Screening for childhood anaemia using copper sulphate densitometry
… sulphate densitometry as a screening method for anaemia in children. The accuracy of copper sulphate densitometry was also compared to clinical assessment for the presence of pallor and haemoglobin measurement with a BMS-haemoglobinometer. Different observers performed these three screening tests …

Anaemia in a South African colorectal ERAS programme – identifying the prevalence and predictors of preoperative anaemia and the effect on post-operative complications and length of stay
Background: Anaemia is a widespread public health problem associated with increased mortality and morbidity. In a surgical population, the prevalence of preoperative anaemia often exceeds that of the general population. Elective colorectal patients often have multiple risk factors for preoperative …

Interactions between the haematopoietic stem cell and the myeloid microenvironment in aplastic anaemia
In patients with aplastic anaemia that respond to immunosuppressive therapy, quantitative, morphological and functional haematologic derangement have been reported. To explain these findings, abnormalities in the marrow stroma or the stem cell have been postulated. To define the relative …

Fanconi Anaemia DNA crosslink repair factors protect against LINE-1 retrotransposition during mammalian development
… using reverse genetics, I show that Fanconi Anaemia DNA inter-strand crosslink (FA ICL) repair factors act in concert to restrict LINE-1 retrotransposition. Moreover, by purifying the recombinant FA ICL repair incision complex (SLX4-XPF-ERCC1), I show that it can cleave intermediates of …
