A Retrospective Study of Adult and Pediatric D‐Dimer Tests to Identify Opportunities for Improved Utilization

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction D‐dimers are produced by lysis of cross‐linked fibrin. In children, D‐dimer testing is used to evaluate disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and some inflammatory states, but its use is not validated for screening or ruling out suspected venous thromboembolic events (VTE).

Out With the Old, in With the New: Age‐Related D‐Dimer Thresholds

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A fixed D‐dimer cut‐off threshold of 0.500 μg/mL is used in Blackrock Health Hermitage Clinic (BHHC) and most Haematology laboratories across Ireland, however, international guidelines have evolved over the past decade, and a growing body of evidence supports the use of age‐adjusted D‐dimer thresholds.

Hyperfibrinolysis: a crucial phenotypic abnormality of posttraumatic fibrinolytic dysfunction

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Traumatic fibrinolytic dysfunction is often categorized into 3 phenotypes based on the result of thromboelastography (TEG) lysis at 30 minutes (LY30): fibrinolysis shutdown, physiologic fibrinolysis, and hyperfibrinolysis.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
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
