The F309S mutation increases factor VIII secretion in human cell line
CONCLUSION: Bioengineering factor VIII expressed in human cells may lead to an efficient production of recombinant factor VIII and contribute toward low-cost coagulation factor replacement therapy for hemophilia A. FVIII-F309S produced in human cells can be effective in vivo. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia)

Validation of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) for multiple myeloma using CD138 positive cells
CONCLUSION: This technique together with magnetic cell sorting is effective and can be used in the routine laboratory practice. In addition, magnetic cell sorting provides a pure plasma cell population that allows other molecular and genomic studies. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia)

Oral health-related quality of life of children and teens with sickle cell disease
CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in the negative impact on the oral health-related quality of life between the group with sickle cell disease and the control group. Of the oral alterations, there was a significant difference in the oral health-related quality of life between adolescents with sickle cell disease and controls only in relation to malocclusion. Among the socioeconomic characteristics, only overcrowding was significantly associated with a negative impact on oral health-related quality of life.
