Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Obesity is widely recognized as a pro‐thrombotic condition, yet the specific biomarker profile reflecting coagulation activation remains incompletely defined. Obesity is associated with increased coagulation activation, particularly in children, suggesting an early pro‐thrombotic shift.

AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Stability of Thrombin in the Presence of Fibrinolysin.
SummaryIt has been shown that fibrinolysin does not affect the clotting activity of thrombin, and that the thrombin preparation increased the stability of fibrinolysin under the conditions of these experiments.

Abstract Objectives To highlight tranexamic acid (TXA) as ‘just one thing’ that every hospital could implement to reduce surgical bleeding and blood transfusions. Background TXA is a low‐cost antifibrinolytic agent that inhibits the breakdown of fibrin blood clots. Developed in Japan in the 1960s, it has been shown to reduce surgical bleeding.

Rapid screening of staphylokinase protein variants using an unpurified cell‐free expression system
An unpurified cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) platform enables rapid functional screening of staphylokinase variants. Direct plasminogen‐activation assays performed in microplate format provide real‐time activity readouts, allowing rapid identification and ranking of variants with improved or reduced fibrinolytic activity without protein ...

Placental insufficiency is a thromboinflammatory disorder driven by angiogenic imbalance, complement activation, endothelial dysfunction and coagulation dysregulation, leading to microvascular thrombosis, impaired uteroplacental perfusion and adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, including pre‐eclampsia, fetal growth restriction and stillbirth.

Targeting fibrosis in the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction
Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a widely prevalent age‐associated disease that is the main contributor to lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in aging men. Although prostate fibrosis has been recognized as a contributor to BPH pathophysiology, there are not any clinically available therapeutics that target this aspect of disease ...

ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is common in bipolar disorder (BD), but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to (1) summarize all literature describing relationships of biofluid biomarkers and cognition in BD and (2) identify which biofluid biomarkers correlate most consistently with cognition in BD ...

Haemostatic changes and bleeding with anti‐IL‐6 directed therapy in autoimmune diseases
Abstract Anti‐IL‐6 directed therapy, especially tocilizumab (TCZ), is widely used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Next to being a master regulator of inflammation, IL‐6 also is an important regulator of haemostasis. Although generally well tolerated,
