Density-based lipoprotein depletion improves extracellular vesicle isolation and functional analysis
CONCLUSION: Combination of G-UC+SEC significantly reduced EV lipoprotein contamination without interfering in EV cellular source, gene ontology and ultrastructure, allowing the obtention of highly pure EVs with potential implications for functional assays, proteomic and lipidomic analysis.PMID:38278418 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtha.2024.01.010 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

< em > In  vitro < /em > characterization of rare anti- α < sub > IIb < /sub > β < sub > 3 < /sub > isoantibodies produced by patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia that severely block fibrinogen binding and generate procoagulant platelets via complement activation
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that complement activation induced by rare blocking anti-αIIbβ3 isoantibodies may lead to the formation of a MAC with subsequent pore formation, resulting in calcium influx and procoagulant platelet phenotype.PMID:38268518 | PMC:PMC10805943 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2023.102253 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Venous thromboembolism, chronic liver disease and anticoagulant choice: effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin
CONCLUSION: While the magnitude of clinical benefit varied across individual DOACs, in adults with acute VTE and chronic liver disease, oral factor Xa inhibitors (as a class or individually) were associated with lower risk of recurrent VTE and major bleeding.PMID:38268519 | PMC:PMC10805675 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2023.102293 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Effects of antiplatelet therapy on menstrual blood loss in reproductive-aged women: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There is lack of high-quality data on the effects of antiplatelet therapy on menstrual bleeding. Aspirin may increase menstrual blood loss, at least in a minority of women, whereas the effects of P2Y12 inhibitors are unknown.PMID:38268520 | PMC:PMC10805676 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2023.102295 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

von Willebrand factor Ristocetin co-factor activity to von Willebrand factor antigen level ratio for diagnosis of acquired von Willebrand syndrome caused by aortic stenosis
CONCLUSION: VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag ratios of <0.7 may indicate loss of VWF large multimers with high specificity, but low sensitivity. VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag ratios in patients with AS having a ratio of <0.7 may be useful for monitoring the loss of VWF large multimers during their clinical courses.PMID:38268521 | PMC:PMC10805667 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2023.102284 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)
