Management of Deep Vein Thrombosis: An Update Based on the Revised AWMF S2k Guideline
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Apr;44(2):97-110. doi: 10.1055/a-2178-6574. Epub 2024 Apr 30.ABSTRACTDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are the most common manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Most DVTs affect the lower-extremity veins. Since the symptoms of DVT are non-specific, a prompt and standardised diagnostic work-up is essential to minimise the risk of PE in the acute phase and to prevent thrombosis progression, post-thrombotic syndrome and VTE recurrence in the long-term. Only recently, the AWMF S2k guidelines on Diagnostics and Therapy of Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism have been rev...

Light-Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Assessing Response to Chemotherapy
CONCLUSION: Cardiac amyloid deposition can regress following chemotherapy in patients with AL-CA, particularly showing more prominent regression, possibly earlier, in the RV. CMR emerges as an effective tool for monitoring associated tissue characteristics and ventricular functional recovery in patients with AL-CA undergoing chemotherapy, thereby supporting its utility in treatment response assessment.PMID:38685733 | PMC:PMC11058424 | DOI:10.3348/kjr.2023.0985 (Source: Korean Journal of Radiology)

Impact of sub-chronic polystyrene nanoplastics exposure on hematology, histology, and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related protein expression in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol. 2024 Apr 28:110982. doi: 10.1016/j.cbpb.2024.110982. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNanoplastics (NPs) are one of the most hazardous marine litters, having the potential to cause far-reaching impacts on the environment and humankind. The effect of NPs on fish health has been studied, but their impact on the subcellular organelles remains unexplored. The present investigation studied the possible implications of polystyrene-nanoplastics (PS-NPs) on the hematology, tissue organization, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related proteins in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish ...

The history of haploidentical stem cell transplantation: a trip from the bench to the bedside
Hematology. 2024 Dec;29(1):2346401. doi: 10.1080/16078454.2024.2346401. Epub 2024 Apr 30.ABSTRACTAllogeneic bone marrow transplantation is a curative intervention for both neoplastic and non-malignant conditions. However, not all patients have an HLA-matched donor. Therefore, the development of an approach that expand the donor pool was of paramount relevance. The development of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide as graft versus host disease prophylaxis allows the safe use of haploidentical donors, solving the donor availability problem to the vast majority of patients in need. The present paper reviews the history of t...

Pulmonary Embolism: An Update Based on the Revised AWMF-S2k Guideline
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Apr;44(2):111-118. doi: 10.1055/s-0044-1779011. Epub 2024 Apr 30.ABSTRACTPulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common acute cardiovascular disease. The risk of PE increases with age and mortality is high. Patients are stratified into hemodynamically stable versus unstable patients, as this has important implications for diagnosis and therapy. Since clinical signs and symptoms of acute PE are nonspecific, the clinical likelihood of PE is estimated to guide diagnostic pathways. D-dimer testing is performed in hemodynamically stable patients with low or intermediate probability of PE and the visualiz...

Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism in Patients on Anticoagulation: An Update Based on the Revised AWMF S2k Guideline
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Apr;44(2):150-154. doi: 10.1055/a-2173-7729. Epub 2024 Apr 30.ABSTRACTIn the recently updated German S2k Guideline "Diagnostics and Therapy of Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism," a new chapter was incorporated about recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients on anticoagulation treatment. Despite the high efficacy of anticoagulation in most patients, approximately 2% experience a recurrent VTE event while receiving anticoagulant drugs. The proper diagnosis of the recurrent VTE is important and possible only with the knowledge of localization and thrombus burden of the primary VTE event. ...
