Background: Rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) include fibrinogen (Factor I), prothrombin (Factor II), Factor V(FV), combined Factor V and Factor VIII, Factor VII, Factor X, Factor XI, Factor XII, and Factor XIII deficiencies. This group accounts for 3-5% of all factor deficiencies. Different symptoms may occur, ranging from mild or moderate bleeding to serious and life-threatening bleeding, which may not be related to the factor level.

In recent years, great progress has been made in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) treatment for hematological malignant diseases because of the advent of novel conditioning regimens, optimized graft manipulation, improved graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, and advances in supportive care. Recent studies have shown very favorable outcomes in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients, with comparable outcomes to those of patients receiving immune suppressive therapy (IST) and allogeneic HSCT from a matched sibling donor (MSD) or matched unrelated donor (MUD). However, most of the previous studies relied on single-center data analyses, and the conditioning regimen, GVHD prophylaxis and supportive care used were relatively singular.

Article Synopsis
- - Each year, around 21 million girls aged 15-19 in developing regions face pregnancy, leading to serious health and economic challenges.
- - A study in Bhubaneswar's Community Health Centre aimed to identify risk factors for teenage pregnancy, revealing that lower education, minority caste, having many siblings, and poor communication about sexual issues significantly increase the risk.
- - Awareness of contraceptive methods was notably lower among pregnant teenagers compared to controls, highlighting a need for better education and communication regarding sexual health and reproductive rights.

Background: Despite the adoption of pediatric-like chemotherapy protocols, the introduction of new immunotherapies and a better understanding of the oncogenic landscape, the outcome for adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain substantially dismal. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the outcome in terms of survival in a cohort of adult patients with ALL who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) between 2013 and 2023.
Methods: This was a single-center observational retrospective study including all consecutive adult patients with ALL who received an alloSCT between April 2013 and April 2023 at the Stem Cell Transplant Center AOU Città della Salute e della Scienza of Torino.
