Article Synopsis
  • Patients with hemophilia B receive factor IX concentrates to prevent bleeding, and new extended half-life (EHL) options allow for less frequent dosing compared to standard treatments.
  • The recombinant FIX-Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) is highlighted for its rapid distribution, potentially due to its binding to type IV collagen in the body, which may help prevent bleeding even when FIX activity is not measurable in plasma.
  • A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model accurately predicts how rFIXFc behaves in the body, showing significantly higher concentrations of the drug in the extravascular space compared to plasma, indicating its crucial role in achieving effective bleeding control after treatment.

Mechanical confinement prevents ectopic platelet release.

Blood platelets are produced by megakaryocytes (MKs), their parent cells, which are in the bone marrow. Once mature, MK pierces through the sinusoid vessel, and the initial protrusion further elongates as proplatelet or buds to release platelets. The mechanisms controlling the decision to initiate proplatelet and platelet formation are unknown.

Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) is a rare entity characterized by excessive accumulation of fluid within the fetal extravascular compartments and body cavities. Here we present two intrauterine fetal demises with NIHF presenting with oligohydramnios, cystic hygroma, pleural effusion, and generalized hydrops with predominance of subcutaneous edema. The fetuses also presented with ascites, severe and precocious IUGR and skeletal anomalies.

Mechanisms of whole body, respiratory, acid-base buffering: a first computer-model test of three physicochemical, acid-base theories.

J Appl Physiol (1985)

June 2024

Department of Pharmacology, Physiology and Neuroscience, University of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, United States.

Acid-base disorders are currently analyzed and treated using a bicarbonate-centered approach derived from blood studies prior to the advent of digital computers, which could solve computer models capable of quantifying the complex physicochemical nature governing distribution of water and ions between fluid compartments. An alternative is the Stewart approach, which can predict the pH of a simple mixture of ions and electrically charged proteins; hence, the role of extravascular fluids has been largely ignored. The present study uses a new, comprehensive computer model of four major fluid compartments, based on a recent blood model, which included ion binding to proteins, electroneutrality constraints, and other essential physicochemical laws.
