Background: In a previous smaller study, we found evidence of a diminished global coagulation capacity after maximal exercise in patients with severe haemophilia A (HA).
Aim: To validate these results, we repeated the study in a larger cohort. We also examined if the exercise-induced increased levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) might prolong the effect of factor concentrate administered just before exercise.
Methods: We studied individual and global coagulation parameters after maximal physical exercise in 10 persons with severe HA and 10 healthy matched control subjects. Blood samples were taken before, 10 minutes, 60 minutes and 4 hours after exercise.
Results: Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and thrombin generation assay-calibrated automated thrombogram (TGA-CAT) showed significantly increased coagulation capacity after maximal exercise in healthy controls but not in patients with severe HA. VWF antigen and activity levels increased significantly in both groups, whereas FVIII:C only showed a significant increase in the control group. No statistically significant differences were seen between FVIII pharmacokinetic results obtained with and without exercise.
Conclusion: Our findings do not support the presence of a FVIII-independent mechanism that increases global coagulation, but rather underscores the importance of FVIII in mediating the increased coagulation capacity seen after exercise. Our results could not support the hypothesis that exercise-induced increased levels of VWF for patients with severe HA lead to a prolonged effect of factor concentrate administered just before exercise.

In an effort to mitigate or reverse the pathological progression of early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), this study employed a promising strategy that involves the sustained delivery of osteogenic factors to augment core decompression, facilitated by the use of composite hydrogels. Specifically, a hydrogel was synthesized by blending chitosan, Pluronic F-127, and tripolyphosphate, utilizing both ionic bonding and copolymer micelle cross-linking techniques. This hydrogel demonstrated exceptional biocompatibility, temperature responsiveness, pH-dependent biodegradation, and controlled release properties.

The management of wounds infected with drug-resistant bacteria represents a significant challenge to public health globally. Nanotechnology-functionalized photothermal hydrogel with good thermal stability, biocompatibility and tissue adhesion exhibits great potential in treating these infected wounds. Herein, a novel photothermal hydrogel (mCS-Cu-Ser) was prepared through in situ mineralization in the hydrogel networks and ion cross-linking driven by copper ions (∼3 mM).

Drug-resistant bacterial infections represent a critical global public health challenge, driven largely by the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Tackling the growing threat of bacterial resistance necessitates the development of innovative antibacterial agents that function independently of traditional antibiotics. In this study, novel antibacterial nano-micelles were rationally designed by conjugating quaternized chitosan with the photosensitizer chlorin e6.

The effectiveness of poultry vaccination in preventing the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (AIVs) has been debated, and its impact on wild birds remains uncertain. Here, we reconstruct the movements of H5 subtype AIV lineages among vaccinated poultry, unvaccinated poultry, and wild birds, worldwide, from 1996 to 2023. We find that there is a time lag in viral transmission among different host populations and that movements from wild birds to unvaccinated poultry were more frequent than those from wild birds to vaccinated poultry.
