Opportunities for improving platelet transfusion practice: A large retrospective audit across 22 hospitals

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Despite evidence‐based guidelines to inform platelet transfusion practice, unnecessary platelet transfusion persists. We performed a multicentre retrospective analysis of adults admitted to general medicine, subspecialty medicine and critical care from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2022.

Summary Background and Objectives Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease in the Western world. While remission is achieved in the majority of BP patients by long‐term use of corticosteroids with or without immunomodulants/immunosuppressants, national and international guidelines recommend adjuvant immunoadsorption (IA)

Impact of Preanalytical Sample Preparation on the Recovery Rate of Cryopreserved Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cells

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cryopreservation of peripheral‐blood‐derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (PBSCs) has been used for decades, primarily for autologous transplantation. Now, in the era of new cellular therapies, the cryopreservation of allogeneic PBSCs may also become relevant.

TGFβ enhances platelet–breast‐cancer‐cell interaction and promotes platelet aggregation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
TGFβ stimulation promotes EMT in MCF7 cells, increasing their ability to bind, activate, and aggregate PLT. This effect involves the upregulation of adhesion molecules Integrin‐αv and Galectin‐3. Inhibiting Integrin‐αv or Galectin‐3, through Cilengitide and GB1103, reduces PLT adhesion to MCF7 and PLT aggregation, suggesting a mechanism linking TGFβ ...

Apremilast in Japanese patients with palmoplantar pustulosis: A randomized, Phase 3 trial

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
In this Phase 3 trial of Japanese patients with moderate to severe PPP (NCT05174065), significantly more patients achieved PPPASI‐50 at Week 16 with apremilast versus placebo. Patient‐reported outcomes, including pruritus and pain/discomfort, also showed significantly greater decreases at Week 16 with apremilast versus placebo.
