Study of Rivaroxaban for Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial Comparing Anticoagulation With Rivaroxaban to Standard-of-Care in Symptomatic Cerebral Venous Thrombosis
CONCLUSIONS: Recruitment targets were reached, but many eligible participants declined randomization. There were numerically more bleeding events in patients taking rivaroxaban compared with control, but rates of bleeding and recurrent venous thromboembolism were low overall and in keeping with previous studies. Participants had symptoms affecting their well-being at enrollment but improved over time.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; Unique identifier: NCT03178864.PMID:37675613 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.123.044113

Impact of Rabeprazole on APO-Dabigatran Exposure in Healthy Volunteers
CONCLUSIONS: When APO-dabigatran is administered with rabeprazole, the exposure to dabigatran is reduced by about 30%, which is similar to the level observed with Pradaxa when it was co-administered with a proton pump inhibitor. However, the finding that one-third of participants had a > 50% reduction in exposure is concerning, and it highlights the need for caution in patients who have, or are at risk of, reduced gastric acidity.PMID:36700178 | PMC:PMC9869351 | DOI:10.1016/j.cjco.2022.09.006

MicroRNA and Hemostasis Profile of Carotid Atherosclerosis
We described the miRNA and hemostasis profile of patients with moderate and advanced stages of carotid atherosclerosis and elucidated potential correlations with hemostatic activation. A prospective case-control study included 61 patients with evidence of carotid atherosclerosis (via ultrasound). The study population was divided into groups depending on the degree of carotid artery stenosis: 60% or more (advanced) and <60% (moderate). All patients underwent the following blood tests: general blood test, hemostatic parameters and microRNA. Extraction of microRNA was performed using Leukocyte RNA Purification Kit (NOR...
