This is three times what is previously know. Only 400,000 people globally were estimate to have the disorder which is caused by a defect in the F8 or F9 gene which encodes instructions for making the factor proteins that helps blood clot. For those with hemophilia, lack of treatment leads to chronic and disabling joint…
The study find that the a new method for super-cooling human donor livers to subzero centigrade temperatures without freezing can triple the time that a donor organ stays safe and viable during transportation from the donor to the recipient. This development could greatly expand the availability of healthy livers for transplantation, improve organ utilization, and…
The researches find that the blood-clotting diseases, namely thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, or TTP, and hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, show similar pathologies a multitude of painful blockages in small blood vessels that cause varying degrees of organ injury throughout the body. However, the two disorders have distinct biological mechanisms. Therefore Now, in a preclinical study…
The researches find that the most common cause of cardiovascular death in Europe, after heart attack and stroke, contributing to more than 350,000 deaths each year. A blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, usually in the legs, is dislodged and travels to the lungs where it blocks one or more vessels. Therefore This typically…

The researches find that the oral anticoagulation with vs without an antiplatelet agent in patients with both atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). In such patients with or without a history of revascularization, use of a novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) alone was “noninferior” to the NOAC plus an antiplatelet agent for a…
The study find that the transplantation of kidneys from Hepatitis C-infected donors to uninfected recipients is safe and can be successfully implemented as a standard of care, according to an observational study by physicians at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and the James D. Eason Transplant Institute at Methodist University Hospital. Therefore The…
The researches find that the dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin resulted in a net benefit vs aspirin alone when balancing the risks of a recurrent stroke against a hemorrhagic event; pooled data from two randomized, double-blind studies suggests. The analysis used individual patient-level data on more than 10,000 participants in the previously reported CHANCE and POINT…
The study find that the tandem autologous stem-cell transplant (ASCT) may provide better event-free survival (EFS) in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma, compared with single ASCT, a new clinical trial shows. Therefore “Although it was our hypothesis that tandem transplant would decrease risk for recurrence, we were surprised by the positive results, including the magnitude of…
The researches find that the blood clot that forms can vary in size depending on how much blood is present. The blood clot may come out when removing tissues from the nose, but it can stay there for longer. It is possible to remove a blood clot by gently blowing the nose when the nosebleed…
The researches find that the thrombocytopenia and bleeding are events that often occur together in neonates, this may not signify cause and effect. In fact, one study reported that 91% of neonates with low platelet counts did not develop major hemorrhage. Despite this, platelet counts are regarded as a reliable marker to determine the need…
The researches find that the Uterus transplantation (UTx) is a quality-of-life enhancing transplantation and the first available treatment for absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI), which affects around 20 000 women of fertile age in a general population of 100 million (Milliez, 2009; Sieunarine et al., 2005). The success of this type of transplantation was initially…
