A New Case of Abetalipoproteinemia Caused by Novel Compound Heterozygote Mutations in the MTTP Gene without Fat or Vitamin Malabsorption
J Atheroscler Thromb. 2024 May 14. doi: 10.5551/jat.64730. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAbetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare disease characterized by extremely low apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoprotein levels, dietary fat, and fat-soluble vitamin malabsorption, leading to gastrointestinal, neuromuscular, and ophthalmological symptoms. We herein report a case of ABL with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene (c.1686_1687del [p.Ser563TyrfsTer10] and c.1862T>C [p.Ile621Thr]), identified via panel sequencing. Although the patient had extremely reduced low-densit...

Interpretation of coagulation laboratory tests for patients on ECMO
Int J Lab Hematol. 2024 May 15. doi: 10.1111/ijlh.14308. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a type of circulatory life support for patients with severe lung failure. The use of ECMO has increased worldwide since the pandemic of H1N1 in 2009 and more recently SARS-CoV-2 in 2020 both of which caused severe respiratory failure. ECMO patients experience both increased risk of bleeding and thrombosis. This is due to the pathological insult that damages the lungs, the ECMO circuit, coagulopathy, inflammation and anticoagulation. ECMO presents unique demands on the coagulation laboratory b...

Safety and Efficacy of Direct Oral Anticoagulants vs Warfarin in Patients With Obesity and Venous Thromboembolism: A Retrospective Analysis
CONCLUSION: No significant differences could be determined between DOACs and warfarin for cumulative thromboembolic or bleeding events, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, or all-cause mortality. The risk of DVT was lower with apixaban and rivaroxaban. Regardless of patient weight or body mass index, physicians prescribed DOACs more commonly than warfarin.PMID:38748549 | PMC:PMC11095664 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-23-8260 (Source: Texas Heart Institute Journal)

A Case of Coronary Artery Perforation Caused by Manual Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the Catheterization Laboratory
Int Heart J. 2024 May 15. doi: 10.1536/ihj.23-549. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is essential for the survival of cardiac arrest patients, but it can cause severe traumatic complications. In the catheterization laboratory, various physical constraints complicate the appropriate performance of CPR. However, we are not aware of reports of CPR complications in this setting. Here, we report a case of coronary artery perforation (CAP) caused by manual CPR in the catheterization laboratory. The patient, a 68-year-old woman, initially underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI...
