Blood platelet kinetics and platelet transfusion [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013
The discovery of citrate anticoagulant in the 1920s and the development of plastic packs for blood collection in the 1960s laid the groundwork for platelet transfusion therapy on a scale not previously possible. A major limitation, however, was the finding that platelet concentrates prepared from blood anticoagulated with citrate were unsuitable for ...

Nudix hydrolase 15 deficiency and azathioprine toxicity in a liver transplant recipient: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Thiopurines, such as azathioprine (AZA), are among the immunosuppressants used to prevent allograft rejection. Thiopurines are metabolized by thiopurine S‐methyltransferase (TPMT) and nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) enzymes, and their functions are highly influenced by genetic variation. We present a 6‐year‐old female with recurrent acute cellular

Suspected fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis in an immunocompetent child with hepatitis C: Case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 12‐year‐old boy presented to our center with elevated aminotransferases, jaundice, right upper quadrant tenderness, and hepatomegaly. Evaluation revealed a highly elevated blood hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) level, and liver biopsy showed canalicular and intrahepatic cholestasis, feathery degeneration of hepatocytes, and ...

Endoscopic hemostasis using a narrow‐caliber endoscope for a bleeding duodenal ulcer in a 7‐month‐old infant: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Duodenal ulcers are rare in infants, and their endoscopic management is challenging because of anatomical factors and limited availability of hemostatic devices compatible with narrow‐caliber endoscopes. Here, we present the case of a 7‐month‐old female infant who developed upper gastrointestinal bleeding 9 days post‐cardiac surgery while ...

Prognostic Determinants of Overall Survival After Resection for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: A Consensus‐Based Conceptual Framework

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) carries a dismal prognosis despite surgical resection, yet the prognostic literature remains fragmented across hundreds of single‐institution studies that vary in design, covariates, and analytical approaches.

Development and External Validation of a Postoperative Risk Score for Venous Thromboembolism in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a major complication in women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We aimed to develop and externally validate an early postoperative risk score to identify EOC patients at increased risk of VTE after debulking surgery.

Non‐Linear Threshold Effect of Dynamic Estimated Plasma Volume Status on Revealing In‐Hospital Mortality Risk in Sepsis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This retrospective cohort study evaluated the association between estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) and in‐hospital mortality in adult patients with sepsis from the MIMIC‐IV (v2.2) database. After excluding patients with early death, readmission, red blood cell transfusion, malignancy, or missing ePVS data, 17,403 patients meeting Sepsis‐3
