Preliminary Evaluation of a Novel Lupus Anticoagulant Activity Assay Unaffected by Anticoagulants

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A novel one‐step lupus anticoagulant (LA) assay based on the LA‐sensitivity ratio (LA‐SR) was developed to simplify diagnostic testing and reduce potential interference from anticoagulants. The LA‐SR method showed good agreement with guideline‐based LA testing (dRVVT and/or LA‐sensitive APTT) for the detection of LA and demonstrated limited influence ...

Evaluating the impact of a newly established hospitalist medicine procedure service on length of stay and procedural outcomes: A retrospective propensity‐matched analysis

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Reliance on interventional radiology (IR) has been associated with delays in procedure completion and prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS). Hospitalist medicine procedure services (HMPS) have been proposed as a strategy to mitigate these inefficiencies, though outcomes of newly established programs composed of physicians with ...

Transient gingival inflammation is associated with epithelial dysfunction and systemic immune activation beyond clinical improvement

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The oral cavity significantly influences systemic health. Gingivitis, an early reversible stage of periodontal disease, may trigger systemic immune changes by facilitating bacterial translocation. This study examined the immune responses elicited by experimental gingivitis and their systemic immune impact, specifically in relation ...

The role of the community pharmacist in medicine information transfer during transitions of care and the impact on associated outcomes: a scoping review

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transitions of care (TOC) between hospital and community settings are high‐risk periods for medication‐related problems (MRPs), often caused by inadequate information transfer between healthcare settings. Community pharmacists are well positioned to support continuity of care; however, they are frequently excluded from the ...
