  • Screening for Sickle Cell Disease (with Prof David Rees)
    Nov 8 2024

    Join us for an insightful episode featuring Prof David Rees from King’s College Hospital in London as he discusses screening practices for Sickle Cell disease (SCD). Hosted by Dr Sarah de Vlieger, this discussion explores both antenatal and neonatal screening practices for Sickle Cell disease.

    The conversation begins with an examination of antenatal screening challenges, comparing various techniques such as carrier screening, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, and emerging non-invasive prenatal testing. Prof Rees and Dr de Vlieger then address the complex decisions arising from these test results and the disparities in screening access across different countries and cultures.


    Moving to neonatal screening, Prof Rees emphasizes its crucial role in implementing early preventive measures. He advocates for the inclusion of Sickle Cell testing in general neonatal screening programs throughout Europe and aspires for screening to become more accessible in regions with higher disease prevalence.

    Host: Sarah de Vlieger, EHA Head of Education

  • The Environmental Impact on Hematology Practice (with Dr Stephen Hibbs)
    Nov 1 2024

    Join us for an engaging episode with Dr. Stephen Hibbs from Queen Mary University of London as he discusses the environmental impacts of hematology. Alongside our host Dr. Sarah de Vlieger, they explore how climate change is already affecting hematology, emphasizing that these effects are being felt now rather than in the future.

    The conversation highlights how climate change alters aspects of hematology practice, such as the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections due to evolving disease vectors. Dr. Hibbs describes also the surprising link between extreme heat during pregnancy and an increased risk of children developing ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). He further discusses practice-changing initiatives, like using sevoflurane instead of desflurane as an anesthetic to reduce environmental impact, and explains his work on improving the logistics of blood transfusions to lessen their ecological footprint.

    Finally, Dr. Hibbs encourages hematologists to focus on actionable steps to minimize their environmental impact, advocating for practical changes in clinical practices and increased awareness of the healthcare sector's contribution to global emissions.

  • Synthetic Patients: The Future of Clinical Trials?
    Oct 25 2024

    Join us in this podcast episode, exploring with Prof Matteo Della Porta (Humanitas Research Hospital, Milano, Italy) the emerging role of "synthetic patients" in hematological clinical trials. Innovative generative artificial intelligence models allow today to create synthetic data set based on real patients, suitable to be used as control groups in clinical trials, helping in the identification of disease mechanisms and improving the prognostic risk prediction.

    Prof Della Porta will dig into the challenges and opportunities linked to these new technologies, from the overcoming of privacy barriers to the regulatory needs required with the advent of synthetic data in clinical trial settings, opening the door for novel models in clinical research.

    Host: Dr Enrica Orsini
