Felicia Ikolo: Could Earlier Oxygen Therapy Change the Course of Sickle Cell Crisis?

Felicia Ikolo, Associate Professor at St. George’s University, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Biomedicines MDPI, adding:

“Can early oxygen intervention help break the hypoxia-driven vicious cycle in a sickle cell vaso-occlusive crisis?

​Delighted to share our new structured narrative review published in Biomedicines MDPI!

​In this paper, our interdisciplinary team at St. George’s University explores the molecular rationale behind early oxygen administration, highlighting the urgent need for rigorous clinical studies and practical solutions that could benefit resource-limited health systems.

​Proud to have collaborated with an incredible group of student and faculty co-authors on this global health initiative!”
