Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Osteoarthritis

Degeneration (wear and tear) of articular cartilage, i.e., of the joint surface. Joint degeneration may be accompanied by osteophytes (bone overgrowth), narrowing of the joint space, regions of sclerosis at the joint surface, or joint deformity.
