| Abstract | Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common cause of stroke in childhood and results primarily from a mismatch of cerebral oxygen supply and demand rather than arterial obstruction. However, resting cerebral blood flow (CBF) has not been examined in the general African American population, in whom obesity, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and diminished cerebrovascular reserve capacity are common. To better understand the underlying physiological substrate upon which SCD is superimposed, we measured CBF in 32 young (age 28 ± 10 yr), asymptomatic African American subjects with and without sickle cell trait (n= 14). To characterize the effects of chronic anemia, in isolation of sickle hemoglobin we also studied a cohort of 13 subjects with thalassemia major (n= 10), dyserythropoetic anemia (n= 1), or spherocytosis (n= 2). Blood was analyzed for complete blood count, hemoglobin electrophoresis, cell free hemoglobin, and lactate dehydrogenase. Multivariate regression analysis showed that oxygen content was the strongest predictor of CBF (r(2)= 0.33,P< 0.001). CBF declined rapidly in the second and third decades of life, but this drop was explained by reductions in cerebral gray matter. However, age effects persisted after correction for brain composition, possibly representing microvascular impairment. CBF was independent of viscosity, hemoglobin S%, and body mass index. Hyperoxia resulted in reduced CBF by 12.6% (P= 0.0002), and CBF changes were proportional to baseline oxygen content (r(2)= 0.16,P= 0.02). These data suggest that these hemoglobin subtypes do not alter the normal CBF regulation of the balance of oxygen supply and demand. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
