Serum D-dimer should not be used in the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism within 28 days of total knee replacement surgery

Knee Surgery & Related Research, 2020
Background Serum D-dimer is frequently used to rule out a diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a recognised complication following total knee replacement (TKR). TKR is known to cause a rise in D-dimer levels, reducing its specificity.

Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene variants in tumors of non‐NF1 patients and role of R1276

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Somatic variants of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene occur across neoplasms without clinical manifestation of the disease NF1. We identified emerging somatic pathogenic NF1 variants and hotspots, for example, at the arginine finger 1276. Those missense variants provide fundamental information about neurofibromin's role in cancer.

Predictability of CRP and D-Dimer levels for in-hospital outcomes and mortality of COVID-19

Journal of Community Hospital Internal Medicine Perspectives, 2020
Background Systemic inflammation elicited by a cytokine storm is considered a hallmark of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aims to assess the clinical utility of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-Dimer levels for predicting in-hospital ...

Effect of Alzheimer Caregiving Stress and Age on Frailty Markers Interleukin-6, C-Reactive Protein, and D-Dimer [PDF]

, 2017
Background. Elevated plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer belong to the biological alterations of the "frailty syndrome,” defining increased vulnerability for diseases and mortality with aging.

Coagulation and anticoagulation in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

, 2015
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable, progressive interstitial lung disease with a prognosis that is worse than that of many cancers. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between IPF and thrombotic vascular events.

Patatin‐domain‐containing (phospho)lipases under control: Mammalian co‐regulators and pathogenic activation mechanisms

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Patatin domain‐containing (phospho)lipases are lipid‐hydrolyzing enzymes central to metabolism, membrane remodeling, and signaling. Their activity relies on precise co‐activation mechanisms involving protein–protein interactions and conformational rearrangements.

Post-procedural plasma D-dimer level may predict futile recanalization in stroke patients with endovascular treatment

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Objective: High d-dimer levels may increase the likelihood of unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the impacts of serum d-dimer levels on outcomes of reperfusion treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke ...

D-Dimer: Patientenalter beachten! [PDF]

MMW - Fortschritte der Medizin, 2010
Verwendet man einen altersadjustierten Cut-off-Wert, so lasst sich in Verbindung mit der klinischen Wahrscheinlichkeit auch bei alteren Patienten mit Hilfe des D-Dimers eine Lungenembolie sicher ausschliesen.
