Benefit-risk profile of cytoreductive drugs along with antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapy after transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke in myeloproliferative neoplasms [PDF]
We analyzed 597 patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) who presented transient ischemic attacks (TIA, n = 270) or ischemic stroke (IS, n = 327). Treatment included aspirin, oral anticoagulants, and cytoreductive drugs.

Comorbidities in aging patients with sickle cell disease. [PDF]
Sickle cell disease (SCD) in general and sickle cell anemia in particular is a highly complex disorder both at the molecular and clinical levels. Although the molecular lesion is a single-point mutation, the sickle gene is pleiotropic in nature causing ...

Randomized phase 2 trial of regadenoson for treatment of acute vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell disease [PDF]
Key Points Regadenoson did not reduce iNKT cell activation to a prespecified level when administered to patients with SCD. Because iNKT cell activation was not reduced, the benefit of iNKT cell-based therapies in SCD cannot be determined.
