2.798. Gene therapy reduces stroke risk factors in sickle cell disease patients

  • 2 months ago schedule

Gene therapy for sickle cell disease may help improve a major contributing factor to stroke risk in patients, reports a new study from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Many people with sickle cell disease experience increased brain ischemia, where oxygen is not delivered properly to brain tissues, potentially leading to strokes. A part of the risk for these events comes from increased blood flow speed in the brain. Findings from three patients in a gene therapy clinical trial showed that gene therapy treatment significantly improved blood flow in the brain. These results demonstrate that people with these risk factors may benefit from gene therapy and should be considered for future clinical trials of gene therapy. The findings were published in the American Journal of Hematology.

Efforts in the early 20th century to improve the quality of medical education in the United States led to a steep decline in the number of medical schools and medical school graduates. In a new study, researchers examined the consequences of these medical school closures between 1900 and 1930 for the number of county-level physicians, nurses, and midwives, and for infant, non-infant, and total mortality. The closures led to a 4% reduction in physicians per capita and resulted in declines in infant mortality, non-infant mortality, and total mortality, they found.
