Filter by:Congenital plasminogen deficiency causes impaired wound healing and growth of pseudomembranous lesions over multiple parts of the body. The most common lesions involve eyes and are known as Ligneous conjunctivitis. These can cause scarring of the sclera, vision loss and even blindness. These pseudomembranous lesions are recur after surgical excisions, administration of intra-ocular cyclosporine, autologous serum drops or corticosteroids. Clinical data shows that these growths do not worsen and do not recur after administration of plasminogen (either as concentrate or as plasma) in the eyes, locally or intravenously. As plasminogen is not available as concentrate, we are using aliquoted allogenic plasma provided by Canadian Blood Services for intra-ocular application. These will be applied to eyes multiple times a day for a period of 2 to 6 months depending on disease severity and patient response. These may be used again if ligneous conjunctivitis recurs. The patient will be followed for a period of 2 years at least. All serious adverse events will be reported to Canadian Blood Services and Health Canada as appropriate.
The current treatment of people with haemophilia and other bleeding deficiencies is largely based on clotting factor replacement therapy. The injections can be repeated several times a week according to a personalized schedule. To date, medications are exclusively dispensed in hospital pharmacies to ensure traceability and safety. This retrocession imposes accessibility constraints on patients and on their caregivers, increasing the burden of the disease, particularly in the organization of personal and professional daily life. The PHAREO study aims to investigate patients' perception of accessibility to anti-haemophilia drugs in relation to an evaluation of spatial accessibility in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (France) in order to consider, if necessary, ways of improving the pathway for patients and their caregivers.
This study aims to investigates the role of gestational age on the prevalence of coagulation factors and components of the complement system in preterm- (≤32+0 weeks) and term neonates (≥37+0 weeks) and their role for the development of brain hemorrhage.
