Recombinant activated factor VII for a patient with factor VII deficiency undergoing urgent intracerebral haematoma evacuation with underlying cavernous angioma.
Inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare autosomal-recessive bleeding disorder. There are no clear guidelines regarding therapy in such patients when intracerebral surgery is performed. We report the use of recombinant activated FVII (rFVIIa) for the prophylaxis of bleeding in a female with FVII deficiency (8% of activity) undergoing urgent removal of a right fronto-rolandic intracerebr...

Acute stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide, exceeded only by coronary artery disease and cancer. There are two major subtypes of strokeischemic and hemorrhagic with 20-30% of all strokes being hemorrhagic in nature.

متن کاملRecombinant Activated Factor VII for Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage is the least treatable form of stroke and is associated with 30% to 50% mortality rate. Early hematoma growth occurs in 18% to 38% of patients scanned within 3 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage onset, and hematoma volume is an important predictor of poor outcome. Recombinant activated factor VII, a potent initiator of hemostasis, is currently approved for the treatment ...
متن کاملNewly diagnosed congenital factor VII deficiency and utilization of recombinant activated factor VII (NovoSeven®)
UNLABELLED This case report presents a newly diagnosed congenital factor VII deficiency treated with recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa). Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare autosomal-recessive bleeding disorder that occurs in fewer than 1/500,000 persons. Its presentation can vary from epistaxis to hemarthroses and severe central nervous system bleeding, and correlates poorly with...

Resistance to thyroid hormone is an uncommon condition. We report the clinical and laboratory findings of a case with both resistance to thyroid hormone and, a reduced capacity to produce and respond to thyroid hormone. RTH is a disorder characterized by elevated circulating thyroid hormones, state of non-suppressed pituitary TSH secretion and refractoriness to hormone action in peripheral tiss...
