Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Researchers Find Hemophilia A Drug May Be Effective for Select People with Hemophilia B

Oct 29, 2024

Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that emicizumab, a widely used drug for hemophilia A, could also improve blood clotting for select people with hemophilia B depending on their genes. The preclinical study, recently published in Blood, offers proof that this class of hemophilia A drug could potentially be used to treat hemophilia B.

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Researchers Find Ultrasound Offers a Dynamic and Non-Invasive Solution for Evaluating Kneecap Impairment in Children and Adolescents

Oct 28, 2024

The rapid rise of youth sports has led to increased prevalence of repeat knee-related injuries among children and adolescents, notably those ages 10- to 17. In fact, patellar (kneecap) instability is one of the most common causes of physical trauma in this age group – six times higher than adults. Currently, most clinicians rely on advanced imaging to guide their treatment approach, which can be costly and is not usually available in a clinic. However, researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, revealed that ultrasound technology offers a transformative solution since it’s inexpensive and portable, compared to MRI and CT scans, and clinicians can track knee injuries and their response to treatment over time within a clinic.
