Haemophilia B in Algeria: Realities and therapeutic perspectives.

Introduction: Haemophilia B is a debilitating hereditary coagulation disorder characterized by prolonged or spontaneous episodes of bleeding caused by a deficiency of endogenous factor IX. In Algeria, even though many studies are being carried out to evaluate the prevalence and management of haemophilia B, there is a paucity of locally published literature that can be used to understand the most recent information on the disease's epidemiology, diagnostic techniques and treatment options.

Aims: The aim of this manuscript is to raise awareness among patients and family clinicians about current practices, recent developments and unmet needs related to haemophilia B in Algeria.

Genetic Background of β-Thalassemia in Northeast Algeria with Assessment of the Thalassemia Severity Score and Description of a new β-Thalassemia Frameshift Mutation (: c.374dup; p.Pro126Thrfs*15).

β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is a genetic disorder representing a major health problem in Algeria. Our first objective was to determine the allelic frequencies and molecular spectrum of β-thal mutations in patients with major hemoglobinopathies [β-thal major (β-TM) and sickle cell disease] in three provinces of northeast Algeria. Our second objective was to assess if the clinical management of β-TM patients depended on their region of origin.

Home treatment of haemarthrosis with recombinant activated factor VII in patients with haemophilia A or B and inhibitors: experience from developing countries.

Home therapy for uncomplicated mild/moderate bleeding can decrease healthcare burden, promote self-esteem, reduce complications, and provide near-normal quality of life. To evaluate recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) as home therapy for joint bleeds in Algeria, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. Twenty-seven patients aged more than 2 years with congenital haemophilia and inhibitors were monitored for up to 8 months after a first haemarthrosis episode treated with rFVIIa.

A population-based study of the epidemiology and clinical features of adults with acute myeloid leukemia in Algeria: report on behalf of the Algerian Acute Leukemia Study Group.

Background And Objectives: In Algeria, the incidence of hematologic malignancies has been difficult to estimate for many years. Today, many hematological centers, including 14 university hospitals, have been developed in the entire north and have useful epidemiological data pertinent to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We studied the incidence of AML and its subtypes, age distribution, geographic distribution and trends in the rate of diagnosis over the last 5 years in Algeria.

Comparison between classical and innovative class-modelling techniques for the characterisation of a PDO olive oil.

An authentication study of the Italian PDO (protected designation of origin) olive oil Chianti Classico, based on near-infrared and UV-Visible spectroscopy, an artificial nose and an artificial tongue, with a set of samples representative of the whole Chianti Classico production and a considerable number of samples from a close production area (Maremma) was performed. The non-specific signals provided by the four fingerprinting analytical techniques, after a proper pre-processing, were used for building class models for Chianti Classico oils. The outcomes of classical class-modelling techniques like soft independent modelling of class analogy and quadratic discriminant analysis-unequal dispersed classes were compared with those of two techniques recently introduced into Chemometrics: multivariate range modelling and CAIMAN analogues modelling methods.
