Graves disease-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019
Background Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is an autoimmune disease that carries a high mortality. Very few case reports in the literature have described a relationship between Graves disease and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. We present a case

Measurement of Active Thrombin Bound to Circulating D‐Dimers as a Sensitive Biomarker for Prothrombotic Conditions

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Scheme of preparation of D‐dimers and evaluation of D‐dimer‐bound thrombin activity. Thrombin bound to fibrin participates in ongoing fibrinogen transformation and its inhibition is impeded. Our detection system may aid in identifying patients at risk of recurrent thrombotic events or complications, regardless of the origin of the acute health problem.

Platelet Apoptosis in Adult Immune Thrombocytopenia: Insights into the Mechanism of Damage Triggered by Auto-antibodies [PDF]

, 2016
Mechanisms leading to decreased platelet count in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are heterogeneous. This study describes increased platelet apoptosis involving loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), caspase 3 activation (aCasp3) and ...

Vitamin B12 deficiency-induced pseudothrombotic microangiopathy without macrocytosis presenting with acute renal failure: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2018
Background Vitamin B12 deficiency-induced thrombotic microangiopathy, known as pseudothrombotic microangiopathy, is a rare condition which resembles the clinical features of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura but requires a markedly different treatment.

The “5L” framework of diagnostic reasoning: A stepwise scaffold to support clinician educators

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Diagnostic reasoning (DR) is a core clinical skill, yet its teaching remains variable. We introduce the “5L” framework as a bedside teaching scaffold that gives educators and learners a shared, stepwise set of prompts for DR during individual encounters. By asking, “What's Lethal? What's Likely? What's Logical? What's Lurking?
