Validation of the ISTH/SSC bleeding assessment tool for inherited platelet disorders: A communication from the Platelet Physiology SSC

2020

Background: Careful assessment of bleeding history is the first step in the evaluation of patients with mild/moderate bleeding disorders, and the use of a bleeding assessment tool (BAT) is strongly encouraged. Although a few studies have assessed the utility of the ISTH-BAT in patients with inherited platelet function disorders (IPFD) none of them was sufficiently large to draw conclusions and/or included appropriate control groups. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to test the utility of the ISTH-BAT in a large cohort of patients with a well-defined diagnosis of inherited platelets disorder in comparison with two parallel cohorts, one of patients with type-1 von Willebrand disea…

Applied Anatomy of the Cerebral Arteries

1991

Four arteries supply the brain with blood: the two carotid and the two vertebral arteries. Although these four vessels are ultimately interlinked via a basal arterial network, the circle of Willis, and anastomoses at the brain surface, Heubner’s anastomoses, it is useful to distinguish anterior (carotid anterior and middle cerebral) and posterior (vertebrobasilar posterior cerebral) vascular territories (Gillian 1957, 1968; Lazorthes 1961; Kaplan and Ford 1966; Ganshirt 1972; Seeger 1978; Dorndorf 1983; Duus 1983).

Emotions in segmentation

2004

Abstract This paper presents an empirical study into tourist segmentation based on consumption emotions evoked by the enjoyment of leisure and tourism services. The research was conducted with 400 tourists visiting attractions. Taking as a basis the bidimensional approach to emotions—pleasure and arousal dimensions—the results provide support for the suitability of emotions as a segmentation variable. Those experiencing greater pleasure and arousal showed an increased level of satisfaction as well as more favorable behavioral intentions, meaning loyalty and willingness to pay more. Among the recommendations directed towards service organizations is the incorporation of affective variables i…

Patients' and physicians' preferences for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatments in Spain and Portugal: a discrete choice experiment.

2015

Objective To assess Spanish and Portuguese patients’ and physicians’ preferences regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments and the monthly willingness to pay (WTP) to gain benefits or avoid side effects. Methods An observational, multicenter, exploratory study focused on routine clinical practice in Spain and Portugal. Physicians were recruited from multiple hospitals and outpatient clinics, while patients were recruited from eleven centers operating in the public health care system in different autonomous communities in Spain and Portugal. Preferences were measured via a discrete choice experiment by rating multiple T2DM medication attributes. Data were analyzed using the condit…

¿Quién decide qué y cómo? el conflicto en torno a la participación ciudadana en el contexto del desarrollo de la iniciativa urbana: Cuenca-San Antón …

2018

This article describes the main results of an ethnographic study on citizen participation carried out in the context of the development of the Urban Initiative (2007-2015): Cuenca-Barrio de San Antón. Managed by the City Council of Cuenca and financed by the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Government of Spain The results of the research show how in the context of the application of neoliberal policies, citizen participation becomes the trigger for new conflicts between institutions and citizens. In this sense, it is worth noting how, in practice, institutions in their capacity as experts and not willing to dis-empower themselves, …

Approche neuropsychologique du syndrome de Williams : Aspects-visuospatiaux

2009

International audience; Nous envisageons différentes dimensions de la cognition visuo-spatiale et visuo-constructive : le fonctionnement perceptif, les représentations spatiales et l’attention spatiale, la mémoire à court terme visuelle, les tâches visuo-constructives comme le dessin ou la construction de configurations avec des cubes. Nous discutons ensuite la question du traitement local et global des stimuli perceptifs et l’éventualité de déficits au niveau des fonctions exécutives qui pourraient expliquer les différences observées notamment dans le traitement global entre les personnes présentant un Syndrome de Williams (SW) et les personnes en développement normal. Enfin, les hypothèse…

A systematic overview of the first pasteurised VWF/FVIII medicinal product, Haemate P/Humate -P: history and clinical performance

2008

Patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and haemophilia A (HA) lack, to varying degrees, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) that are critical for normal haemostasis. These conditions in turn make patients prone to uncontrolled bleeding. Historically, patients with severe forms of VWD or HA were crippled before adulthood and their life expectancy was significantly reduced. Over the past decades, specific coagulation factor replacement therapies including Haemate P, have been developed to help patients achieve and maintain normal haemostasis. Haemate P is a human, plasma-derived VWF/FVIII medicinal product, which was first licensed in Germany in 1981 for th…

Results of a Prospective, Open-Label Trial to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of Wilate® in Children Under 6 Years of Age with Inherit…

2011

Abstract Abstract 3330 Introduction: Wilate® is a new-generation plasma-derived concentrate of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII) developed for treatment of patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD) and haemophilia A. The objective of this study was to assess efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of Wilate in children below 6 years of age with inherited VWD. Methods: The prospective, multi-centre trial included patients with inherited VWD of any type below 6 years of age with insufficient response to DDAVP. Any clinical event requiring VWF/FVIII concentrate treatment within 1 year was treated with Wilate. Efficacy was recorded by using a 4-point VRS and in vivo recovery of F…
