19 the IL-6 receptor antagonist Tocilizumab appeared to shut down inflammation & procoagulation in a small pilotstudy, D-dimer & CRP declined rapidly; lymphocytes increased. Can this lead to better outcomes? #RPTH: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rt… Ben Littenberg

We, along with ASH Research Collaborative, are excited to get to work with the #SCD community. Similar platforms have improved health care for other diseases & we are optimistic for this model in improving the lives of people living w/#sicklecell disease.

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.
