Telehealth Adoption in an Outpatient Oncology Ward: A Best Practice Implementat...

Telehealth is increasingly taking place to support the transition of care and self-management of people living with cancer in outpatient oncology settings. Despite its recognised value, the scientific evidence points to disparities with regard to implementation of telehealth that might compromise the equity of access. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) implementation approach, this project aims to prom...

Wide spectrum of F9 variants in hemophilia B families from the Portuguese popul...

Introduction: Hemophilia B is an X-linked bleeding disorder caused by molecular defects in the Factor IX gene (F9), leading to either deficiency or functional abnormality of Factor IX. Actual data indicate a high heterogeneity of variants in F9. Over 1000 different variants have been reported, including pathogenic single nucleotide variants (SNPs), indels and complex variants. Materials and Methods: 86 index pa...

Molecular diagnosis of haemophilia A: four novel variants identified in five pa...

Aims/Context: Haemophilia A (HMA) is an X-linked bleeding disorder caused by reduced levels of the coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) due to alterations in the F8 gene. Decreased levels of FVIII activity leads to a loss of clotting activity and to bleeding (predominantly into joins, muscles and inner organs). The severity of HMA ranges from mild (5-30% activity) to moderate (2-5% activity) to severe (<1% activity)...
