Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta‐Analysis of CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2
ABSTRACT Background Recent randomized trials (CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2) have compared carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) plus contemporary medical therapy (CMT) versus CMT alone in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Comparative Clinical Outcome Based on Direct Antiglobulin Test Status in Neonates with ABO Incompatibility: A Prospective Cohort Study [PDF]
Introduction: ABO Haemolytic Disease of the Newborn (ABOHDN) is a significant but often under-recognised cause of neonatal haemolysis. A positive Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) is observed in 20-40% of ABO incompatible cases.

Endothelial Cell Proteins as Biomarkers in Susac Syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective Susac syndrome (SS) is a rare CD8+ T cell–mediated microangiopathy affecting the brain, retina, and auditory labyrinth. Endothelial injury is thought to be a central mechanism; however, no circulating disease biomarkers are known. We performed targeted proteomic profiling to identify circulating endothelial‐associated proteins as ...

Blood group incompatibilities in pregnancy.
Hemolytic disease is the result of red blood cell antibody transfer from mother to fetus causing destruction of fetal red blood cells. Cell destruction is due to the antigen-antibody reaction. While Rh incompatibility has been rendered preventible, there are many other blood groups which can cause the same disease.
