Abstract
Calcium oxide (CaO) nanoparticles have been synthesized by two step thermal decomposition method under ambient temperature. Structural analysis was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction method and the crystallite size of CaO nanoparticles was calculated using Scherrer formula. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis has been carried to identify the functional groups present in the synthesized specimen. Optical absorption studies reveal very low absorption in the entire visible region. The surface analysis of the synthesized particles was analysed using scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize a cohort of children with airflow limitation resistant to bronchodilator (BD) therapy. METHODS Pulmonary function tests performed in children 6-17 years of age at 15 centers in a clinical research consortium were screened for resistant airflow limitation, defined as a post-BD FEV1 and/or an FEV1/FVC less than the lower limits of normal. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed for associations with pulmonary function. RESULTS 582 children were identified. Median age was 13 years (IQR: 11, 16), 60% were males; 62% were Caucasian, 28% were African-American; 19% were obese; 32% were born prematurely and 21% exposed to second hand smoke. Pulmonary diagnoses included asthma (93%), prior significant pneumonia (28%), and bronchiectasis (5%). 65% reported allergic rhinitis, and 11% chronic sinusitis. Subjects without a history of asthma had significantly lower post-BD FEV1% predicted (p = 0.008). Subjects without allergic rhinitis had lower post-BD FEV1% predicted (p = 0.003). Children with allergic rhinitis, male sex, obesity and Black race had better pulmonary function post-BD. There was lower pulmonary function in children after age 11 years without a history of allergic rhinitis, as compared to those with a history of allergic rhinitis. CONCLUSIONS The most prevalent diagnosis in children with BD-resistant airflow limitation is asthma. Allergic rhinitis and premature birth are common co-morbidities. Children without a history of asthma, as well as those with asthma but no allergic rhinitis, had lower pulmonary function. Children with BD-resistant airflow limitation may represent a sub-group of children with persistent obstruction and high risk for life-long airway disease.

Abstract
In the past decade, there has been considerable interest in radiosensitization using gold nanoparticles that accumulate specifically in cancerous tissue while sparing normal tissues. Despite this interest, it remains unclear which nanoparticle morphologies, cellular uptake, or cytoplasmic distribution elicit optimal radiosensitization. We introduce gold nanotriangles (AuNTs) as a possible X-ray radiotherapy sensitizer. In this study, we first explored a large-scale synthetic method for the production of high quality monodisperse AuNTs. Second, we conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments to evaluate the effect of PEGylated AuNTs (pAuNTs) on cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, bio-distribution, and radiosensitization on radiation-resistant human Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) cells. Our results suggest that the new scale up synthesis methodology consistently produced high quality AuNTs and pAuNTs which had nonspecific cellular uptake without any obvious cytotoxicity and exhibited excellent radiosensitization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recombinant factor VIII (rFVIII) products with extended half-lives have the potential to improve adherence and outcomes in haemophilia beyond the results obtained with conventional rFVIII products. AIM In the absence of head-to-head comparisons, annualized bleed rates (ABRs) and weekly factor consumption with rFVIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) and conventional rFVIII products were indirectly compared using studies of continuous prophylaxis. METHODS A systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies of rFVIII products for comparison with rFVIIIFc in the continuous prophylactic treatment of previously treated adolescents and adults with moderate and severe haemophilia A. Mean ABRs were compared between rFVIIIFc and individual rFVIII studies and between rFVIIIFc and a pooled measure for rFVIII estimated by meta-analysis. Comparisons of factor consumption were based on mean or median weekly factor consumption. RESULTS Results from seven studies of conventional rFVIII products (injections 2-4 times week-1 ) were compared with rFVIIIFc (injections 1.4-2.4 times week-1 ). The pooled mean ABR for rFVIII products was significantly higher compared with rFVIIIFc (difference = 2.0; P = 0.007). Compared with most rFVIII studies, the reported weekly factor consumption was lower with rFVIIIFc [mean differences = 15.5-21.8 IU kg-1 week-1 (17-26%); median differences = 12.7-29.8 IU kg-1 week-1 (16-37%)]. In one comparison, mean weekly factor consumption with rFVIII was significantly lower but mean ABR was significantly higher than rFVIIIFc. CONCLUSION Prophylaxis with rFVIIIFc may be associated with improved bleeding rates and lower weekly factor consumption than more frequently injected rFVIII products. Relative to rFVIII products with similar bleeding rates, results indicate that rFVIIIFc is associated with reduced weekly factor consumption while requiring fewer prescribed injections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with haemophilia on long-acting prophylactic treatment may experience an improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) through reductions in breakthrough bleeds and associated complications, including long-term joint damage, compared with episodic treatment. AIM This analysis examined clinical trial data to understand the psychometric characteristics (reliability, validity and sensitivity to change over time) of the Haem-A-QoL Questionnaire in adult males with haemophilia. METHODS Two recent, multinational, Phase 3 clinical trials of new, long-acting factor concentrates (A-LONG: rFVIIIFc; B-LONG: rFIXFc) assessed HRQoL in adolescent and adult males with severe haemophilia A or B respectively. The adults' baseline assessments, via the 46-item Haem-A-QoL Questionnaire, and change over time at the 6-month assessment were used in the psychometric analyses. RESULTS Internal consistency reliability was adequate (Cronbach's alpha > 0.70) for nine of the 10 Haem-A-QoL domains and for 'Total Score' in both trials at baseline (A-LONG, n = 133; B-LONG, n = 73). At baseline, several Haem-A-QoL domains and 'Total Score' demonstrated known-groups and convergent validity when compared with other trial measures, including the EQ-5D (items and total scores) and joint impairment. Change score correlations (baseline to 28 weeks) between the EQ-5D and the Haem-A-QoL 'Total Score', and 'Physical Health' and 'Feelings' domains were moderate in magnitude (│r│ ≥ 0.33; P < 0.03), demonstrating sensitivity to change for these outcome measures in A-LONG. CONCLUSION These psychometric analyses provide evidence of the reliability, validity and ability to detect change of the Haem-A-QoL to assess the HRQoL of adult males with severe haemophilia A and B in longitudinal clinical trials.

Abstract
Essentials No randomized trials have compared long-acting factor VIII (FVIII) with currently used products. A comparison was undertaken using a decision model to predict FVIII use and number of bleeds. In the base case, longer acting FVIII reduced factor use by 17% while resulting in similar bleeds. The value of longer acting FVIII will be largely determined by existing regimens and unit price. Click to hear Prof. Makris's presentation on new treatments in hemophilia SUMMARY: Background Recently, factor VIII (FVIII) products with longer half-lives, such as recombinant FVIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc), have become available. Use of longer-acting FVIII products will largely depend on effectiveness and cost; no direct evaluations have compared these parameters between conventional and longer-acting FVIII therapies. Objectives To present a hypothetical decision analysis, combining evidence from multiple sources to estimate bleeding frequency, resource use and cost of longer-acting prophylactic products, such as rFVIIIFc, vs. conventional recombinant FVIII (rFVIII). Patients/Methods The decision model used published pharmacokinetic parameters, bleeding frequency vs. time information below a 1-IU dL-1 FVIII trough level, and adherence. Prophylactic treatment scenarios were modelled for a hypothetical patient with severe hemophilia A (<1 IU/dL) receiving rFVIIIFc or rFVIII. Results Infusing twice weekly with rFVIIIFc 42.7 IU kg-1 per dose required less clotting factor than infusing every 56 h with rFVIII 33.75 IU kg-1 per dose; annual bleeding rates were similar. Base case analysis suggested that total FVIII costs were equated when rFVIIIFc cost 1.18 times more per IU than rFVIII, assuming similar adherence. Other modelled scenarios produced similar results, although differences in FVIII consumption were particularly sensitive to assumptions regarding frequency and dose of the rFVIII and rFVIIIFc regimens. For example, decreasing rFVIII from 33.75 IU kg-1 to 30 IU kg-1 per dose decreased the price factor to 1.05. Conclusions Longer-acting FVIII products may reduce FVIII consumption and infusion frequency without compromising hemostatic effect; this should be considered along with other factors (e.g. adherence and underlying FVIII regimen) when evaluating a suitable price for these agents.
