Immature platelet dynamics in management of protracted response to therapy of a young pediatric patient with immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) represents an emergent clinical presentation that can lead to significant morbidity and potentially mortality if left untreated. Diagnosis of iTTP is dependent upon establishing deficiency in the enzyme ADAMTS13 ( ≤10 %), that in most cases is due to autoantibody formation [1]. These inhibitory autoantibodies prevent ADAMTS13 function leading to accumulation of ultra-large molecular weight von Willebrand Factor multimers, diffuse microvascular thrombi formation and consequently severe thrombocytopenia [2] .

The international normalised ratio to monitor coagulation factor production during normothermic machine perfusion of human donor livers
Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of donor livers allows for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. As the liver produces most of the haemostatic proteins, coagulation assays such as the International Normalised Ratio (INR) performed in perfusate may be useful to assess hepatocellular function of donor livers undergoing NMP. However, high concentrations of heparin and low levels of fibrinogen may affect coagulation assays. (Source: Thrombosis Research)

Idarucizumab for dabigatran reversal: A systematic review and meta-analysis of indications and outcomes
Idarucizumab has been approved to reverse the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran. However, there is little knowledge of the effectiveness and safety of idarucizumab in daily practice. (Source: Thrombosis Research)

Major cardiovascular events after COVID-19, event rates post-vaccination, antiviral or anti-inflammatory therapy, and temporal trends: Rationale and methodology of the CORONA-VTE-Network study
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with excess risk of cardiovascular and thrombotic events in the early post-infection period and during convalescence. Despite the progress in our understanding of cardiovascular complications, uncertainty persists with respect to more recent event rates, temporal trends, association between vaccination status and outcomes, and findings within vulnerable subgroups such as older adults (aged 65  years or older), or those undergoing hemodialysis. Sex-informed findings, including results among pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as adjusted comparisons between male and ...

Effect of the P-glycoprotein inhibitor tamoxifen on edoxaban plasma levels in women with breast cancer
Concomitant use of P-glycoprotein inhibitors can reduce clearance of edoxaban and increase its plasma concentration. Caution is advised with simultaneous use of edoxaban and the frequently used P-glycoprotein inhibitor tamoxifen. However, pharmacokinetic data are lacking. (Source: Thrombosis Research)

Use of ecarin chromogenic assay during bivalirudin anticoagulation in adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Bivalirudin directly inhibits clot-bound and circulating thrombin without requiring cofactors, has a short half-life, and lacks immunogenicity, making it an attractive anticoagulant over heparin during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) [1]. Empirical evidence demonstrates a favorable safety and efficacy profile of bivalirudin, and that it may result in increased time in therapeutic range compared to heparin during ECMO [2]. However, an assay that reliably quantifies bivalirudin anticoagulant effect is critical in preventing thrombus deposition and minimizing bleeding complications during the high stakes' context o...
