Nurses' Performance Regarding Patients Undergoing Therapeutic Plasma Exchange [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Health Care
Background: Therapeutic plasma exchange is a procedure which removes plasma that contains circulating pathogenic substances, such as auto reactive antibodies, immune complexes, paraproteins, lipoproteins, inflammatory mediators like cytokines and return ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Successful therapeutic plasma exchange in cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia in patient with disseminated tuberculosis

Reumatismo, 2021
An association of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with disseminated tuberculosis is an exceedingly rare entity. We describe herein a case of cold hemolytic autoimmune anemia associated with miliary tuberculosis resolved with blood transfusions, therapeutic ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Adverse effects of intermittent flow therapeutic plasmapheresis in neurology patients in a resource constrained setting

Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2019
Introduction: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) aims at removing harmful substances from patient's plasma. It has become a treatment option in a variety of neurological disorders with good outcome.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Use of plasma exchange as therapeutic tool in clinical practice [PDF]

Farmacia Hospitalaria, 2018
Objective: To descrive the use of therapeutic plasma exchange in several pathologies and its adjustment to international reference guides. Method: Observational, descriptive, retrospective study, of all the patients that received plasmapheresis between

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Plasma Exchange in Patients With Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019: A Single-Center Experience

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
IMPORTANCE:. Recent evidence suggests a multilevel inflammatory syndrome as a driving factor in some of the most severely ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients with overlapping features to other hyperinflammatory or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, plasma
