Inherited bleeding disorder, platelet-type

This study tests whether aerobic exercise in simulated altitude (normobaric hypoxia) can improve body composition and metabolism in people with MASLD, a type of fatty liver disease. Twenty sedentary adults with MASLD will walk on a treadmill for 8 weeks, either in mild altitude o…

This lab study tested whether concizumab, a drug that blocks a natural clotting inhibitor, can improve blood clotting in people with Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), a rare genetic bleeding disorder. Blood samples from 20 adults with GT and healthy donors were mixed with concizumab…

This study tested a medicine called BAX 930 in 52 people born with severe TTP, a rare condition that causes dangerous blood clots. The medicine replaces a missing enzyme to prevent or treat sudden flare-ups. Participants received either BAX 930 or standard treatment for 6 months,…

This study looked at whether taking a protein supplement on fasting days during a 4-week alternate-day fasting program could help young men with overweight lose fat while keeping muscle. Twenty-six men aged 21 to 35 either ate a small meal (400-600 kcal) or the same meal plus a w…

This study tested a pathogen-reduced version of cryoprecipitate, a blood product that helps blood clot, in 208 patients undergoing liver transplant or heart surgery. The goal was to see if having this product readily available could stop bleeding early and reduce the need for oth…

This study tested a new diagnostic tool that uses imaging flow cytometry to examine platelets in blood samples. Researchers compared it to standard lab tests in 31 patients suspected of having platelet disorders or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The goal was to see if the new …

This study tested a new lab method to diagnose platelet function disorders in 322 people with bleeding symptoms. The method uses flow cytometry to detect signaling defects in platelets, which are often missed by standard tests. The goal was to standardize the technique across mul…

This study tests whether a single injection of nanofat—made from a person's own fat—can improve the appearance of atrophic scars caused by burns or trauma. Each participant has two similar scars: one gets the nanofat injection plus silicone gel, and the other gets only silicone g…

This study aims to understand how ultra-processed foods affect energy metabolism compared to unprocessed foods. Healthy adults aged 18-60 will stay at a research center for four weeks, eating different diets each week. Researchers will measure how much they eat, their metabolic r…

This study looked at 28 people with Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a rare bleeding disorder, to understand why some develop harmful antibodies after blood transfusions or pregnancy. Researchers checked for antibodies every six months and after each transfusion over 18 months. The goal…
