Efficacy of Sequential Hepatic Vein Embolization Following Portal Vein Embolization in Promoting Regeneration of Liver Volume and Function Before Right‐Sided Major Hepatectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Sequential hepatic vein embolization (HVE) following portal vein embolization (PVE) significantly improves both the volume and function of the future remnant liver (FRL) compared to PVE alone. In this study, the FRL regeneration rates for volume and function were markedly higher and faster in the PVE–HVE group, with no differences in surgical outcomes ...

Combination of Ethoxybenzyl‐Diethylenetriamine Pentaacetic Acid‐Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and a Serum Biomarker Is Useful in the Diagnosis of Hepatic Sinusoidal Disorder After Chemotherapy Treatment

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ROC analyses of APRI score, EOB‐MRI, and a combination of EOB‐MRI and APRI score for blue liver. ABSTRACT Aim Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), also known as “blue liver (BL),” is a common hepatic injury following oxaliplatin‐based chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).

Facts and Misfacts on D‐Dimer Testing. Consensus Guidance From the Italian Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (SISET)

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT D‐dimer defines degradation products derived from the proteolysis mediated by plasmin on cross‐linked fibrin. The evidence‐based use of D‐dimer in some conditions has been consolidated. Currently, however, there is an entrenched prescription of D‐dimer testing to screen otherwise healthy subjects that may induce prescribing physicians to start

Risk of venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction associated with factor V Leiden and prothrombin mutations and blood type

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2013
Background: ABO blood type locus has been reported to be an important genetic determinant of venous and arterial thrombosis in genome-wide association studies. We tested the hypothesis that ABO blood type alone and in combination with mutations in factor

Antiphospholipid Syndrome: An Antibody‐Mediated Disease With Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune thromboinflammatory disease characterized by vascular thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and other manifestations driven by antiphospholipid autoantibodies. In this review, we present a clinical case that illustrates some diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in managing severe, relapsing APS ...

Prognostic value of lupus anticoagulant and anti‐β2 glycoprotein I antibody in adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective International criteria for antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) include lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin (aCL) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM, and anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I (β2GPI) IgG and IgM. However, evidence supporting their prognostic value or treatment efficacy in improving live birth rates is limited.

A viable mouse model of factor X deficiency provides evidence for maternal transfer of factor X. [PDF]

, 2008
BackgroundActivated factor X (FXa) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease that plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation by converting prothrombin to thrombin. There are no reports of humans with complete deficiency of FX, and knockout of murine F10 is
