The multicenter prospective non-interventional AHEAD study was initiated to obtain long-term outcome data on joint health, HR-QoL, haemophilia-related co-morbidities, and the effectiveness and safety of ADVATE (recombinant anti-hemophilic factor VIII, plasma-free method [octocog alfa]) in routine clinical practice. The German AHEAD study arm aims to enroll up to 500 patients in up to 35 haemophilia treatment centers (HTCs); patient recruitment started in June 2010. The study arm conducted in other European countries is expected to enroll 350 patients from more than 50 HTCs; recruitment started in June 2011. In both study arms, recruitment will continue through the end of 2015, and each enrolled patient will be followed for a total of four years.

Treatment options for older adults with relapsed multiple myeloma are constrained by the toxicities of existing treatments, the ageing-associated vulnerabilities that may increase the risk of poor treatment tolerance and patient preferences for treatments that do not impair their function or cognition. The study by Toussea et al. epitomizes approaches to designing trials specifically for more vulnerable older adults and moves the field forward with a regimen of great interest for older adults experiencing their first relapse.

In current alloplastic total temporomandibular joint replacements (TMJRs) typically the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) insertion is sacrificed, affecting joint function. This study assesses a novel additively manufactured TMJR (CADskills BV, Gent, Belgium) designed to enable LPM reinsertion through a scaffold feature on the implant. Thirteen TMJRs were implanted in Swifter crossbreed sheep, with follow-up CT scans after 288 days to evaluate LPM reintegration.

Vibrating muscles to manipulate proprioceptive input creates the sensation of an apparent change in body position. This study investigates whether vibrating the right biceps muscle has similar effects as vibrating the left posterior neck muscles. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that both types of muscle vibration would shift the perception of healthy subjects' subjective straight-ahead (SSA) orientation in the horizontal plane to the left.

Vitiligo pathogenesis is complex. There is some evidence in support of the neurohormonal pathways involved. Although considered a nonpruritic condition, some patients may experience itching, which can occur ahead of the appearance of the patches.
