    Abstract Iron deficiency anemia arises when the balance of iron intake, iron stores, and the body's loss of iron are insufficient to fully support production of erythrocytes. Iron deficiency anemia rarely causes death, but the impact on human health is significant. In the developed world, this disease is easily identified and treated, but frequently overlooked by physicians. In contrast, it is a health problem that affects major portions of the population in underdeveloped countries. Overall, the prevention and successful treatment for iron deficiency anemia remains woefully insufficient worldwide, especially among underprivileged women and children. Here, clinical and laboratory features of the disease are discussed, and then focus is placed on relevant economic, environmental, infectious, and genetic factors that converge among global populations.

    Abstract Early identification of infants with sickle cell disease (SCD) by newborn screening, now universal in all 50 states in the US, has improved survival, mainly by preventing overwhelming sepsis with the early use of prophylactic penicillin. Routine transcranial Doppler screening with the institution of chronic transfusion decreases the risk of stroke from 10% to 1% in paediatric SCD patients. Hydroxyurea decreases the number and frequency of painful crises, acute chest syndromes and number of blood transfusions in children with SCD. Genetic research continues to be driven toward the prevention and ultimate cure of SCD before adulthood. This review focuses on clinical manifestations and therapeutic strategies for paediatric SCD as well as the evolving topic of gene-focused prevention and therapy.

    Abstract Background and purpose: The study aims to review a condition defined by the desire to consume ice in order to satisfy an addictive-like compulsion, rather than for purposes of hydration or pain relief. This condition is called ice pica, or pagophagia. Associations between ice pica and iron deficiency, suggestions for clinical screening of at risk populations, and recommendations for treatment and follow-up care are provided.
    Data sources: An extensive literature review of original research articles, reviews, clinical practice manuscripts, and scientific publications on pica and pagophagia.
    Conclusions: A compulsion or craving for the consumption of ice is often overlooked in clinical practice. It is therefore important for clinicians to include ice pica as part of the review of systems for certain patient populations. Ice pica is frequently associated with iron deficiency, and iron supplementation is an effective therapy in most cases.
    Implications for practice: Knowledge gained from screening for ice pica can generate valuable patient information and lead to the diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency. The populations at risk include young women and blood donors of either sex.

    Abstract The human genome contains all elements of the erythroid transcriptome with the exception of those genes encoded in mitochondrial DNA. The concept of a "genome-based" approach for the study of erythroid biology and disease was envisioned in the mid-1990s as a logical offshoot of efforts to map the human genome. Although a completed human genome map was not expected until 2005 [Science 279 (1998) 23], the idea of creating a robust and retrievable description of erythroid gene activity was both encouraged and supported on the NIDDK Bethesda campus of the National Institutes of Health. The 5-10-year goals were organized into three parts. The initial project goal involved the collection of sequence data derived from mRNA expressed in developmentally staged erythroblasts. Those cells were isolated prospectively by flow cytometry monitoring of CD71 and glycophorin A expression patterns. Next, the sequence data was organized into a database and integrated with related information available in the public domain. The paramount goal of the project continues to be clinical application. As discussed in this paper, progress already made in each of these areas suggests that genome-based approaches will greatly facilitate future studies of erythroid biology and disease.

    Abstract Prior analyses of the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD) newborn cohort identified elevated white blood cell (WBC) count, low baseline hemoglobin and dactylitis between the ages of 1 and 2 years as markers of severe disease. Reticulocytosis was also associated with severe disease. Here, we further analyzed data collected on enrolled CSSCD infants for the predictive value of those markers for stroke and death later in life. Three hundred fifty-four CSSCD subjects were identified who had absolute reticulocyte counts (ARC) measured during infancy (2 to 6 months of age). Infants with higher ARC had significantly increased risk of stroke or death during childhood; lower hemoglobin levels also increased the risk but to a lesser degree than ARC. WBC levels and dactylitis were not predictive of death or stroke. These data suggest that reticulocytosis among asymptomatic infants with sickle cell anemia is associated with an increased risk of death or stroke during childhood.

    Abstract Erythropoiesis describes the hematopoietic process of cell proliferation and differentiation that results in the production of mature circulating erythrocytes. Adult humans produce 200 billion erythrocytes daily, and approximately 1 billion iron molecules are incorporated into the hemoglobin contained within each erythrocyte. Thus, iron usage for the hemoglobin production is a primary regulator of plasma iron supply and demand. In many anemias, additional sources of iron from diet and tissue stores are needed to meet the erythroid demand. Among a subset of anemias that arise from ineffective erythropoiesis, iron absorption and accumulation in the tissues increases to levels that are in excess of erythropoiesis demand even in the absence of transfusion. The mechanisms responsible for iron overloading due to ineffective erythropoiesis are not fully understood. Based upon data that is currently available, it is proposed in this review that loading and overloading of iron can be regulated by distinct or combined mechanisms associated with erythropoiesis. The concept of erythroid regulation of iron is broadened to include both physiological and pathological hepcidin suppression in cases of ineffective erythropoiesis.

    Abstract A detailed understanding of hemoglobin production in erythroid cells is of fundamental clinical importance for the treatment of hemoglobinopathies. Several hundred scientific reports and dozens of reviews describe this intriguing topic of research. Early studies demonstrated the temporal nature of a hemoglobin-switching phenomenon during development in the circulating erythrocytes of humans. The focus then shifted from descriptive to experimental analyses and model systems in an effort to define the switching mechanisms. The application of molecular biology in those experimental models has been a primary focus for the last two decades. Today, advances in the fields of stem cell biology and signal transduction are being integrated with those genetic studies. Genomic and proteomic approaches are also being developed to provide a more robust description of the biologic variables involved. This review highlights recent advances in erythroid genetics and cellular biology with an emphasis upon the modulation of fetal hemoglobin expression during the maturation of adult human erythrocytes.
