Cerebral Venous Thrombosis
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1742738Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of stroke that often affects younger age groups, especially reproductive age group females. CVT is a potentially fatal neurological condition that can be frequently overlooked due to the vague nature of its clinical and radiological presentation. Headache is the most common presenting symptom. However, a wide range of symptoms can be present and the symptom onset can be acute, subacute, or chronic. Neuroimaging is mandatory in cases where CVT is suspected. Both magnetic resonance venography and computed tomography venography can ...

Effects of Inflammation on Hemostasis in Acutely Ill Patients with Liver Disease
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1742438Patients with liver diseases are in a rebalanced state of hemostasis, due to simultaneous decline in pro- and anticoagulant factors. This balance seems to remain even in the sickest patients, but is less stable and might destabilize when patients develop disease complications. Patients with acute decompensation of cirrhosis, acute-on-chronic liver failure, or acute liver failure often develop complications associated with changes in the hemostatic system, such as systemic inflammation. Systemic inflammation causes hemostatic alterations by adhesion and aggregation of platelets...

Mutations Accounting for Congenital Fibrinogen Disorders: An Update
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1742170Fibrinogen is a complex protein that plays a key role in the blood clotting process. It is a hexamer composed of two copies of three distinct chains: Aα, Bβ, and γ encoded by three genes, FGA, FGB, and FGG, clustered on the long arm of chromosome 4. Congenital fibrinogen disorders (CFDs) are divided into qualitative deficiencies (dysfibrinogenemia, hypodysfibrinogenemia) in which the mutant fibrinogen molecule is present in the circulation and quantitative deficiencies (afibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia) with no mutant molecule present in the bloodstream. Phenotypic manif...

Neurocoagulation from a Mechanistic Point of View in the Central Nervous System
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1741569Coagulation mechanisms are critical for maintaining homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS). Thrombin, an important player of the coagulation cascade, activates protease activator receptors (PARs), members of the G-protein coupled receptor family. PAR1 is located on neurons and glia. Following thrombin activation, PAR1 signals through the extracellular signal-regulated kinase pathway, causing alterations in neuronal glutamate release and astrocytic morphological changes. Similarly, the anticoagulation factor activated protein C (aPC) can cleave PAR1, following interact...

Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Congenital Bleeding Disorders
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1741571Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is serious, intractable, and potentially life-threatening condition. There is considerable heterogeneity in GIB phenotypes among congenital bleeding disorders (CBDs), making GIB difficult to manage. Although GIB is rarely encountered in CBDs, its severity in some patients makes the need for a comprehensive and precise assessment of underlying factors and management approaches imperative. Initial evaluation of GIB begins with assessment of hematological status; GIB should be ruled out in patients with chronic anemia, and in presentations that inc...

Interaction between Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Protein C Anticoagulant Pathway: A Narrative Review
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1742083Thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a condition in which thrombosis in venous, arterial, and/or small vessels is ascribed to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Among the various proposed pathogenic theories to explain thrombotic APS, those involving the interaction between aPL and the protein C system have gained much consensus. Indeed, robust data show an acquired activated protein C resistance (APC-R) in these patients. The role of aPL in this impairment is clear, but the mechanism of action is uncertain, as the type of aPL and to what extent aPL ar...

What We Know (and Do not Know) Regarding the Pathogenesis of Pulmonary Thrombosis in COVID-19
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1742091The clinical course of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is often complicated by the onset of venous thrombosis and thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing also pulmonary thrombosis. Recent statistics attests that the cumulative frequency of VTE can be as high as 30% in COVID-19 hospitalized patients, increasing to nearly 40 to 70% (depending on systematic screening) in those with severe illness, mechanical ventilation, or intensive care unit admission. The risk of venous thrombosis seems mostly limited to the active phase of disease, and is directly associated with some genetic...

The Role of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type 1 (PAI-1) in Placenta-Mediated Pregnancy Complications: A Systematic Review
In conclusion, no clear evidence indicates that PAI-1 polymorphisms are associated with placenta-mediated pregnancy complications, and the possible association between high PAI-1 plasma levels and preeclampsia needs further investigations. Thus, investigation of PAI-1 genotypes and PAI-1 plasma levels does not currently seem to have a place in daily clinical practice managing placenta-mediated pregnancy complications.
