Thalassemia
Book Summary: Jude, a normal girl until the age of three, was diagnosed with Beta Thalassemia Major that taught her to live life with passion and to be grateful for all her blessings. During the same year of Judes diagnosis, her sister Sarah was diagnosed with the same genetic blood disorder, leaving both their parents heartbroken. Although Jude hated Thalassemia at times, blamed herself for all the struggles she faced, she made herself believe that enduring pain will make her stronger. Both sisters have kept Thalassemia a secret from their closest friends in order for them not to be treated differently. They were there for each other no matter what challenge they had facing them. It is a heartfelt and touching journey that unravels the unbroken sisterly bond, inner strength and the constant struggle that never seems to end.
The Thalassaemia Syndromes
In the new edition of this successful and authoritative book, the thalassaemias are reviewed in detail with respect to their clinical features, cellular pathology, molecular genetics, prevention and treatment. It is aimed at specialists in haematology in the laboratory or clinical setting, particularly in areas where thalassaemia is common either in the native population or in immigrant communities. The fourth edition has been both updated and re-organized. Three new chapters have been added on the link between alpha-thalassaemia and mental retardation, on avoidance and population control and on global epidemiology. Considerable emphasis is placed on molecular pathology reflecting the huge burst of information to have come out of this field in the last few years.

Thalassemia
Thalassemia is one of the most common genetic disorders worldwide and presents major public health and social challenges in areas of high incidence. The frequency of this disorder varies considerably with geographic locations and racial groups. Thalassemia refers to a group of inherited hemolytic anemia disorders that involve defects in the synthesis of hemoglobin α- or β-polypeptide chains. It leads to decreased hemoglobin production and hypochromic microcytic anemia associated with erythrocyte dysplasia and destruction. Homozygous β-thalassemia (also known as thalassemia major, Cooley's anemia, or Mediterranean anemia) is associated with the most severe signs and symptoms. Thalassemia m...
Thalassaemia: The Biography
Presents a history of thalassemia, a genetic disorder in which the body destroys abnormally-shaped hemoglobin cells at a rate that leads to anemia.
Thalassemia and Other Hemolytic Anemias
Thalassemia is a very common disease first described by pediatrician Thomas Benton Cooley in 1925 who described it in a patient of Italian origin. At that time, it was designated as Cooley's anemia. George Hoyt Whipple, a Nobel prize winner, and W. L. Bradford, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester, coined the term thalassemia in 1936, which in Greek means anemia of the sea (Thalassa means "sea", and emia means "blood"), due to the fact that it is very common in the area of the Mediterranean Sea. This name is actually misleading because it can occur everywhere in the world. Thalassemia is not a single disease; it is rather a group of hereditary disorders of the production of globulin chain of the hemoglobin. Throughout the world, thalassemia affects approximately 4.4 of every 10,000 live births. It represents a major social and emotional impact on the patient and his family and a major burden on health services where the prevalence is high.
Beta Thalassemia
Beta thalassemia is a common blood disorder worldwide. Thousands of infants with beta thalassemia are born each year. This book covers most of the aspects related to this disease and greatly helps in understanding this disease and its complications. Of interest are clinical studies as well as basic and translational research reports regarding pathogenesis, genetics, diagnosis as well as standard and novel therapies. This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of today’s practices and tomorrow’s possibilities about beta thalassemia.
