How Ireland’s Bleeding Disorders Research Is Changing Global Practice
What the research focuses on My work centers on inherited bleeding disorders—conditions that cause people to bleed more easily due to genetic factors. While haemophilia is widely known, many other disorders deserve attention, such as von Willebrand disease and various rare platelet function disorders. At the heart of this research is understanding how these conditions…

Ireland’s Bleeding Disorders Research: Redrawing International Practices
Overview: What the research is about My work centers on inherited bleeding disorders, a group that includes well-known conditions like haemophilia and less familiar ones such as von Willebrand disease. These disorders share a common challenge: a tendency to bleed more easily due to genetic factors that affect blood clotting. While the specifics of each…

How Large Language Models Aid Diagnosis of Rare Hematologic Diseases and Influence Physician Decision-Making
Introduction: Leveraging AI to tackle rare hematologic diseases Rare diseases pose substantial diagnostic challenges due to their low prevalence, diverse presentations, and often multisystem involvement. This study investigates how large language models (LLMs), especially new-generation transformers with chain-of-thought (CoT) capabilities, perform in diagnosing rare hematologic diseases and how their outputs shape physician decision-making in real-world…
