Staged Surgical Palliation for HLHS in a Girl with Severe Factor X Deficiency

Recurrent Venous Thromboembolic Events in a Child with Severe Factor X Deficiency

Congenital factor X deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder that presents with variable bleeding tendency and prolonged coagulation tests, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. Thromboembolic events have not been reported in patients with factor X deficiency yet. Herein, we report a patient with factor X deficiency who had recurrent venous thromboembolic events.

Identification of a novel factor X deletion in combination with a missense mutation in the F10 gene - Genotype-phenotype correlation in a girl with severe factor X deficiency.

The genotype-phenotype relationship of compound heterozygous factor X deficiency in a young girl with severe factor X deficiency and bleeding symptoms is characterized. We identified a novel deletion of exon 6 and a missense mutation (c.856G>A, Val286Met) in exon 7 of the F10 gene leading to a compound heterozygous state and causing severe factor X deficiency. Therapeutic options for patients w...

Staged surgical treatment for severe and rigid scoliosis

BACKGROUND A retrospective study of staged surgery for severe rigid scoliosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the result of staged surgery in treatment of severe rigid scoliosis and to discuss the indications. METHODS From 1998 to 2006, 21 cases of severe rigid scoliosis with coronal Cobb angle more than 80 degrees were treated by staged surgeries including anterior release and hal...
