Effects of abciximab on key pattern of human coronary restenosis in vitro: impact of the SI/MPL-ratio [PDF]
Background The significant reduction of angiographic restenosis rates in the ISAR-SWEET study (intracoronary stenting and antithrombotic regimen: is abciximab a superior way to eliminate elevated thrombotic risk in diabetes) raises the question of ...

Eptifibatide and abciximab inhibit insulin-induced focal adhesion formation and proliferative responses in human aortic smooth muscle cells [PDF]
Background The use of abciximab (c7E3 Fab) or eptifibatide improves clinical outcomes in diabetics undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. These β3 integrin inhibitors antagonize fibrinogen binding to αIIbβ3 integrins on platelets and ligand ...

Retention of critical platelet hemostatic functions of amotosalen-UVA pathogen-reduced cryoprecipitated fibrinogen complex. [PDF]
Abstract Background Cryoprecipitate Anti‐Haemophilic Factor (CRYO‐AHF) is enriched for fibrinogen, VWF, FVIII, FXIII and fibronectin, but has short post‐thaw expiration due to risk of transfusion‐transmitted infection (TTI) limiting availability for rapid treatment.

Pathogen-reduced plasma, cryoprecipitate reduced for therapeutic plasma exchange. [PDF]
Abstract Background Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and auto‐immune disorders involves repeated patient exposure to allogenic plasma with the risk of transfusion‐transmitted infection (TTI).

Breaking the Barrier: Unraveling the No-Reflow Phenomenon in Cardiovascular Medicine. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The no‐reflow phenomenon is a stubborn and often devastating complication in cardiovascular medicine, where blood flow is restored to an artery, yet the microvasculature remains unresponsive. First identified in 1967, this phenomenon has haunted clinicians and researchers alike, particularly in the context of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Modeling Versus Balancing Approaches to Addressing Instrumental Variables in Weighting: A Comparison of the Outcome-Adaptive Lasso, Stable Balancing Weighting, and Stable Confounder Selection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Variable selection is essential for propensity score (PS)‐weighted estimators. Recent work shows that including instrumental variables (IVs), associated with only treatment but not with the outcome, can impact both the bias and precision of the PS‐weighted estimators.

Diagnosis and Management of Hypersensitivity to Antiplatelet Drugs: EAACI Position Paper. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Antiplatelet drug (APD) therapy is the cornerstone for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The main APDs are aspirin and thienopyridines, particularly clopidogrel. These drugs may induce hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs).

Phase I and Phase II Therapies for Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Update on Currently Studied Drugs in Clinical Research. [PDF]
Acute ischemic stroke is a devastating cause of death and disability, consequences of which depend on the time from ischemia onset to treatment, the affected brain region, and its size.

Quantitative structural mechanobiology of platelet-driven blood clot contraction. [PDF]
Blood clot contraction plays an important role in prevention of bleeding and in thrombotic disorders. Here, we unveil and quantify the structural mechanisms of clot contraction at the level of single platelets.
