Depression and anxiety in persons with Von Willebrand disease
Abstract Objective We assessed sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with depression and anxiety in individuals with Von Willebrand disease (VWD) aged ≥12 years. Methods The study collected data on patients’ sociodemographic, joint problems and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) using EQ‐5D‐3L, 8‐item patient health questionnaire

Abstract Water homeostasis is tightly regulated by the kidneys via the process of urine concentration. During reduced water intake, the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) binds to the vasopressin receptor type II (V2R) in the kidney to enhance countercurrent multiplication and medullary osmolality, and increase water reabsorption via ...

Abstract Introduction Desmopressin can be used to prevent bleeding in von Willebrand disease (VWD), but the relationship between desmopressin and von Willebrand factor activity (VWF:Act) has yet to be quantified. Aim To quantify the relationship between desmopressin dose, its plasma concentration and the VWF:Act response in type 1 VWD patients ...

Desmopressin testing in von Willebrand disease: Lowering the burden
Abstract Background Individuals with von Willebrand disease (VWD) require desmopressin testing because of interindividual response differences. However, testing is burdensome, while not all patients may need extensive testing. Objectives To provide von Willebrand factor (VWF) cutoffs that predict desmopressin nonresponse and thereby identify ...

Synthetic Vasopressin and Oxytocin Analogs and Their Potential Use in Hemorrhagic, Traumatic and Septic Shock: A Personal Perspective [PDF]
As one of us has stated many years ago, “shock is a significant and sustained loss of effective circulating blood volume. It will eventuate in hypoperfusion of critical peripheral tissues, thus leading to a deficit in transcapillary exchange function in ...
