Evaluation of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Obstet Gynecol. 2024 Jan 4. doi: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005498. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects approximately 5% of couples. Although RPL definitions vary across professional societies, an evaluation after a second clinically recognized first-trimester pregnancy loss is recommended. Good quality evidence links parental chromosomal rearrangements, uterine anomalies, and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) to RPL. In contrast, the relationship between RPL and other endocrine, hematologic, and immunologic disorders or environmental exposures is less clear. Anticoagulant therapy and low-dose asp...

Chronic abdominal aortic occlusive disease related to antiphospholipid syndrome: a rare presentation
CONCLUSION: The study shed light on the rare occurrence of CAAOD in APS, highlighting the roles of smoking and hyperhomocysteinaemia as notable risk factors. These findings emphasised the significance of early diagnosis and management of CAAOD.PMID:38176738 | DOI:10.1136/rmdopen-2023-003664 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Celiac trunk thrombosis in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome induced by median arcuate ligament compression: a case presentation and literature review
We report a case of a 29-year-old patient diagnosed with MALS and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) that developed celiac trunk, common hepatic artery and splenic artery thrombosis. There is not enough information on MALS as a trigger of thrombosis in predisposed patients such as those with APS. However, the case gives rise to suspicion and highlights the diagnostic processes, especially for patients with APS presenting postprandial abdominal pain and weight loss. This review likewise aims at the importance of Doppler ultrasonography as a screening tool and computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) both i...

Myocarditis As A Manifestation Of Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has been well studied and has known association with Libman Sacks endocarditis, accelerated atherosclerotic disease, valvular dysfunction, intracardiac thrombi and myxomas, pulmonary hypertension, and left ventricular dysfunction. Although APS has been associated with lupus myocarditis, there has not been reports of APS myocarditis. Here we present a unique case of bilateral adrenal hemorrhage and myocarditis secondary to APS.

886 Non-Criteria Obstetrics Antiphospholipid Syndrome is an independent risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcome
Non-Criteria Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome (NC-OAPS) includes individuals who fit OAPS clinical criteria but not the Sydney laboratory requirements. The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of NC-OAPS, antiphospholipid antibodies (APLab) profile, pregnancy outcomes among NC-OAPS and long-term thrombotic and obstetric complications.

Placenta microRNA profile of patient with Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome
In this study, we aimed to profile miRNA expressions from placenta tissue of patients with APS. Differentially expressed miRNAs were determined for its targeted genes and pathways. Agilent microarray platform was used to measure placental microRNA expressions between normal placental tissue and those obtained from patients with APS. Differentially expressed miRNAs were detected using GeneSpring GX software 14.2 and sequences were mapped using TargetScan software to generate the predicted target genes. Pathway analysis for the genes was then performed on PANTHER and REACTOME software. Selected miRNAs and their associated ge...
