Current use of by-passing agents in Europe in the management of acute bleeds in patients with haemophilia and inhibitors.
The ultimate goal of treatment for patients with inhibitory antibodies should be to permanently eradicate the inhibitor by immune tolerance induction therapy (ITI). However, ITI procedures fail in a substantial number of patients and in many countries ITI is not even offered owing to its high cost. How patients with inhibitors are managed in different European countries is evaluated with a special
Ultra Low Voltage Synthesizable Memories: A Trade-Off Discussion in 65nm CMOS
In this study, design considerations for ultra low voltage (ULV) standard-cell based memories (SCM) are presented. Trade-offs for area cost, leakage power, access time, and access energy are discussed and realized using different read logic styles, latch architecture designs, and process options. Furthermore, deployment of multiple threshold voltages (Vth) options in a single standard-cell/bitcell
First 20 years with recombinant FVIIa (NovoSeven).
Summary. This review describes the background for the development of recombinant FVIIa (rFVIIa; NovoSeven) for use in haemophilic patients with inhibitors. The first proof of principle for using pharmacological doses of FVIIa as a haemostatic agent was obtained by producing small amounts of pure plasma-derived FVIIa, which showed encouraging effect in two patients with haemophilia A and inhibitors
The V433M Variant of the CYP4F2 Is Associated With Ischemic Stroke in Male Swedes Beyond Its Effect on Blood Pressure.
Cytochrome (CYP) 4A11 and CYP4F2 are responsible for renal production of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, a vasoconstrictor and natriuretic substance. The CYP4A11 F434S and CYP4F2 V433M polymorphisms reduce 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid production in vitro. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of these polymorphisms on blood pressure (BP) levels, hypertension prevalence, and r
In vitro and in vivo evaluation of chemically modified degradable starch microspheres for topical haemostasis.
Degradable starch microspheres (DSMs) are starch chains cross-linked with epichlorhydrin, forming glycerol-ether links. DSMs have been used for many years for temporary vascular occlusion and drug delivery in treatment of malignancies. They are also approved and used for topical haemostasis by absorbing excess fluid from the blood and concentrating endogenous coagulation factors, thereby facilitat
Comparison of imatinib 400 mg and 800 mg daily in the front-line treatment of high-risk, Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia: a European LeukemiaNet Study.
Imatinib mesylate (IM), 400 mg daily, is the standard treatment of Philadelphia-positive (Ph(+)) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Preclinical data and results of single-arm studies raised the suggestion that better results could be achieved with a higher dose. To investigate whether the systematic use of a higher dose of IM could lead to better results, 216 patients with Ph(+) CML at high risk (HR)
Atrial fibrillatory rate in the clinical context: natural course and prediction of intervention outcome.
Shortening of atrial refractory period during atrial fibrillation has been considered a hallmark of atrial electrical remodelling. The atrial fibrillatory cycle length, which is intimately related to the atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR), is generally accepted as a surrogate marker for local refractoriness. The value of using AFR to monitor the progress of atrial ablation therapy has been demonstrate
TCP/IP over the Bluetooth wireless ad-hoc network
Bluetooth is a wireless ad-hoc network concept that was presented in February 1998 by its five original promoters Ericsson, Nokia, IBM, Toshiba and Intel. With Bluetooth, mobile terminals within range of each other can set up ad-hoc connections for both synchronous traffic, e.g. voice, and asynchronous traffic, e.g. IP-based data traffic. In this paper we analyse how well Bluetooth can carry TCP/I
The effect of perimetric experience in normal subjets
Two groups of normal subjects were submitted to repeated automated static threshold perimetry. Perimetric results were strongly affected by the level of experience in some subjects; in the majority, however, the effect of experience was small. Initial field tests often showed high numbers of depressed points. Sensitivity increased with perimetric training, particularly between the first sessions.
Conditions for Reconciliation: Narratives of Survivors from the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Abstract in Uncoded languages Namen prispevka:Namen prispevka je analizirati ponovno podane izkušnje 27-ih preživelih vojne v Bosni in Hercegovini v 90-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja. V pripovedih smo pregledali verbalne znake sprave in pomiritve ter analizirali opisane izraze za spravo. Metode: Gradivo za raziskavo je bilo zbrano s kvalitativnimi intervjuji 27-ih posameznikov, ki so preživeli vojnoPurpose: The aim of this article was to analyze the retold experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have examined verbal markers of reconciliation and implacability and analyzed the described terms for reconciliation that are being actualized in the narratives. Design: The material for the study was gathered through qualitative interviews with 27 individuals who
Optical properties of doped antiferromagnets
We investigate the consequences of an incommensurate magnetic order in doped La2-xSrxCuO4 using dynamical mean-field theory for the effective single-band model. The high-energy optical transitions are due to high-energy excitations across large Mott-Hubbard 'gap,' while low-energy excitations involve a pseudogap induced by the local spin order. The latter lead to a strong drop in the scattering ra
A new automated method for analysis of rCBF-SPECT images based on the active-shape algorithm: normal values.
Most nuclear medicine clinicians use only visual assessment when interpreting regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) from single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images in clinical practice. The aims of this study were to develop a new, easy to use, automated method for quantification of rCBF-SPECT and to create normal values by using the method on a normal population. We developed a 3-dim
The influence of posterior-inferior tibial slope in ACL injury.
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of different posterior-inferior tibial slope (PITS) angles on ACL injury at non-contact sports, knee laxity and the need for ACL reconstruction. METHODS: One hundred patients with an acute, arthroscopically verified total ACL rupture were followed prospectively with the intention of treating the injury without reconstruction. Knee laxity was assessed with the Lachman
Multiconfigurational Hartree-fock Calculations of Hyperfine-induced Transitions In Helium-like Ions
Early Development of Secondary Hyperparathyroidism following Renal Transplantation.
Background: The optimal level of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) post renal transplantation (RT) is not known. We aimed to describe the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in a Swedish population of RT recipients and report morbidity in terms of fractures and vascular events in the first post transplant year. We also aimed to identify pre RT factors that influence levels of iPTH
Perceived and Ideal Body Image in Young Women in South Western Saudi Arabia.
The aim of this study was to investigate perceived and ideal body image (BI) and associated factors among female university students in Saudi Arabia.
Level crossing prediction with neural networks
A level crossing predictor or alarm system with prediction horizon k is said to be optimal if it, at time t detects that an upcrossing will occur at time t + k, with a certain high probability and simultaneously gives a minimum number of false alarms. For a Gaussian stationary process, the optimal level crossing predictor can be explicitly specified in terms of the predicted value of the process i
Some results on fast algebraic attacks and higher-order non-linearities
In this study, the authors investigate the resistance of Boolean functions against fast algebraic attacks and deduce a bound between fast algebraic immunity and higher-order non-linearity (it is the first time that a bound between these two cryptographic criteria is given). The authors then show that the fast algebraic immunity of the following two classes of Boolean functions is not good: (a) The

Background: The recent substantial increase in the number of obese surgeries performed in Sweden has raised concerns about the budget impact. Objective: Our aim in this paper is to present an assessment of the budgetary impact of different policies for surgical intervention for obese and overweight subjects from a healthcare perspective in Sweden. Methods: The model simulates the annual expecte
