Acquired hemophilia A is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening clinical entity mediated by specific autoantibodies direct against coagulation factor VIII. It may be associated with a number of conditions such as solid malignancies, autoimmune diseases, lymphoproliferative disorders, and drugs. Early recognition of this entity is necessary to avoid a delay in treatment, which might lead to serious complications including severe bleeding and death. Hereby, we report a case of acquired hemophilia A caused by a commonly used drug, penicillin, as well as the first reported case, to our knowledge, of acquired Factor VIII inhibitor secondary to paclitaxel.

Recent studies on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumorigenesis have revealed several dysregulated molecular pathways. The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is frequently activated in HNSCC, making it an attractive target for therapies. PHT-427 is a dual inhibitor of PI3K and the mammalian target of AKT/PDK1.

This study examines the impact of the Westcott g-factor on the concentration of elements like In, Ir, Re, Yb, Eu and Lu, measured using neutron capture reactions (n,γ), specifically focusing on those reactions, whose thermal neutron capture cross-sections (σ ) deviate from the conventional '1/v' behaviour. These measurements are quantified using k₀-based neutron activation analysis. The Westcott g-factor for the non-1/v nuclides was calculated using the characterized neutron temperature (T) at PFTS irradiation channel of KAMINI reactor.

Hemophilia A is a hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII, leading to significant morbidity and a reduced quality of life. This review provides an updated overview of the current understanding of hemophilia A, highlighting its genetic underpinnings and advancements in treatment strategies. A literature review was conducted using various available databases.

Background: Variants within factor VIII (F8) are associated with sex-linked hemophilia A and thrombosis, with gene therapy approaches being available for pathogenic variants. Many variants within F8 remain variants of uncertain significance (VUS) or are under-explored as to their connections to phenotypic outcomes.
Methods: We assessed data on F8 expression while screening the UniProt, ClinVar, Geno2MP, and gnomAD databases for F8 missense variants; these collectively represent the sequencing of more than a million individuals.
