This biennial event is one of the highlights of our professional activities, and we are confident that you will find the meeting enlightening and enjoyable. We have worked to develop an array of topics, lectures and poster presentations that will be of interest to a broad spectrum of physicians and scientists in our field, from students to seasoned practitioners, and covering topics in both basic and clinical science. A new Education Program, special opportunities for trainees, grants to young scientists and attendees from developing countries, and geographic-specific programs, among other initiatives, are all intended to make this an inclusive meeting that embraces the great diversity of our field within the context of an international meeting. We have had the privilege of working with a dedicated Local Organizing Committee and Program Committee, and we can’t thank them enough for their generous commitment of time and energy to this event. This Congress is the result of their efforts, as well as the efforts of countless others, who have shaped the program and tended to the myriad of arrangements that make up a successful meeting. Thank you for joining us. We invite you to take advantage of the full range of program offerings, as well as the exciting social events and opportunities to meet or reconnect with colleagues from around the world. BRUCE FURIE President XXII Congress of the ISTH BARBARA C. FURIE President XXII Congress of the ISTH 3 Message from the Council Chairman Dear Colleagues and Friends, Nearly 150 years ago, Boston was already renowned as a place of learning in the United States, when Mark Twain remarked that in Boston someone was judged on what he knew, rather than on what he was worth or who his parents were. It is therefore most appropriate that in 2009 Boston is our place of learning, as it hosts our XXII Congress. Our biennial Congress is an important event for the advancement of our field, and I am delighted that you are participating. It is here that professional colleagues from all over the world can come together to hear the latest developments in clinical medicine and basic science, as well as have time to meet informally to share ideas and build relationships. The Society is extremely grateful to the Congress Presidents, Barbara and Bruce Furie, and their team, for taking on the task of organizing all aspects of this meeting. Their commitment and efforts are of great benefit to all of us. The ISTH 2009 program is filled with topics important to us all, from basic scientists to clinicians. I look forward to seeing you during the course of the Congress. F. R. ROSENDAAL MD PhD Chairman of Council, ISTH 4 Message from the Executive Director of ISTH Dear Colleagues and Friends, For the first time since the Washington Congress in 1999, the ISTH returns to the United States – to Boston, the site of our 2002 SSC meeting – for our XXII Congress and for the 55th SSC meeting. Congress Presidents Bruce and Barbara Furie and their organizing committee have worked hard and have developed an outstanding and unique program, including for the first time an educational com- ponent aimed at students, trainees, clinicians and basic scientists interested in our field. As always, the scientific program will feature invited speakers and the latest in our science and medicine. The new convention center set on Boston's Inner Harbor provides a beautiful site for the meeting. The social program showcases the remarkable history and culture of the city. It promises to be a memorable Congress. New England is a beautiful place in the summer. From the sand bea- ches of Cape Cod and the maritime islands, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and the Elizabeth Islands, to the Berkshire region in western Massachusetts, to Casco Bay and the dramatic coast of Maine and Acadia National Park, to the Allagash Wilderness in the North Woods, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, to the crystal waters of Lake Champlain, it is a great place to explore before or after the meeting. Take advantage of the excellent science offered here and become part of the tradition of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis. GILBERT C. WHITE II Executive Director ISTH 5 Message from the Scientific Program Committee Chairpersons Dear Colleagues and Friends, We are very pleased to present to you the ISTH 2009 Scientific Program - a full array of lectures and programmatic elements that address the varied interests of basic and clinical scientists. Our dedicated committee, with essential input from the distinguished International Scientific Advisory Board, has worked hard to ensure that each of our six core disciplines is well- represented and includes new voices and ground-breaking science. The XXII Congress program includes several innovations. An Education Pro- gram has been developed in conjunction with the SSC meetings on Saturday and Sunday, to provide a basic introduction to key topics. In addition to the traditional Oral Communications, we have organized Abstract Symposia sessions where an invited speaker is paired with the presentation of several abstracts on a related theme, and some of the most outstanding abstracts will be showcased in a special Presidential Plenary Abstract session on Tuesday afternoon. We will of course also hear from some exciting Plenary and State of the Art speakers throughout the Congress as well. The success of each ISTH Congress is measured first and foremost by the quality of the scientific program, and we are confident that you will find the XXII ISTH Congress outstanding in this regard. We are enormously grateful to our wonderful Scientific Program Committee, International Scientific Advisory Board, Abstract Reviewers and Congress Organizers for all the hard work that went into making this program a reality. Welcome. We look forward to your participation in ISTH 2009. KENNETH A. BAUER Congress Vice President and Chair, Education Program Co-Chair Scientific Program Committee (Clinical Sciences) PAULA B.

Background Today’s standard treatment of congenital haemophilia (and acquired haemophilia A) is based on prophylactic or on-demand replacement therapy with coagulation factor VIII (FVIII), either with plasma derived or with recombinant FVIII products. Principally both substance classes may be used for prophylactic treatment as well as for therapeutic treatment in case of spontaneous bleedings. Inhibitor development in haemophilia A patients receiving FVIII products mostly occurs in previously untreated or minimally treated patients (PUPs), who are still within the first 50 days of exposure to the treatment.

  • PRAC Draft Agenda of Meeting 4 -7 March 2013
    4 March 2013 EMA/PRAC/141813/2013 Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) Agenda of the meeting on 4-7 March 2013 Explanatory notes The Notes give a brief explanation of relevant agenda items and should be read in conjunction with the agenda. EU Referral procedures for safety reasons: Urgent EU procedures and Other EU referral procedures (Items 2 and 3 of the PRAC agenda) A referral is a procedure used to resolve issues such as concerns over the safety or benefit-risk balance of a medicine or a class of medicines. In a referral, the EMA is requested to conduct a scientific assessment of a particular medicine or class of medicines on behalf of the European Union (EU). For further detailed information on safety related referrals please see: http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/regulation/general/general_content_000150.jsp&mid =WC0b01ac05800240d0 Signals assessment and prioritisation (Item 4 of the PRAC agenda) A safety signal is information on a new or incompletely documented adverse event that is potentially caused by a medicine and that warrants further investigation. Signals are generated from several sources such as spontaneous reports, clinical studies and the scientific literature. The evaluation of safety signals is a routine part of pharmacovigilance and is essential to ensuring that regulatory authorities have a comprehensive knowledge of a medicine’s benefits and risks. The presence of a safety signal does not mean that a medicine has caused the reported adverse event. The adverse event could be a symptom of another illness or caused by another medicine taken by the patient.

    The Journal of Toxicological Sciences, 157 Vol.31, No.2, 157-168, 2006 CHARACTERIZATION OF A NOVEL METALLOPROTEINASE IN DUVERNOY’S GLAND OF RHABDOPHIS TIGRINUS TIGRINUS Koji KOMORI1, Motomi KONISHI1, Yuji MARUTA1, Michihisa TORIBA2, Atsushi SAKAI2, Akira MATSUDA3, Takamitsu HORI3, Mitsuko NAKATANI4, Naoto MINAMINO4 and Toshifumi AKIZAWA1 1Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Setsunan University, 45-1 Nagaotogecho, Hirakata, Osaka 573-0101, Japan 2The Japan Snake Institute, 3318 Yabuzuka Ota, Gunma 379-2301, Japan 3Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hiroshima International University, 5-1-1 Hirokoshingai, Kure, Hiroshima 737-0112, Japan 4Department of Pharmacology, National Cardiovascular Center Research Institute, 5-7-1 Fujishirodai, Suita, Osaka 565-8565, Japan (Received January 31, 2006; Accepted February 20, 2006) ABSTRACT — During the characterization of hemorrhagic factor in venom of Rhabdophis tigrinus tigri- nus, so-called Yamakagashi in Japan, one of the Colubridae family, a novel metalloproteinase with molec- ular weight of 38 kDa in the Duvernoy’s gland of Yamakagashi was identified by gelatin zymography and by monitoring its proteolytic activity using a fluorescence peptide substrate, MOCAc-PLGLA2pr(Dnp)AR-NH2, which was developed for measuring the well-known matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. After purification by gel filtration HPLC and/or column switch HPLC system consisting of an affin- ity column, which was immobilized with a synthetic BS-10 peptide (MQKPRCGVPD) originating from propeptide domain of MMP-7 and a reversed-phase column, the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the 38 kDa metalloproteinase was identified as FNTFPGDLK which shared a high homology to Xenopus MMP-9. The 38 kDa metalloproteinase required Zn2+ and Ca2+ ions for its proteolytic activity.

  • Approach to the Trauma Patient Will Help Reduce Errors
    The Approach To Trauma Author Credentials Written by: Nicholas E. Kman, MD, The Ohio State University Updated by: Creagh Boulger, MD, and Benjamin M. Ostro, MD, The Ohio State University Last Update: March 2019 Case Study “We have a motor vehicle accident 5 minutes out per EMS report.” 47-year-old male unrestrained driver ejected 15 feet from car arrives via EMS. Vital Signs: BP: 100/40, RR: 28, HR: 110. He was initially combative at the scene but now difficult to arouse. He does not open his eyes, withdrawals only to pain, and makes gurgling sounds. EMS placed a c-collar and backboard, but could not start an IV. What do you do? Objectives Upon completion of this self-study module, you should be able to: ● Describe a focused rapid assessment of the trauma patient using an organized primary and secondary survey. ● Discuss the components of the primary survey. ● Discuss possible pathology that can occur in each domain of the primary survey and recommend treatment/stabilization measures. ● Describe how to stabilize a trauma patient and prioritize resuscitative measures. ● Discuss the secondary survey with particular attention to head/central nervous system (CNS), cervical spine, chest, abdominal, and musculoskeletal trauma. ● Discuss appropriate labs and diagnostic testing in caring for a trauma patient. ● Describe appropriate disposition of a trauma patient. Introduction Nearly 10% of all deaths in the world are caused by injury. Trauma is the number one cause of death in persons 1-50 years of age and results in significant life years lost. According to the National Trauma Data Bank, falls were the leading cause of trauma followed by motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) and firearm related injuries with an overall mortality rate of 4.39% in 2016.
