Biological mechanisms underlying inter‐individual variation in factor VIII clearance in haemophilia
Previous studies have highlighted marked inter‐individual variations in factor VIII (FVIII) clearance between patients with haemophilia (PWH). The half‐life of infused FVIII has been reported to vary from as little as 5.3 hours in some adult PWH, up to as long as 28.8 hours in other individuals. These differences in clearance kinetics have been consistently observed using a number of different plasma‐derived and recombinant FVIII products. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that half‐life for extended half‐life (EHL‐) FVIII products also demonstrates significant inter‐patient variation. Since time spent with FVIII trough levels <1% has been shown to be associated with increased bleeding risk in PWH on prophylaxis therapy, this variability in FVIII clearance clearly has major clinical significance. Recent studies have provided significant novel insights into the cellular basis underlying FVIII clearance pathways. In addition, accumulating data have shown that endogenous plasma VWF levels, ABO blood group and age, all play important roles in regulating FVIII half‐life in PWH. Indeed, multiple regression analysis suggests that together these factors account for approximately 34% of the total inter‐individual variation in FVIII clearance observed between subjects with severe haemophilia A. In this review, we consider these and other putative modulators of FVIII half‐life, and discuss the biological mechanisms through which these factors impact upon FVIII clearance in vivo.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/156160/2/hae14078.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/156160/1/hae14078_am.pd

The DRIFT Dark Matter Experiments
The current status of the DRIFT (Directional Recoil Identification From
Tracks) experiment at Boulby Mine is presented, including the latest limits on
the WIMP spin-dependent cross-section from 1.5 kg days of running with a
mixture of CS2 and CF4. Planned upgrades to DRIFT IId are detailed, along with
ongoing work towards DRIFT III, which aims to be the world's first 10 m3-scale
directional Dark Matter detector.Comment: Proceedings of the 3rd International conference on Directional

Microdevices for extensional rheometry of low viscosity elastic liquids : a review
Extensional flows and the underlying stability/instability mechanisms are of extreme relevance to the efficient operation of inkjet printing, coating processes and drug delivery systems, as well as for the generation of micro droplets. The development of an extensional rheometer to characterize the extensional properties of low viscosity fluids has therefore stimulated great interest of researchers, particularly in the last decade. Microfluidics has proven to be an extraordinary working platform and different configurations of potential extensional microrheometers have been proposed. In this review, we present an overview of several successful designs, together with a critical assessment of their capabilities and limitations
