With 70% of bleeding events linked to identified or suspected causes, this study highlights the pressing need for better strategies, including long-term VWD factor (VWF) prophylaxis, to reduce hospitalizations and improve quality of life. Read More: bit.ly/3UWiu6Z

Centessa have discontinued development of their rebalancing agent, Serpin PC despite encouraging Phase 2 PREScent clinical trial results Decision due to competition from marstacimab and possibly concizumab. This leaves these 2 plus Fitusiran in trials or licenced @ProfMakris

I strongly disagree with this commentary in the journal Blood Transfusion. The authors try to justify the decision of the @WHO to have cryoprecipitate and pathogen reduced cryoprecipitate (rather than FVIII concentrate) for the treatment of #hemophilia in the list of essential medicines. I do not know of ANY hemophilia treater who agrees with the World Health Organisation policy. What they recommend is dangerous for persons with #hemophilia in poor countries. Pathogen reduced cryo is only available in a tiny number of countries (?2). So essentially they are recommending unsafe cryoprecipitate and suggesting these poor countries introduce the technology to pathogen reduce the cryoprecipitate. It is about time that the @WHO includes hemophilia treaters in the "expert panel" who make recommendations for treatment of persons with hemophilia. tinyurl.com/mtuyt5fs

Congratulations Dr @leslieskeith!! Amazing work.
Curious to know if vWD affects pregnancy outcome❓ This multi-center cohort study finds no significant difference in pregnancy loss risk between women with von Willebrand disease (VWD), those with similar bleeding disorders, and non-bleeding controls (OR of pregnancy losses in the VWD group versus non-VWD group was 0.94, 95% CI 0.65, 1.36). ✍️ @leslieskeith @james_paulad @PKouides @lisa_duffett @sholzberg @ragnmv @CukerMd Read more at jthjournal.org/article/S1538…

The painful personal story of Dr Keith Hoots’ experiences in the early days of the #HIV #AIDS epidemic is recounted at the #PartnersPhysicianAcademy.. Attendees gained appreciation on the challenges #hemophilia community faced. We must NEVER FORGET THE PAST!

Amazing work by @sholzberg to achieve health equity in ferritin reference ranges in Canada. Now how can we get this done in the US? @Labcorp @QuestDX @ARUPLabs Saying it again, a ferritin of <30 ug/L is IRON DEFICIENCY for both males and females! @acweyand @Bloodman @sholzberg
Very pleased to see this in the mail today! Congrats to @sholzberg and team in bringing impactful change after years of advocacy and hard work. @LifeLabs

Honored to co-author this #RPTHeditorial with @ProfMakris published today with @RPTHjournal. 🤖 🧬📔 We discuss the inevitable integration of #ArtificialIntelligence into scientific communication, as an indispensable tool that offers significant advantages for authors and editors alike, by streamlining tasks such as improving language, screening manuscripts, and disseminating scientific content. However, challenges like improper use, inaccuracies, and ethical concerns persist.
