Coagulation Factor Plasma Levels Following Administration of a 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate for Rapid Vitamin K Antagonist Reversal in Japanese Patients.
Four-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCCs) have been approved for urgent vitamin K antagonist reversal in Western countries for many years. Ethnicity and genetic variations between populations may influence the pharmacokinetic profile of 4F-PCC treatments. ⋯ Administration of 4F-PCC in Japanese patients receiving vitamin K antagonist anticoagulation therapy resulted in rapid and sustained increases in plasma levels and was well tolerated, indicating that this treatment is effective for the urgent reversal of vitamin K antagonist therapy in this population.

Hyaluronic Acid Single Intra-Articular Injection in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Multicenter Open Prospective Study (ART-ONE 75) with Placebo Post Hoc Comparison.
Viscosupplementation of the synovial liquid, by intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid, is a widely used symptomatic treatment in knee osteoarthritis. Besides products designed for multi-injections (typically 3-5 injections at 1-week intervals), special interest is being given to single-injection products that offer specific advantages such as the reduction of the number of visits to the doctor and the number of invasive interventions with their associated risks. However, a question remains about the efficacy of these monoinjections, compared with the multi-injections regimens. ⋯ The present study suggests the clinical efficacy of a single intra-articular injection of 3 mL intra-articular hyaluronic acid solution containing 75 mg high molecular weight (>2 MDa) native hyaluronic acid.

Mono-injection intra-articulaire d'acide hyaluronique dans la gonarthrose : Étude multicentrique prospective ouverte (ART-ONE 75) avec comparaison post hoc versus placebo.
La viscosupplémentation du liquide synovial par injection intra-articulaire d'acide hyaluronique est un traitement symptomatique de l'arthrose, largement utilisé dans la gonarthrose (arthrose du genou). À côté des produits conçus pour être administrés par injections multiples (typiquement 3 à 5 injections à intervalles de 1 semaine), un intérêt particulier se porte sur produits en injection unique (mono-injection) qui offrent des avantages spécifiques tels que la réduction du nombre de visites au médecin et du nombre d'interventions invasives avec leurs risques associés. Il subsiste toutefois une question concernant l'efficacité de ces mono-injections, par rapport aux protocoles à injections multiples. ⋯ La présente étude suggère l'efficacité clinique d'une mono-injection IA de 3 mL de solution viscoélastique contenant 75 mg d'AH natif de haut poids moléculaire (> 2 MDa).
