Beyond Standard Half‐Life: Real‐world Pharmacokinetics of Efanesoctocog Alfa in a Single Centre

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Efanesoctocog alfa (EFA) is an ultra–extended half‐life factor VIII (FVIII) developed to address limitations of conventional prophylaxis in haemophilia A. Although the XTEND trials reported low interindividual pharmacokinetic (PK) variability, real‐world data remain important to better characterize PK profiles across patient ...

Bioequivalence of von Willebrand factor-containing concentrates: implications for the choice in patients with von Willebrand disease. A position paper from the Italian Association of Hemophilia Centers

Bleeding, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder caused by quantitative and/or qualitative defects of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric glycoprotein synthesized by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes. VWF plays a crucial role in hemostasis by

Small Bowel Lesions and Bleeding Risk in Hemodialysis Patients: A Narrative Review

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Gastrointestinal bleeding is very common among hemodialysis patients. This high bleeding risk is caused by uremic platelet dysfunction, vascular fragility, intradialytic hemodynamic instability, and widespread antithrombotic therapy.

How I Investigate Borderline Prolonged aPTT: An Integrated Laboratory Approach to Mixing Studies and Factor Analysis

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Borderline prolongation of routine clotting assays—particularly the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)—is a common interpretative challenge in laboratory hematology. These reproducible but mildly prolonged results often lie just beyond the upper reference limit and can trigger unnecessary follow‐up, delays, or misinterpretation ...

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes
