Sickle cell disease is best known as an inherited hemolytic disorder of defective hemoglobin that distorts red blood cell morphology, function and lifespan. It is less well known as a disease that targets the microvasculature, characterized by increased expression of cell adhesion molecules, enhanced production of reactive oxygen species, abnormal blood cell-endothelial cell interactions in postcapillary venules and altered vasomotor responses in arterioles. These microvascular responses are crucial to the initiation and progression of vasoocclusive crises, the disease's critical pathophysiological event that leads to pain crises, organ injury and early mortality. This work considers sickle cell disease vascular pathology in terms of the cellular, molecular and biochemical players that participate in the evolution,progression and resolution of vasoocclusive crises. The work provides a comprehensive overview of the complex pathophysiology of sickle cell disease and is an ideal reference source for professionals in the medical and scientific community.

Mountaineering narratives are ripe for ecocritical study. Climbing books describe feats of daring, often ending in heroic success or miserable tragedy. But few have asked what implications mountaineering literature may have on our cultural mindset and environmental ethics. This thesis explores that question, and examines how metaphors in mountaineering narratives can reveal underlying environmental ethics. While predominant metaphors visualize the mountains and environment as objectives, enemies, and arenas for human competition, more recent mountaineering texts offer a wider range of metaphors, including metaphors of goddess and spirit. These metaphors encourage a sustainable environmental ethics by implying an interconnected relationship between earth and humanity, which may in turn have positive consequences for human society. By understanding the inherent assumptions in language, we can choose to resist metaphors that allow us to harm the world and instead choose metaphors that will help us keep the entire biotic community beautiful and stable.
