A cornerstone of the management of Acquired Haemophilia A (AHA) involves inhibitor eradication. First line immunosuppressive agents are usually steroids, either alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide. We present the use of Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone (RCVP) combination as immunosuppressant in AHA in a small cohort of patients in order to control their sympto...

BACKGROUND Factor analyses suggest that the structure underlying metabolic syndrome is similar in adolescents and adults. However, adolescence is a period of intense physiological change, and therefore stability of the underlying metabolic structure and clinical categorization based on metabolic risk is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed data from 1098 participants in the Princeton Sc...

Antibodies to histones (AHA) are commonly found in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the full profile of AHA and their clinical associations remains unclear. A total of 111 patients with SLE were studied, including 13 patients in whom multiple serum samples were available over several years. IgM, IgG, and IgA antibodies to total core histones, histone complexes, and ind...

OBJECTIVES Via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we sought to determine the prevalence of atherosclerotic American Heart Association type VI lesions (AHA-LT6) (lesions with luminal surface defect, hemorrhage/thrombus, or calcified nodule) in carotid arteries that represented all categories of stenosis as measured by duplex ultrasound. BACKGROUND Arterial stenosis alone has been shown to be a ...

Insight problem solving has been the topic of much investigation. It is believed widely that insight critically contains the process of breaking one's mental set. Recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) research on puzzle solving showed that insight was associated with activities in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and other areas (Luo and Niki [2003]: Hippocampus 13:274-281). We pro...

IN 1972, the Committee on Electrocardiography of the American Heart Association (AHA) first published recommendations dealing with electrical safety in electrocardiographic (ECG) and vectorcardiographic (VCG) instruments.' These specifications were restated in slightly altered form in 1975.2 To our knowledge, practically all manufacturers of ECG equipment sold in the United States now follow th...

Background. Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare condition, due to the spontaneous formation of neutralizing antibodies against endogenous factor VIII. About half the cases are associated with pregnancy, postpartum, autoimmune diseases, malignancies, or adverse drug reactions. Symptoms include severe and unexpected bleeding that may prove life-threatening. Case Study. We report a case of AHA a...
