Gene therapy isn't my forte, and my friend who I'd usually ask is at a conference this week, so I won't disturb her. Can someone tell me if, based on the results of this paper, L-glutamine supplementation in #SickleCell is a good or bad thing? N is pretty low, but that's par for the course with certain #hematology studies.

This is a really important study. Glad I found it.
Sense of coherence or self-efficacy as predictors of health-related quality of life in sickle cell disease patients https://discovery.researcher.life/article/sense-of-coherence-or-self-efficacy-as-predictors-of-health-related-quality-of-life-in-sickle-cell-disease-patients/77b16280c2103ca3b537a4caef258f4f
This study can lead to deeper mental health analyses of #SickleCell patients that can promote more efficacious treatment. It is difficult to have a sense of control of one's life and capacity to advocate and work for oneself when one is in constant pain, and often tethered geographically by their ability to get to the hospital in case of emergency. Plus, many would want to keep going to their preferred providers, so that results in a lot of staying near home.

In today's #SickleCell news:
Association Between Vaso-Occlusive Crises and Opioid Prescriptions Among Patients with Sickle Cell Disease: A Retrospective Claims-Based Study https://discovery.researcher.life/article/association-between-vaso-occlusive-crises-and-opioid-prescriptions-among-patients-with-sickle-cell-disease-a-retrospective-claims-based-study/f01c84e1259d3426a5b6df5fc0b90580
The conclusion makes sense to me, because as we age, the body breaks down from the constant ischemic moments that accumulate over time.

Diet is super important, as usual.
