1 in 7,500 males (haemophilia A), 1 in 40,000 males (haemophilia B) [2] [5] Haemophilia ( British English ), or hemophilia ( American English ) [ 6 ] (from Ancient Greek αἷμα ( haîma ) 'blood' and φιλία ( philía ) 'love of'), [ 7 ] is a mostly inherited genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots , a process ...

The Hayflick limit, or Hayflick phenomenon, is the number of times a normal somatic, differentiated human cell population will divide before cell division stops. [1] [2] The concept of the Hayflick limit was advanced by American anatomist Leonard Hayflick in 1961, [3] at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Haemophilia B, also spelled hemophilia B, is a blood clotting disorder causing easy bruising and bleeding due to an inherited mutation of the gene for factor IX, and resulting in a deficiency of factor IX. It is less common than factor VIII deficiency (haemophilia A). [3] Haemophilia B was first recognized as a distinct disease entity in 1952. [4]
Hemophilia A: Protein structure of coagulation factor VIII, of which its deficiency is the cause of haemophilia A. Specialty: Haematology: Symptoms: Prolonged bleeding from common injuries [1] Causes: Factor VIII deficiency [2] Diagnostic method: Bleeding time, [2] coagulation screen, genetic testing: Prevention: Hepatitis B vaccine should be ...
Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder characterized by autoantibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII.These autoantibodies constitute the most common spontaneous inhibitor to any coagulation factor and may induce spontaneous bleeding in patients with no previous history of a bleeding disorder.
A mutation in the age−1 gene of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans increased mean life span 65% and maximum life span 110%. [82] However, the degree of lifespan extension in relative terms by both the age-1 and daf-2 mutations is strongly dependent on ambient temperature, with ≈10% extension at 16 °C and 65% extension at 27 °C.
[4] [10] The prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time should completely correct with a 1:1 mixing study with normal plasma if haemophilia C is present; in contrast, if a lupus anticoagulant is present as the cause of a prolonged aPTT, the aPTT will not correct with a 1:1 mixing study.
