Comparison of peak serum C-reactive protein and hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with alteplase and streptokinase [PDF]
Peak serum C-reactive protein concentrations were measured in 146 patients randomized to receive streptokinase, alteplase, or a combination of streptokinase and alteplase in the GUSTO-I trial.

Abstract Human plasminogen (hPg) binding M‐protein (PAM) is a major virulence determinant of Group A Streptococcus (GAS). PAM contains irregularly spaced heptad repeats, particularly within its C‐ and D‐domains. Our recent cryo‐EM structure of PAM from GAS strain AP53 (PAMAP53) revealed that these repeats do not favor coiled‐coil formation, but instead

Dose de-escalation of intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator therapy for pleural infection. The alteplase dose assessment for Pleural infection Therapy project [PDF]
Rationale: Intrapleural therapy with a combination of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) 10 mg and DNase 5 mg administered twice daily has been shown in randomized and open-label studies to successfully manage over 90% of patients with pleural infection ...

Studies on Specificity of Streptokinase.
Summary1. Ability of SK to activate the fibrinolytic system in plasma or euglobulin fractions of various animal species has been studied. 2. Human, cat, dog and rabbit plasminogens were readily activated by SK. Pig, horse and cow plasminogens were much less readily activated.

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis:Current Status and Challenges
Our review introduces treatment strategies for short‐term, long‐term, and permanent CVT risk factors, focusing on anticoagulant selection and treatment duration. We also discuss the current status of endovascular therapy for CVT, noting that it remains a challenge due to limited evidence, and more research is needed to optimize this approach.
