A 42-year-old male hemophiliac with micrognathia caused by temperomandibular hemarthrosis was studied for obstructive sleep apnea and successfully treated without the use of a tracheostomy. Prevention of nocturnal hypoxemia by nasopharyngeal intubation was found to relieve daytime hypersomnolence
The development of arthropathy is a major co-morbidity in patients with hemophilia. The present study was designed to study the role of a microRNA biomarker (miR-15b) in the development of joint disease. To investigate the expression profile of miR-15b during the development of arthropathy, we first
BACKGROUND
The present study was designed to investigate the molecular signaling events from onset of bleeding through the development of arthropathy in a murine model of hemophilia A.
RESULTS
A sharp-injury model of hemarthrosis was used. A global gene expression array on joint-specific RNA
Joint arthropathy secondary to recurrent hemarthroses remains a debilitating complication of hemophilia despite the use of prophylactic factor concentrates. Increased vascularity and neoangiogenesis have been implicated in the progression of musculoskeletal disorders and tumor growth. We
