background recombinant activated factor vii (rfviia; novoseven® rt, novo nordisk, bagsvaerd, denmark) is a synthetic pro-coagulation factor derived from hamster kidney cells. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prescribing patterns of recombinant factor viia (rfviia) at a single, tertiary care pediatric hospital by indication of usage and dose administered. materials and me...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a neuroinflammatory autoimmune disease which mediated by various molecular and cellular immune components however recent reports have shown that coagulation factors that traditionally separate from the immune system might also be involved in ms development and progression.studies on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae) and human ms patients reports alterati...

background: haemophilia a (ha) is an x-linked bleeding disorder caused by the absence or reduced activity of coagulation factor viii (fviii). coagulation factors are a group of related proteins that are essential for the formation of blood clots. the aim of this study was to genotype the coagulation factor viii gene mutations using inverse shifting pcr (is-pcr) in an iranian family with severe ...

background: hemophilia b is a bleeding disorder with a recessive x-linked inheritance pattern, in which the infected individuals have low levels of factor ix in their plasma. affected individuals may have bleeding episodes after trauma or spontaneously considering the plasma level of factor ix. in order to prevent these episodes and to control bleeding, they should use coagulation factor concen...

abstract  introduction: during extrinsic coagulation pathway, a complex is developed between factor vii, calcium and tissue factor (a cell membrane lipoprotein that is exposed after cell injury). factor vii needs calcium and vitamin k for its biologic activation. coronary artery disease (cad) can be induced by increased level and activity of the coagulation factors vii, viii and ix. in postmeno...

patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). in this survey we detected factor v and viii inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors v and viii from north east of iran (khorassan province). it was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor v and factor viii inhib...

Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...

background: factor xiii (fxiii) is a heterotetramer composing two subunits including fxiii-a and fxiii-b. several common gene variations were observed in fxiii-a gene with obvious ethnic difference. this study assessed pattern of tyr204phe as a common fxiii-a gene variation among iranian population. materials and methods: this study was conducted on eighty iranian unrelated individuals. genotyp...

conclusions the case was fully investigated and diagnosed as a case with factor xiii deficiency causing such uncontrolled bleeding after extraction of a tooth. introduction factor xiii deficiency is a relatively rare hereditary bleeding disorder, which is usually found during infancy or early childhood. this condition may involve both genders within different races in an equal manner. its incid...
