Brazilian Guidelines for transcranial doppler in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease
(Associação Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia e daSociedade Brasileira de Transplante de Medula Óssea, 2011)
BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease is the most common monogenic hereditary disease in Brazil. Although strokes are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients, the use of transcranial Doppler to identify ...
Changes in Transcranial Doppler Flow Velocities in Children with Sickle Cell Disease: The Impact of Hydroxyurea Therapy
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)
Background and Objectives: Hydroxyurea (HU) was recently described as a substitute for chronic transfusion for children with sickle cell disease (SCD) and abnormal transcranial Doppler (TCD) velocities who have received ...
Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in adults with sickle cell disease
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006-08-22)
Background: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is used to select children with sickle cell disease (SCD) for primary stroke prevention using regular blood transfusion. Whether it can also identify high stroke risk in adults with ...
Evaluation of the temporal acoustic window for transcranial doppler in a multi-ethnic population in Brazil
(Elsevier B. V., 2015)
The aim of this study was to relate the presence of a temporal acoustic window (TAW) to the variables sex, age and race. This observational study was conducted in patients under etiologic investigation after stroke, ...
Brazilian Guidelines for transcranial doppler in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease
(Associação Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia e Terapia Celular, 2011-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease is the most common monogenic hereditary disease in Brazil. Although strokes are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients, the use of transcranial Doppler to identify ...
Results from transcranial Doppler examination on children and adolescents with sickle cell disease and correlation between the time-averaged maximum mean velocity and hematological characteristics: a cross-sectional analytical study
(Associação Paulista de Medicina - APM, 2011-05-01)
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detects stroke risk among children with sickle cell anemia (SCA). Our aim was to evaluate TCD findings in patients with different sickle cell disease (SCD) genotypes and ...
