Prophylaxis - A treatment regimen aimed at preventing bleeding episodes among people with hemophilia.
Primary prophylaxis - A method of regularly scheduled treatments to prevent bleeding episodes before they
occur. Today, the majority of people with severe hemophilia begin this regimen at a young age to prevent long-
term damage to joints.
Recombinant - A type of factor concentrate that is manufactured in a laboratory instead of being separated from
human blood. Recombinant proteins are copies of certain kinds of proteins found in human blood plasma.
Spontaneous bleeding - Bleeding that happens for no clear reason (not after an injury or surgery).
Synovium - The lining of the joint capsule. It is made of special cells that make a slippery, oily fluid that helps
the joint move easily.
Spontaneous mutation - The development of a hereditary disease for which there is no family history.
Target joint - A term for a particular joint that has experienced repeated bleeds or at least four bleeds into one
joint within a six-month period.
Thrombophilia - A categorical term for several distinct conditions where there is an increased tendency for
excessive clotting.
Von Willebrand Disease - A bleeding disorder in which von Willebrand factor, a blood protein, is either
missing or does not function properly. Von Willebrand disease is the most common bleeding disorder since
both men and women can inherit it equally.
Venepuncture - This can be done to take blood or to give an intravenous injection.
