Clinicopathological features of genetically confirmed Danon disease.

Kazuma Sugie, Ayako Yamamoto, +14 authors Ichizo Nishino
Neurology
2002

BACKGROUND Danon disease is due to primary deficiency of lysosome-associated membrane protein-2. OBJECTIVE To define the clinicopathologic features of Danon disease. METHODS The features of 20… (More)

Deferasirox, deferiprone and desferrioxamine treatment in thalassemia major patients: cardiac iron and function comparison determined by quantitative magnetic resonance imaging.

Alessia Pepe, Antonella Meloni, +17 authors Aurelio Maggio
Haematologica
2011

BACKGROUND Oral deferiprone was suggested to be more effective than subcutaneous desferrioxamine for removing heart iron. Oral once-daily chelator deferasirox has recently been made commercially… (More)

Evaluation of a web-based network for reproducible T2* MRI assessment of iron overload in thalassemia

Antonella Meloni, Anna Ramazzotti, +12 authors Luigi Landini
I. J. Medical Informatics
2009

PURPOSE To build and evaluate a national network able to improve the care of thalassemia, a genetic disorder in haemoglobin synthesis often associated with iron accumulation in a variety of organs,… (More)

Cardiac iron overload in sickle-cell disease.

Antonella Meloni, Mammen Puliyel, Alessia Pepe, Vasilios Antonios Berdoukas, Thomas D. Coates, John C. Wood
American journal of hematology
2014

Chronically transfused sickle cell disease (SCD) patients have lower risk of myocardial iron overload (MIO) than comparably transfused thalassemia major (TM) patients. However, cardioprotection is… (More)

Regional and global pancreatic T*2 MRI for iron overload assessment in a large cohort of healthy subjects: normal values and correlation with age and gender.

Gennaro Restaino, Antonella Meloni, +9 authors Alessia Pepe
Magnetic resonance in medicine
2011

Multiecho gradient-echo T*2 magnetic resonance imaging is a well-established technique for iron overload assessment but there are few reports concerning the pancreas. The aim of this work was to… (More)

Cardiac iron and cardiac disease in males and females with transfusion-dependent thalassemia major: a T2* magnetic resonance imaging study.

Maria Marsella, Caterina Borgna-Pignatti, +9 authors Alessia Pepe
Haematologica
2011

BACKGROUND It has been repeatedly reported that female patients with thalassemia major survive longer than males and that the difference is due to a lower rate of cardiac disease in females. DESIGN… (More)

Prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis in children with celiac disease and effect of gluten withdrawal.

Antonella Meloni, Chiara Mandas, Rita Désirée Jores, Mauro Congia
The Journal of pediatrics
2009

OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) in Sardinian children with celiac disease (CD) and the effects of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on thyroid function. STUDY DESIGN… (More)

Cardiac and hepatic iron and ejection fraction in thalassemia major: Multicentre prospective comparison of combined Deferiprone and Deferoxamine therapy against Deferiprone or Deferoxamine Monotherapy

Alessia Pepe, Antonella Meloni, +17 authors Paolo Ricchi
Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance…
2013

BACKGROUND Due to the limited data available in literature, the aim of this multi-centre study was to prospectively compare in thalassemia major (TM) patients the efficacy of combined deferiprone… (More)

Preferential patterns of myocardial iron overload by multislice multiecho T*2 CMR in thalassemia major patients.

Antonella Meloni, Vincenzo Positano, +10 authors Massimo Lombardi
Magnetic resonance in medicine
2010

T*(2) multislice multiecho cardiac MR allows quantification of the segmental distribution of myocardial iron overload. This study aimed to determine if there were preferential patterns of myocardial… (More)

The use of appropriate calibration curves corrects for systematic differences in liver R2* values measured using different software packages.

Antonella Meloni, Hugh Young Rienhoff, Alan S. T. Jones, Alessia Pepe, Massimo Lombardi, John C. Wood
