Thromboelastography (TEG) or thromboelastometry (ROTEM) to monitor haemostatic treatment versus usual care in adults or children with bleeding.

BACKGROUND: Severe bleeding and coagulopathy are serious clinical conditions that are associated with high mortality. Thromboelastography (TEG) and thromboelastometry (ROTEM) are increasingly used to guide transfusion strategy, but their roles remain disputed. This is an update of a review that was first published in 2011 and updated in January 2016. OBJECTIVES: The objective was to evaluate the benefits and harms of TEG-/ROTEM-guided transfusion strategies for bleeding in adults and children by comparing TEG-ROTEM-guided transfusion with standard treatment. SEARCH METHODS: In this updated r

Factor X deficiency: An overlooked cause of bleeding in the newborn.

Inherited factor X (FX) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder, presenting with various bleeding manifestations ranging from nonspecific bruising to life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage. It is often misdiagnosed as hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. It is characterized by prolonged prothrombin time, as well as activated partial thromboplastin time, and needs FX level assay for definitive diagnosis. Here, we describe a case of a newborn with FX deficiency who presented with frank umbilical stump bleeding.

Acute kidney injury: pathogenesis and therapeutic interventions.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a prevalent clinical condition that is associated with unacceptably high morbidity and mortality, as well as the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The pathogenesis of AKI is highly complex and heterogeneous, primarily attributed to metabolic disturbances arising from the disease itself and the administration of medications related to treatment. In recent years, AKI in cancer patients is highly concerned. The emergence of AKI caused injuries and dysfunction of remote organs but also enhanced the health-care costs. It's essential for early recognition of A

Presenting signs and patient co-variables in Gaucher disease: outcome of the Gaucher Earlier Diagnosis Consensus (GED-C) Delphi initiative.

BACKGROUND: Gaucher disease (GD) presents with a range of signs and symptoms. Physicians can fail to recognise the early stages of GD owing to a lack of disease awareness, which can lead to significant diagnostic delays and sometimes irreversible but avoidable morbidities. AIM: The Gaucher Earlier Diagnosis Consensus (GED-C) initiative aimed to identify signs and co-variables considered most indicative of early type 1 and type 3 GD, to help non-specialists identify 'at-risk' patients who may benefit from diagnostic testing. METHODS: An anonymous, three-round Delphi consensus process was depl

Nonlinear Association Between Calculated Globulin Levels and 28-Day Mortality in Patients with Sepsis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

BackgroundSepsis remains a significant global health challenge, causing approximately 11 million deaths annually. The calculated globulin (CG) level, which is derived from total protein and albumin levels, plays crucial roles in the immune response and inflammation. However, the relationship between the CG level and sepsis mortality remains unexplored.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed sepsis patients from the eICU Collaborative Research Database. The primary outcome was 28-day ICU mortality. The relationship between the CG level and mortality was examined via generalized additive

Cancer in pregnancy: FIGO Best practice advice and narrative review.

Cancer during pregnancy is relatively rare. The incidence is underestimated due to the lack of international registries covering both high-income and low- and middle-income countries, and is expected to rise with increasing maternal age and increasing global adoption of cell-free DNA testing for aneuploidy. Physiological changes during pregnancy often make the diagnosis challenging and delayed. Lack of experience and knowledge about this condition may also contribute to late diagnosis, suboptimal management, and occasionally inadvertent fetal and/or maternal harm. The principles of cancer mana

Clinical applications of immunoglobulin: update.

Human immunoglobulin is the most used blood product in the clinical practice. Immunoglobulin applications have increased quickly since the elucidation of its immunomodulatory and antiinflammatory properties which turned this blood product into a precious tool in the treatment of numerous diseases that present with humoral immune deficiency or that cause immune system dysfunction. Currently, the approved indications for Ig are: primary immunodeficiencies, secondary immunodeficiencies (multiple myeloma or chronic lymphoid leukemia), Kawasaki syndrome, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, Guillain Ba

A Case Series of Elizabethkingia meningosepticum Bacteremia in the Cancer Population.

Elizabethkingia meningosepticum (E. meningosepticum) is a ubiquitous microorganism previously known as Chryseobacterium meningosepticum. It is emerging as a pathogen responsible for bacteremia in the immunocompromised population, particularly in cancer patients and those with a history of prolonged hospital stay and frequent instrumentations. A retrospective chart review of all cases over 10 years at the Moffitt Cancer Center showed a total of three patients with E. meningosepticum infection. The first patient (history of multiple myeloma) underwent endoscopy complicated by aspiration pneumoni

Anti-Infective-Associated AKI: A Narrative Review of the Epidemiology, Mechanisms, Risk Factors, Biomarkers, Clinical Course, Monitoring, Prevention, and Therapeutic Strategies.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs commonly in hospitalized patients, especially patients in intensive care units (ICUs). Medications are among the major causative factors of AKI. This narrative review addressed and updated different aspects of anti-infective-associated AKI, including amphotericin B, cidofovir, foscarnet, polymyxins, vancomycin, and aminoglycosides. There is no standard definition or operational criteria to describe anti-infective-associated AKI. Characteristically, it usually occurs during the first two weeks of treatment and is typically dose dependent. Functional resolution o

Evidence for the use of intravenous immunoglobulins--a review of the literature.

Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) were first introduced in the middle of the twentieth century for the treatment of primary immunodeficiencies. In 1981, Paul Imbach noticed an improvement of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, in patients receiving IVIg for immunodeficiencies. This opened a new era for the treatment of autoimmune conditions with IVIg. Since then, IVIg has become an important treatment option in a wide spectrum of diseases, including autoimmune and acute inflammatory conditions, most of them off-label (not included in the US Food and Drug Administration recommendation). A panel

Rapid health transition in China, 1990-2010: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010.

BACKGROUND: China has undergone rapid demographic and epidemiological changes in the past few decades, including striking declines in fertility and child mortality and increases in life expectancy at birth. Popular discontent with the health system has led to major reforms. To help inform these reforms, we did a comprehensive assessment of disease burden in China, how it changed between 1990 and 2010, and how China's health burden compares with other nations. METHODS: We used results of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 (GBD 2010) for 1990 and 2010 for China

Reversing Autoimmunity Combination of Rituximab and Intravenous Immunoglobulin.

In this concept paper, the authors present a unique and novel protocol to treat autoimmune diseases that may have the potential to reverse autoimmunity. It uses a combination of B cell depletion therapy (BDT), specifically rituximab (RTX) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), based on a specifically designed protocol (Ahmed Protocol). Twelve infusions of RTX are given in 6-14 months. Once the CD20+ B cells are depleted from the peripheral blood, IVIg is given monthly until B cells repopulation occurs. Six additional cycles are given to end the protocol. During the stages of B cell depletion,
