Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
This overview summarizes the history of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) from its initial recognition in 1924 as a most often fatal disease to the discovery in 1997 of ADAMTS-13 deficiency as a major risk factor for acute disease manifestation.

Background Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is still associated with a 10–20% death rate. It has still not been possible to clearly identify early prognostic factors of death.

Characterization of the complications associated with plasma exchange for thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura and related thrombotic microangiopathic anaemias: a single institution experience. [PDF]
Plasma exchange (PEX) is a life-saving therapeutic procedure in patients with thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura (TTP) and other thrombotic microangiopathic anaemias (TMAs). However, it may be associated with significant complications, exacerbating the

Prognostic factors in thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare thrombotic microangiopathy with no standardized prognostic model to predict mortality. The aim of the study is to determine parameters associated with TTP-related mortality.

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

Caplacizumab for Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
BACKGROUND Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is caused by aggregation of platelets on ultralarge von Willebrand factor multimers. This microvascular thrombosis causes multiorgan ischemia with potentially life-threatening complications ...

A case of refractory thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura treated with plasmapheresis and rituximab [PDF]
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare, life-threatening disorder with no prevalence or incidence studies in sub-Saharan Africa. Acquired TTP has several causes, all of which lead to decreased activity of von Willebrand factor cleaving ...

Neural Feature Selection for Learning to Rank [PDF]
LEarning TO Rank (LETOR) is a research area in the field of Information Retrieval (IR) where machine learning models are employed to rank a set of items. In the past few years, neural LETOR approaches have become a competitive alternative to traditional ones like LambdaMART.
