Mashup Score: 12Perioperative management of venous recanalization in a patient with inherited antithrombin deficiency - Case Report - 25 day(s) ago
Inherited antithrombin deficiency (ATD) is a severe thrombophilia causing venous thromboembolism, which can be complicated by post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Venous recanalization (VR), used to treat PTS, often requires a temporary withdrawal of anticoagulant therapy. In ATD patients, there is a risk of insufficient perioperative anticoagulation due to altered heparin response.

Mashup Score: 0A machine-learning approach to predict mortality due to immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura - 1 month(s) ago
Mortality due to immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) remains significant. Predicting mortality risk may potentially help individualize treatment. The French Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) Reference Score has not been externally validated in the United States. Recent advances in machine-learning technology can analyze large numbers of variables with complex interactions for the development of prediction models.

Mashup Score: 3Not so once upon a time - 1 month(s) ago
This story reflects a personal narrative of a graduate student who experienced a disturbing incident during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, shedding light on the enduring issue of racism. The author’s journey to graduate school and the challenges faced along the way provide context for the pivotal moment of racial discrimination. The narrative then shifts to the author’s decision to prioritize education over anger, highlighting the sacrifices made to protect their future as a graduate student. The incident serves as a stark reminder that, despite personal achievements and aspirations, racial prejudice persists.

Mashup Score: 28
In patients with mild type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD), treatment guidelines suggest individualization of surgical management. However, these conditional recommendations are based on very low certainty evidence due to limited data on surgical outcomes in this population.

Mashup Score: 9Should bleeding be a concern in antiphospholipid syndrome? - 2 month(s) ago
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired prothrombotic condition that requires long-term anticoagulation due to the high rate of recurrent thrombosis [1]. Besides the high thrombotic risk, the risk of bleeding complications is not negligible.

Mashup Score: 10Balancing the risks of recurrent venous thromboembolism and bleeding with extended anticoagulation: oh, for a crystal ball! - 3 month(s) ago
Deciding the duration of anticoagulation after a first venous thromboembolism (VTE) event is an everyday scenario in the clinic but one that is fraught with uncertainties (Figure). After the initial period of anticoagulation, the decision to continue anticoagulation indefinitely involves weighing risk of VTE recurrence (if anticoagulation stops) with risk of bleeding (if anticoagulation continues). In Baglin etĀ al.ās [1] landmark study, the presence or absence of provoking factors at presentation was a major determinant of risk of recurrence, with a 2-year incidence being higher after an unprovoked event (19.4%) than after surgery-related VTE (0%).
