Changes in Coagulation in Cancer Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Treatment (HIPEC) —A Systematic Review
In conclusion, a decrease in platelet count and subtle changes in secondary hemostasis were found following cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC. Data on the effect of cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC on fibrinolysis are sparse and this needs to be further investigated.

The Role of the von Willebrand Factor Collagen-Binding Assay (VWF:CB) in the Diagnosis and Treatment of von Willebrand Disease (VWD) and Way Beyond: A Comprehensive 36-Year History
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1763259The von Willebrand factor (VWF) collagen binding (VWF:CB) assay was first reported for use in von Willebrand diagnostics in 1986, by Brown and Bosak. Since then, the VWF:CB has continued to be used to help diagnose von Willebrand disease (VWD) (correctly) and also to help assign the correct subtype, as well as to assist in the monitoring of VWD therapy, especially desmopressin (DDAVP). However, it is important to recognize that the specific value of any VWF:CB is predicated on the use of an optimized VWF:CB, and that not all VWF:CB assays are so optimized. There are some good ...

Assessment of Hemostatic Profile in Neonates with Intrauterine Growth Restriction: A Systematic Review of Literature
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1762893Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) affects nearly 10 to 15% of pregnancies and is responsible for many short- and long-term adverse consequences, including hemostatic derangement. Both thrombotic and hemorrhagic events are described in the perinatal period in these neonates. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the laboratory studies used to evaluate the hemostatic system of the IUGR small for gestational age neonate. We reviewed the current literature via PubMed and Scopus until September 2022. Following our inclusion/exclusion criteria, we...

Hemostasis in the Pregnant Woman, the Placenta, the Fetus, and the Newborn Infant
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1760332The hemostasis system is composed of procoagulant, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic proteins that interact with endothelial and blood cells and with each other in a complex system of checks and balances to maintain blood flow while preventing both hemorrhage and thrombosis. Pregnancy is a unique physiological state in which biological alterations predispose both mother and fetus to both bleeding and clotting. The placenta is a vascular interface for maternal and fetal blood exchange which predisposes the mother to hemorrhage. Maternal hemostasis presents a compensatory hypercoa...

The History of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and the Development of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Anticoagulation
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1761488Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was first started for humans in early 1970s by Robert Bartlett. Since its inception, there have been numerous challenges with extracorporeal circulation, such as coagulation and platelet activation, followed by consumption of coagulation factors and platelets, and biocompatibility of tubing, pump, and oxygenator. Unfractionated heparin (heparin hereafter) has historically been the defacto anticoagulant until recently. Also, coagulation monitoring was mainly based on bedside activated clotting time and activated partial thromboplastin ...

Drug –Drug Interactions in the Treatment of Cancer-Associated Venous Thromboembolism with Direct Oral Anticoagulants
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1762596Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent complication of cancer, and management of cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) is challenging due to increased risks of bleeding and recurrent VTE. Recent trials have shown an acceptable efficacy and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the treatment of CAT compared to low-molecular weight heparin. Although DOACs provide an effective and convenient treatment option in CAT, the need to assess the risk of drug–drug interactions (DDI) with antineoplastic therapies poses a barrier to their use in clinical practice. With the aim...

Prognostic Impact of the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Score in Sepsis: A Systematic Review
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1761216The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) diagnostic criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) are widely used for DIC diagnosis. However, the prognostic value of the score may vary between different patient populations and settings. This systematic review investigated the association between the ISTH DIC score and mortality in sepsis patients. A literature search was conducted in PubMed and Embase. Inclusion criteria were studies including adult and pediatric patients hospitalized with sepsis, using any sepsis definition, and investigating...

Evolution of Hemostasis Testing: A Personal Reflection Covering over 40 Years of History*
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1761487There is no certainty in change, other than change is certain. As Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis celebrates 50 years of publication, I felt it appropriate to reflect on my own 40-year plus scientific career. My career in the thrombosis and hemostasis field did not start until 1987, but the subsequent 35 years reflected a period of significant change in associated disease diagnostics. I started in the Westmead Hospital “coagulation laboratory” when staff were still performing manual clotting tests, using stopwatches, pipettes, test tubes, and a water bath, which we t...

Mechanisms of Thrombosis in Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia and Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1761269Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) are rare, iatrogenic immune-mediated conditions with high rates of thrombosis-related morbidity and mortality. HIT is a long-recognized reaction to the administration of the common parenterally administered anticoagulant heparin (or its derivatives), while VITT is a new, distinct syndrome occurring in response to adenovirus-based vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 and potentially other types of vaccines. A feature of both HIT and VITT is paradoxical thrombosis despite a ...

The History of Factor XIII Deficiency
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1761217Despite the early discovery of factor XIII (FXIII) in 1944, the diagnosis of FXIII deficiency was not made until 1960, after all the other coagulation factor deficiencies, most likely due to the normality of routine coagulation testing in FXIII deficiency. Although the first case was detected by the clot solubility test and this test has long since been used to detect FXIII deficiency, the test is no longer recommended by experts. Over the past 60 years, knowledge about FXIII deficiency has expanded considerably, between 1992, when the first variant was identified, and 2022, 1...

Evolution of Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Semin Thromb Hemost DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1760333Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune prothrombotic disease characterized by thrombosis and/or pregnancy complications caused by antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). The history of APS can be traced back to observations made during screening programs for syphilis conducted in the mid-20th century, with identification of patients with the so-called biological false-positive serological reactions for syphilis. Initial observation linking aPL with recurrent miscarriages was first reported more than 40 years ago. Since then, our understanding of the pathogenesis and manag...
