As genome-wide cfDNA screening becomes increasingly available, incidental diagnosis of partial aneuploidies is expected to increase. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.The mammalian immune system has evolved to protect our body from a wide variety of dangers. Fending off pathogens is a major function and under most circumstances it does so efficiently and effectively. However, parasitic pathogens have developed effective means to dampen and abuse the immune system in order to establish themselves within a host. This article is protected by copyright.

This article reviews the evidence pertaining to crizanlizumab in SCD by searching records in Medline, Embase, and International Pharmaceutical Abstracts. Crizanlizumab, a P-selectin inhibitor, mitigates the microvascular vaso-occlusion in SCD. In the multi-center, randomized, double-blind SUSTAIN trial, a higher dose of crizanlizumab decreased the incidence of VOC by 45% and prolonged the median time to the first and second VOC. A post hoc subgroup analysis demonstrated that the proportion of patients who had no VOC incidence during the study period was greater in the crizanlizumab group, and this benefit was consistent regardless of concomitant hydroxyurea use, prior categorized history of VOC frequency, or SCD genotype. Crizanlizumab had a safety profile comparable to placebo. There are multiple ongoing cl
