Mild Haemophilia

A prospective study was carried out on the patients presenting with history of recurrent joint swelling and wound bleeding in outpatient department of Haematology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), Dhaka Cantonment from January 2000 to December 2000. Fifty patients were studied. The predominant age group affected were between six and 15 years (44%). Recurrent joint swelling was the predominant presenting symptom (100%) followed by wound bleeding (52%) and bleeding after tooth extraction (38%). Thirty (60%) patients had positive family history of bleeding. Coagulation screening tests showed that 40 (80%) patients had prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Amongst these 40 patients, 32 (80%) were diagnosed as haemophilia-A and eight (20%) as haemophilia-B. Eighteen (45%) patients had mild haemophilia, 17 (42.50%) moderate haemophilia and five (12.50%) patients had severe haemophilia. Spontaneous bleeding history was present in seven (17.50%) patients, and 16 (35.50%) patients with moderate haemophilia and 17 (47%) patients with mild haemophilia had bleeding following trauma or surgery.

Possible Cause

We show a statistically significant and quantitatively meaningful decline in the aptitude of commissioned officers in the marine corp from 1980 to 2014 as measured by their scores on the General Classification Test. This result contrasts with the widely studied increase in the quality of enlisted personnel since 1973 when conscription ended. As a possible cause for this decline, we focus on the fact that, during this period, marine officers had to have a 4-year college degree and there has been an expansion of the pool of young Americans in college. To corroborate this hypothesis, we show that there has been a similar decline in scores on the Armed Forces Qualification Test for responders to the 1979 and 1997 National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth among college graduates but not for the overall set of respondents.
