Mashup Score: 2Haemophilia—unparalleled progress but inadequate access - 2 year(s) ago
Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disease estimated to affect 818 928 people worldwide in 2021. The condition can be life-threatening if an external bleed cannot be controlled or when there is an internal bleed to a vital organ. Internal bleeding around joints is the most common complication for patients, which can result in major disability and mobility issues, reducing patients’ quality of…

Increasing total body irradiation to 400 cGy substantially reduced graft failure while maintaining the safety of haploidentical bone marrow transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide. These results suggest that engraftment after haploidentical bone marrow transplantation for haemoglobinopathies is possible, and primary graft failure—the main problem previously reported—might be…

Mashup Score: 0Alloimmunisation against red blood cells in sickle cell disease: transfusion challenges in high-income and low-income countries - 2 year(s) ago
Sickle cell disease is the most frequent inherited disorder in sub-Saharan Africa and in many high-income countries (HICs). Transfusion is a key element of treatment, but it results in high rates of alloimmunisation against red blood cell antigens and post-transfusion haemolysis, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. The prevention of alloimmunisation is, therefore, an important issue in…

Interferon alfa-2b is efficacious for treating low-grade lymphomatoid granulomatosis and hence reducing progression to high-grade disease, whereas patients with high-grade lymphomatoid granulomatosis showed expected responses to chemotherapy. Uncontrolled immune regulation of Epstein-Barr virus is hypothesised to result in the emergence of low-grade disease after chemotherapy, for which treatment…

Mashup Score: 1A long-awaited benchmark in lymphomatoid granulomatosis - 2 year(s) ago
Infections with Epstein-Barr virus are common and usually innocuous; although some people have a syndrome known as infectious mononucleosis, most infections are asymptomatic.1 However, the virus remains latent in B lymphocytes, and if immune surveillance is compromised, Epstein-Barr virus can reactivate and cause potentially fatal lymphoproliferative disorders.1,2 An example is lymphomatoid…

In participants with haemophilia A or B without inhibitors, fitusiran prophylaxis resulted in significant reductions in annualised bleeding rate compared with on-demand clotting factor concentrates and no bleeding events in approximately half of participants. Fitusiran prophylaxis shows haemostatic efficacy in both haemophilia A and haemophilia B, and therefore has the potential to be…

Haemophilia is a congenital X-linked bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of coagulation factors VIII (haemophilia A) or IX (haemophilia B). Recurrent joint bleeding, leading to the development of arthropathy, is the hallmark of haemophilia and is more pronounced in people with moderate to severe forms of the disease (<1–5% of normal factor VIII or IX concentrations).1 Prophylaxis is the...
