INTRODUCTION: BAY 81-8973 (Kovaltry®), a recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) product, was efficacious and well tolerated in paediatric previously treated patients (PTPs) with severe haemophilia A for ≥50 exposure days (EDs) in the LEOPOLD Kids study. Because long-term prophylaxis (≥100 EDs) can provide substantial patient benefits, FVIII products should demonstrate long-term safety and efficacy.AIM:

Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are a family of bacterial toxins with seven major serotypes (BoNT/A-G). The ability of these toxins to target and bind to motor nerve terminals is a key factor determining their potency and efficacy. Among these toxins, BoNT/B is one of the two types approved for medical and cosmetic uses. Besides binding to well-established receptors, an extended loop in the C-termin

MutT homologue 1 (MTH1) removes oxidized nucleotides from the nucleotide pool and thereby prevents their incorporation into the genome and thereby reduces genotoxicity. We previously reported that MTH1 is an efficient catalyst of O6-methyl-dGTP hydrolysis suggesting that MTH1 may also sanitize the nucleotide pool from other methylated nucleotides. We here show that MTH1 efficiently catalyzes the h

Utbildning för vuxna lyfts ofta fram som en lösning på en rad aktuella samhällsutmaningar. Allt från miljöfrågor till den mer övergripande målsättningen att skapa ekonomisk tillväxt. Men vuxenutbildningen har också ett tydligt demokratiskt och medborgerligt uppdrag och i denna bok utforskas detta medborgerliga uppdrag utifrån dess grundläggande antaganden, verkningssätt och konsekvenser. Det är en

Background: The International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery provides globally accepted definitions for reporting of complications after pancreatic surgery. This International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery project aims to provide a standardized framework for reporting of the results of operative treatment for chronic pancreatitis. Methods: An International Study Group for Pancreatic Surge

The therapeutic landscape of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has profoundly changed over the past 7 years. Most patients with chronic phase (CP) now have a normal life expectancy. Another goal is achieving a stable deep molecular response (DMR) and discontinuing medication for treatment-free remission (TFR). The European LeukemiaNet convened an expert panel to critically evaluate and update the evi

The global financial crisis has highlighted the importance of financial factors on economic performance. Most of the existing research analyses the contemporary experience, and especially the 1980 s onwards. This paper investigates the effects of stock prices, real estate prices and debt on consumption and investment expenditures by estimating consumption and investment equations for about 110 yea

BACKGROUND/AIM: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women in Ethiopia. The objective was to evaluate the participation rate of a free of charge vaginal self-sample (Aptima multitest swab, Hologic) for the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) in an Ethiopian cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Specimens were collected from women employed by Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Abeba (N=5950). Sampl

In this opinion in the Dutch financial newspaper I discuss the economic rationale behind the phenomena that charities donate to companies. This is a new way in which charities try to achieve the greatest possible impact and, for example, ensure that vaccines are also developed for commercially uninteresting markets. The Dutch tax authorities are sometimes reluctant to view this as public benefit e

The relative contribution of different microbial groups to soil organic matter (SOM) turnover and utilisation of rhizodeposits during a cropping season has remained largely unknown. We used a long-term field experiment (started in 1956), in which C3 crops were replaced with C4 silage maize in 2000, to investigate dynamics of fungi and bacterial groups and their utilisation of ‘young-C4’ and ‘old-C
