Psychosocial variables are key factors influencing the delicate equilibrium of chronic patients during crisis time. In this study, we explored distress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, coping strategies, and changes in life habits in 43 beta-thalassemia patients and 86 controls during Covid-19 pandemic. Patients showed higher anxiety levels and a predominant transcendent coping profile compared to controls. Patients significantly differed from controls in outdoor habits. Social isolation and habits changes in uncertain life-threaten situations as Covid-19 pandemic are particularly detrimental in fragile beta-thalassemia patients. Structured support interventions are needed to promote well-being in the Covid-19 era.

Cooley's Anemia

A cross-sectional study of 138 patients with Cooley's anemia, from 2 to 28 years of age, demonstrated retardation in height and weight except for children under the age of 4 years. Head circumference showed no consistent deviation from normal. A tendency was found for both height and weight to fall further behind the normal average with increasing age during the growing years. The degree of retardation appeared of significant magnitude only by the age of 9 to 10 years which is probably the age when the retardation in growth became noticeable to the observer. The degree of anemia showed only slight correlation with the degree of retardation in height and weight. Systemic abnormalities, however, that reflect the severity of the illness appeared to parallel the retardation of growth.

Introduction: Numerous studies have shown the presence of renal dysfunction in patients with beta thalassemia major (βTM). According to iron overload and effects on renal, evaluation of renal function in βTM can cause better control of them. Objectives: In this study, we evaluated renal function in children and adults with βTM. Patients and Methods: Sixty patients (38 male and 22 female) with βTM, and 60 healthy control subjects (25 males and 35 females), were participated in this cross-sectional study. Biochemical and urine analysis were conducted to evaluate renal function. Additionally, patients were classified based on the administration of iron chelators including deferoxamine (Desferal), deferiprone (L1), deferasirox (Exjade) and combination therapy. Results: Renal dysfunctions such as hyperfiltration and proteinuria were common findings in patients compared with the normal group. Hypercalciuria was found only in patients groups receiving Exjade. Hyperfiltration was detected in all patients. Proteinuria was no related to drug administration. Conclusion: We found a high percentage of our βTM patients who had renal dysfunction as evidenced by proteinuria and hyperfiltration.
