    Abstract Type 2B von Willebrand disease is a rare bleeding condition resulting in thrombocytopenia and a reduction in large VWF multimers. It usually has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. We report the management of a patient with type 2B von Willebrand disease, whose diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of a R1306W mutation, through her first pregnancy. The patient's von Willebrand factor (VWF) antigen and VWF ristocetin cofactor levels rose throughout pregnancy, with an associated drop in the platelet count. The patient was successfully managed through labour to a surgical delivery with VWF concentrate, platelet transfusions and tranexamic acid. The patient delivered a male baby who was found to have inherited type 2B von Willebrand disease and had a significant cephalhaematoma at delivery. The baby was managed with VWF concentrate and platelet transfusions and made a full recovery. There is a lack of evidence to guide the best management of pregnant patients with type 2B von Willebrand disease. We adopted a pragmatic management plan, in keeping with other published case reports. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in which the child was found to have inherited type 2B von Willebrand disease and encountered bleeding problems, making this case unique amongst the published literature.

    Abstract In 2006 Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust not only had a financial challenge but also a cultural one: only just over half of staff would recommend the Trust as a place to work or receive treatment. This prompted the leadership team to embark on a journey spanning almost a decade, developing a values-based culture. The Trust values framework spans four levels of the organisation and sets out the values and behaviours expected of everyone, through to the strategic leaders in the organisation. This focus on leadership and behaviours at all levels has been underpinned with an appreciative inquiry approach to embedding the values and culture change. In this article, chief executive, Sir Ron Kerr, and OD colleagues, Sarah Morgan and Carolyn Norgate, detail the journey that Guy's and St Thomas' has undertaken, its impressive results, and the next stage in the Trust's journey.

    Abstract The precise mechanisms leading to the coagulopathy of acute liver injury are unclear. To study this further, coagulation and immune changes have been compared in patients with acute liver injury secondary to paracetamol overdose, with chronic cirrhosis, and normal healthy controls. In acute liver injury, coagulation factors II, V, VII and X were reduced to a similar degree, and were significantly lower than factors IX and XI. In cirrhosis, by contrast, these coagulation factors were reduced to similar levels. Factor VIII increased in acute liver injury, but was normal in cirrhosis. Interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha levels increased in both patient groups, but were higher in paracetamol overdose. Thrombin-antithrombin and soluble tissue factor levels increased in those with acute liver injury, but were normal in patients with cirrhosis. Functional antithrombin was reduced in both acute liver injury and cirrhosis. It is hypothesized that in acute paracetamol-induced liver injury, immune activation leads to tissue factor-initiated consumption of factors II, V, VII and X, but that levels of factors IX and XI are better preserved because of inhibition of the thrombin-induced amplification phase of coagulation. These findings have implications for appropriate coagulation factor support for patients with acute liver injury.
