Thrombotic Microangiopathy‐Like Phenotype in Patients With Infection‐Associated Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Treated With Thrombomodulin Alfa

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) sharing features of thrombocytopenia, organ dysfunction, and bleeding, the relationship between these two conditions remains unclear. We therefore conducted a post hoc analysis of post‐marketing surveillance data from Japan to evaluate the clinical ...

Impact of Heat Block Drying on Morphologic Preservation and Staining of Peripheral Blood Smears

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear is critical for diagnosis and ruling out certain hematologic disorders. While air‐drying is standard, some laboratories may use heat blocks to expedite drying. Excessive heat may induce morphologic artifacts, but there is a lack of systematic literature on this practice ...

Unsupervised Global CBC/RUO/CPD Phenotyping Identifies Haematological Clusters Enriched for Thrombocytopenia Severity and Mechanisms

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Thrombocytopenia has heterogeneous mechanisms, including peripheral destruction, consumption, and reduced marrow production. This study developed an unsupervised global complete blood count/research‐use‐only/cell population data (CBC/RUO/CPD) phenotyping model and evaluated post hoc whether thrombocytopenia severity and clinically

Australian consensus recommendations for the management of increased meningococcal infection risk in adults with neurological diseases treated with complement inhibitors

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Complement inhibitor therapy carries a risk of serious infections, including meningococcal disease. Here we provide evidence‐based recommendations and expert consensus for immunisation and prophylactic treatment of patients receiving, or planning to receive, complement inhibitors for neurological conditions in the Australian setting.
