POWERING UP RBCs Mitapivat is an oral allosteric activator of pyruvate kinase → ↑ glycolytic ATP. FDA-approved for PK deficiency anemia; in trials for sickle cell disease & thalassemia. More ATP = healthier, longer-lived red cells across hemolytic disorders. #hematology

🧵 Pancytopenia – A Clinical Approach You see a patient’s CBC, and all 3 cell lines are down. Hemoglobin ↓, WBC ↓, Platelets ↓. That’s pancytopenia — and it always demands respect. Here’s how to approach it 👇 Dr Ihab Suliman Dr. Akhil 🇮🇳 Dr Celestino Gutiérrez González MD 🇪🇸🍏🇻🇪 #MedTwitter

🩸 Evans syndrome = rare, relapsing, life-threatening. High infections, thrombosis, mortality. Until now → scattered case reports, case series and observation studies, no RCTs. 👉 Not “just ITP + AIHA.” It needs: • Structured diagnosis • Tailored immunosuppression •

Hemolysis footprints: comparing HS and warm AIHA We all know extravascular ≠ intravascular hemolysis (HS ≠ PNH). But here’s a nuance: even within extravascular hemolysis, HS and warm AIHA leave very different lab signatures.

Children with cancer might not always show symptoms. Early detection and treatment improve outcomes. It is recommended to screen for Retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye) during routine MCH clinic visits for all children under 5 years old.

HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA (HA) - CLASSIFICATION The classical framework for HA (immune vs non-immune → intracorpuscular vs extracorpuscular) is both conceptual and practical. It gives a scaffold that also maps to labs, e.g., blood smear, DAT, Hb electrophoresis, PNH screening and so on.

🗞️ Breaking: Africa CDC and the Republic of Ghana, in collaboration with Texas Children's, have launched “A New Day for Children with Sickle Cell Disease” at #UNGA80. This initiative will integrate SCD into primary health care, strengthen early detection, and expand access to

CBC/DIFF CHANGES IN IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA Hb ↓ Hb:Hct ↓ MCV ↓ MCHC ↓ MCH ↓↓ (= MCV x MCHC/100) RDW ↑ (early marker; rises with treatment) Platelets ↑ in 10–30%; ↓ in ~3% Occasional lymphocytopenia or basophilia Lots of clues! Not all patients show the full pattern.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady, Star of the Sea.

Dear Christians (and more specifically my fellow Roman Catholics), a week has 168 HOURS! On your own, you decide to attend Sunday Mass which lasts for about TWO HOURS or less! Yet, instead of approaching the service with humility, respect & adoration, you use your phone in church

1/4 What happens to hemoglobin after RBCs rupture? When red cells rupture, hemoglobin (Hb) is released into plasma. Hb tetramers fall apart into αβ dimers, which are unstable and potentially toxic. What happens next?
