An Atypical Skin Presentation of Adult‐Onset Still's Disease With Histological Description: A Case Report

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an auto inflammatory disorder with a variable clinical presentation, and without a pathognomonic diagnostic test, characterized by high spiking fever, arthralgia/arthritis, a suggestive skin rash, elevated white blood cell count 10 G/L (> 80% neutrophils), elevated ferritin, with glycosylated ferritin < 20%

The Effect of Polycythemia Vera on Pregnancy Complications. The Analysis of an American Population Database With Over 9 Million Deliveries

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Polycythemia Vera (PV) is characterized by overproduction of erythrocytes, leading to a hypercoagulable state. Evidence regarding associations between PV and pregnancy outcomes is limited. The aim of our study was to provide robust evidence regarding the prevalence of pregnancy complications in women with PV.

Design and Implementation of an Automated Interpretation Algorithm for Lupus Anticoagulant Functional Testing

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Lupus anticoagulant (LA) testing is essential, albeit complex, in the laboratory diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Given the multi‐step workflow and the variability introduced by anticoagulant therapy, reagent differences, and interpretive approaches, result interpretation requires expert evaluation.

How I Investigate Borderline Prolonged aPTT: An Integrated Laboratory Approach to Mixing Studies and Factor Analysis

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Borderline prolongation of routine clotting assays—particularly the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)—is a common interpretative challenge in laboratory hematology. These reproducible but mildly prolonged results often lie just beyond the upper reference limit and can trigger unnecessary follow‐up, delays, or misinterpretation ...

Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
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 ...
