    Abstract Advanced mitochondrial multi-omics indicate a multi-facet involvement of mitochondria in the physiology of the cell, changing the perception of mitochondria from being just the energy-generating organelles to organelles that highly influence cell structure, function, signaling, and cell fate. This sets mitochondrial dysfunction in the centerstage of numerous acquired and genetic diseases. Sickle cell disease is also being increasingly associated with mitochondrial anomalies and the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease finds mitochondria at crucial intersections in the pathological cascade. Altered mitophagy, increased ROS, and mitochondrial DNA all contribute to the condition and its severity. Such mitochondrial aberrations lead to consequent mitochondrial retention in red blood cells in sickle cell diseases, increased oxidation in the cellular environment, inflammation, worsened vaso-occlusive crisis, etc. There are increasing studies indicating mitochondrial significance in sickle cell disease, consequently providing an opportunity to target it for improving the outcomes of treatment. Identification of the impaired mitochondrial attributes in sickle cell disease and their modulation by therapeutic interventions can impart a better management of the disease. This review aims to describe the mitochondria in the perspective of sicke cell disease so as to provide the reader an overview of the emerging mitochondrial stance in sickle cell disease.

    Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening complication arising from venous thromboembolism with a difficult diagnosis and treatment and is often associated with increased mortality and morbidity. PE had a significantly low incidence prior to the COVID-19 epidemic. This condition saw a sharp surge during the COVID-19 pandemic, indicating an evident viral influence on PE’s pathophysiology in COVID-19 patients. The hypercoagulable state induced by the viral load seems to be the major contributor, and the classical causative factors seem to play a lesser role. PE in COVID-19 infection has become a mammoth challenge since the diagnosis is quite challenging due to overlapping symptoms, lack of prior-known predisposing risk factors, limited resources, and viral transmittance risk. Numerous factors arising out of the viral load or treatment lead to an increased risk for PE in COVID-19 patients, besides the fact that certain unknown risk factors may also contribute to the incidence of PE in COVID-19 patients. The management of PE in COVID-19 infection mainly comprises thromboprophylaxis and anticoagulant therapy with mechanical ventilation, depending on the risk stratification of the patient, with a post-COVID-19 management that prevents recurrent PE and complications. This review aims to discuss various aspects of COVID-19-infection-associated PE and major differential aspects from non-COVID-19 PE.

    Abstract T-activation polyagglutination can be caused by bacteria or viruses and has been associated with haemolytic anaemia. Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is also associated with haemolytic anaemia. The presented study aims to determine T activation polyagglutination in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Anti-T Arachis hypogaea lectin was incubated with the red blood cells of the COVID-19 patient and checked for agglutination. Thirty-four percent (34.3%) of COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) had potentially activated T cells and polyagglutinable red blood cells, as demonstrated by their cryptantigen exposure that caused agglutination. The study revealed a high prevalence of anti-T among ICU-admitted COVID-19 patients, suggesting that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may cause transient T activation, polyagglutination in critically ill COVID-19 patients in vitro and possibly haemolysis in vivo.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still a global concern with high morbidity and mortality rates. The role of endothelial cells in the progress of COVID-19 is well established. Therefore, the current study aimed to measure the endothelial markers and their correlation with the hematological parameters in intensive care unit-admitted COVID-19 patients. This study involved 111 adult participants, including 55 ICU-admitted patients with COVID-19 and 56 healthy controls. Levels of E-selectin, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in the plasma of the study participants were measured and correlated with hematological parameters. The study demonstrates that COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU have higher levels of E-selectin, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 compared to healthy controls ( p < .05). These elevated levels can serve as reliable indicators of endothelial dysfunction and early markers for the detection and prediction of endothelial cell involvement in COVID-19 complications. The findings of this study suggest that increased levels of E-selectin, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 in patients with COVID-19 are indicative of the participation of endothelial cells in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 complications. Consequently, these endothelial markers are proposed as potential early indicators for predicting the severity of COVID-19.

    Abstract Abstract A total of 227 Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Jazan region, southwestern Saudi Arabia were amplified for the P. falciparum multi-drug resistance 1 (pfmdr1) gene to detect point mutations 11 years after the introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in Saudi Arabia. The pfmdr1 86Y mutation was found in 11.5% (26/227) of the isolates while the N86 wild allele was detected in 88.5%. Moreover, 184F point mutations dominated (86.3%) the instances of pfmdr1 polymorphism while no mutation was observed at codons 1034, 1042 and 1246. Three pfmdr1 haplotypes were identified, NFSND (74.9%), NYSND (13.7%) and YFSND (11.4%). Associations of the prevalence of 86Y mutation and YFSND haplotype with participants’ nationality, residency and parasitaemia level were found to be significant (P < 0.05). The findings revealed significant decline in the prevalence of the pfmdr1 86Y mutation in P. falciparum isolates from Jazan region over a decade after the implementation of ACT treatment. Moreover, the high prevalence of the NFSND haplotype might be indicative of the potential emergence of CQ-sensitive but artemether-lumefantrine-resistant P. falciparum strains since the adoption of ACT. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the molecular markers of antimalarial drug resistance in Jazan region is highly recommended.

    Abstract Male contribution towards couple infertility is increasing but is less discussed. We aimed to assess the knowledge about iron deficiency anemia (IDA) as a contributor to male infertility in students at health colleges of Jazan University. A multicentric, cross-sectional survey included 910 participants and 768 participants qualified as per our inclusion criteria. The questions were categorized as: Model 1—knowledge about IDA-induced male infertility; Model 2—knowledge about IDA. The average knowledge of IDA causing male infertility is very low among students. The 18–20 years age group had a lesser score for either knowledge of IDA (M2; p -value = 0.047) or total ( p -value < 0.0001) compared to the older group. In addition, female students were significantly more likely to be better in achieving higher total scores ( p -value = 0.023) as well as M2 scores ( p -value < 0.0001) when compared to the respective male category. On the other hand, males were significantly better in scoring for M1 ( p -value = 0.004) compared to females. Awareness about iron deficiency anemia as a factor in male infertility may reduce the infertility burden, arising from a preventable factor, in the Jazan region.
