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.
How long for a unit of alcohol to leave the body? Ok so I've heard it takes 1 hour for the average person to process and eliminate 1 unit of alcohol.ow long for a unit of alcohol to leave the body? Ok so I've heard it takes 1 hour for the average person to process and eliminate 1 unit of alcohol.
You are wrong! For each unit of alcohol consumed you must allow an hour for it to leave your blood stream. So 10 units takes 10 hours to leave, 15 units takes 15 hours etc. Units can be worked out as follows: alcohol % of drink multiplied by volume of drink divided by 1000. So a 12% alcohol 750ml bottle of wine is 9 units. Whiskey 1Lit bottle 40% is 40 units.
