This study was designed to evaluate the antiplatelet effect of deferiprone in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassaemia/Hb E at the dose of iron-chelation therapy. The results may provide a mechanistic insight in antiplatelet effects and support the benefit of deferiprone in the prevention of thrombotic events in β-thalassaemia.

There is some evidence that propranolol may benefit individuals with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). This article discusses three case series that assessed the use of propranolol for the management of BPSD. From these studies, it appears that propranolol improves BPSD and is well tolerated. In clinical practice, the routine use of propranolol among people with BPSD cannot be recommended at this time given the limited data. However, propranolol can be trialled among individuals with BPSD when symptoms have not responded adequately to other medications.
