In this week's episode we'll discuss molecular mimicry in aplastic anemia, novel experiments show that antigens associated with viral infections can mimic epitopes presented on hematopoietic progenitor cells. Then, we'll learn about prophylaxis with subcutaneous emicizumab in infants with hemophilia. Finally we'll see how hydroxyurea is associated with a significant reduction in infections among children with sickle cell anemia in Uganda.Articles featured this week:Virus-reactive T cells expanded in aplastic anemia eliminate hematopoietic progenitor cells by molecularmimicryEmicizumab prophylaxis in infants with hemophilia A (HAVEN 7): primary analysis of a phase 3b open-labeltrialHydroxyurea reduces infections in children with sickle cell anemia in Uganda

A relatively new treatment in patients with Haemophilia A, Emicizumab helps to improve management in these patients and significantly reduce their time in hospital. Janine Furmedge and Dr Chris Barnes of the RCH Clinical Haematology team join us to discuss Haemophilia A and the role of this new drug.
COR2ED Medical Education: In this podcast, two haematology experts discuss their views on the use of immune tolerance induction (ITI) in haemophilia. Prof. Jan Astermark, professor of Clinical Coagulation Medicine from Sweden, and Dr. Katharina Holstein, Haematologist from Germany, talk about whether ITI is still the first choice in patients with haemophilia A with inhibitors. A recent survey on the use of ITI in Europe, conducted by the speakers and other members of the European Collaborative Haemophilia Network, forms the basis of the discussion. In March 2022 the results of the survey were published in the journal Haemophilia. In this podcast episode the two experts discuss the results of the survey and the implications for management of haemophilia A.
In this podcast episode, 3 experts answers questions on the management of hemophilia A from a live webinar. Topics include: Which patients should have pharmacokinetic-guided therapy?Toxicities with PEGylated extended half-life productsFactor VIII and bone healthFactor VIII peaks, thrombotic risk, and cardiovascular diseaseChoosing between extended half-life products and emicizumab for active patientsRole of fitusiran in the treatment paradigm if approvedPresenters:Miguel A.
