Researchers are working on a method to insert better functioning factor VIII or factor IX genes into the cells of people with hemophilia so their blood will clot more effectively.It is hoped that gene therapy will lead to patients having fewer bleeding episodes.here are many projects continuing in animal models. Improved long-term expression of the new genes will require the development of better vectors (the means of delivering the new genes into the cells). Call NHF's toll free number (1-800-42-HANDI) for more information about gene therapy for hemophilia.

Hello, On average it takes about one hour for your body to process one unit of alcohol. This varies depending on your body size, sex and the amount of food in your digestive system. One unit of alcohol is roughly equivalent to half a pint of beer, a 25ml measure of spirit, or two-thirds of a small (125ml) glass of wine. This means that one pint takes your body about two hours to break down.
