Many patients with haemophilia have been chronically infected with hepatitis virus owing to multiple transfusions and the prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma will probably increase in this population. We evaluated the safety and complications of radiological intervention for hepatocellular carcinoma in eight patients with haemophilia and cirrhosis. Radiological interventions can be performed safely in all patients with haemophilia. Unexpectedly, the most common complication was bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract. Attention should be paid to this potential problem in order to take appropriate steps to minimize its occurrence.

Background: When using electronic health records (EHRs) to conduct population-based studies on inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs), using diagnosis codes alone results in a high number of false positive identifications.
Objective: The objective of this study was to develop and validate an algorithm that uses multiple data elements of EHRs to identify pregnant women with IBDs.
Methods: The population included pregnant women who had at least one live birth or fetal death (>20 weeks gestation) at our institution from 2016 to 2023.

Background: Although more than four years have passed since the pandemic began, SARS-CoV-2 continues to be of concern. Therefore, research into the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development of the disease, especially in more severe forms, remains a priority. Sustained activation of the complement (CS), contact (CAS), and fibrinolytic and kinin-kallikrein systems (KKS) has been shown to play a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Clinical Features: Sickle cell patients may develop a multitude of antibodies and experience life-threatening events with transfusion such as hyperhemolysis syndrome or delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction. Further transfusion may not be possible in such cases.
Therapeutic Challenge: When conventional blood products are not available for transfusion yet the patient requires additional oxygen-carrying support, artificial oxygen carriers may be required.

Hemophilia A (HA) is caused by mutations in coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Genome editing in conjunction with patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is a promising cell therapy strategy, as it replaces dysfunctional proteins resulting from genetic mutations with normal proteins. However, the low expression level and short half-life of FVIII still remain significant limiting factors in the efficacy of these approaches in HA.

Various therapeutic strategies have been developed to treat Pancreatic Cancer (PaCa). Unfortunately, most efforts have proved unfruitful, as the poor prognosis observed in this disease has only attained little improvement in the past 40 years. Recently, deeper understanding of the immune system and its interaction with malignant tumors have allowed significant advances in immunotherapy.
