How this disease changes the shape of your cells - Amber Yates
What shape are your cells? You might not spend a lot of time thinking about the bodies of these building blocks, but microscopically, small variations can have huge consequences. And while some adaptations change these shapes for the better, others can spark debilitating complications. Amber M. Yates dives into the science of the malignant sickle-cell mutation.

2019-2020 ASH Clinical Practice Guidelines on SCD
The American Society of Hematology (ASH) initiated an effort to develop clinical practice guidelines on Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) to identify best practices for the management of acute and chronic complications of SCD and ways to improve the quality of care for patients.
It is essential to provide updated treatment guidelines that reflect the newest evidence about the disease, ensuring the medical community can better treat SCD and people with SCD can make the best decisions for their care.
Here following the available guidelines:
- American Society of Hematology 2019 guidelines for sickle cell disease: cardiopulmonary and kidney disease
- American Society of Hematology 2020 guidelines for sickle cell disease: transfusion support
- American Society of Hematology 2020 guidelines for sickle cell disease: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cerebrovascular disease in children and adults
- American Society of Hematology 2020 guidelines for sickle cell disease: management of acute and chronic pain
