Do serum copeptin and cortisol accurately predict sickle cell anaemia vaso-occlusive crisis as C-reactive protein?
It could be concluded that C-reactive protein has a superior diagnostic performance for vaso-occlusive crisis in individuals with sickle cell anaemia and that C-reactive protein, cortisol and copeptin are not good prognostic markers in SCA subjects in vaso-occlusive crisis.
miR-181a is a hypoxia-regulated microRNA that is overexpressed in chondrosarcoma and enhances VEGF expression, an effect that could be inhibited by anti-miR-181a.
