High frequencies of exposure to the novel human parvovirus PARV4 in hemophiliacs and injection drug users, as detected by a serological assay for PARV4 antibodies.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: PARV4 is a human parvovirus that was first detected in and cloned from an individual with a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seroconversion-like illness and that subsequently persisted in the lymphoid tissue and bone marrow. In ... Read more...

The clinical management of hemophilia and head trauma: a survey of current clinical practice among pediatric hematology/oncology physicians.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Determining the appropriate evaluation for a pediatric patient with hemophilia and head trauma is a diagnostic challenge with no neuroimaging guidelines and limited clinical evidence to direct care. PROCEDURE: A questionnaire, with two ... Read more...

Enhanced efficacy of recombinant FVIII in noncovalent complex with PEGylated liposome in hemophilia A mice.

2 Aug 2009 Recombinant FVIII formulated in PEG-ylated liposomes (rFVIII-PEG-Lip) was reported to increase the bleed-free days from 7 to 13 days (at 35 IU/kg rFVIII) in severe hemophilia A patients. To understand the underlying mechanism, we sought to ... Read more...
