Mycotic cerebral aneurysm secondary to Streptococcus parasanguinis infective endocarditis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background The pathogenesis of infective endocarditis can cause a range of extracardiac complications. Delayed diagnosis may result in catastrophic embolic sequelae. Streptococcus parasanguinis is a pathogen that insidiously causes infective endocarditis

Clinical application of a modified platelet desialylation test for mechanistic characterization of platelet transfusion refractoriness

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a major challenge in transfusion medicine and may result from both immune and non‐immune mechanisms. Although alloantibodies are well‐established contributors, Fc‐independent pathways such as platelet desialylation have emerged as alternative mechanisms of clearance.
