Blood coagulation test abnormalities in trauma patients detected by sonorheometry: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Traumatic hemorrhage guidelines include point-of-care viscoelastic tests as a standard of care. Quantra (Hemosonics) is a device based on sonic estimation of elasticity via resonance (SEER) sonorheometry to assess whole blood clot formation.

Objectives: Our study aimed to assess the ability of an early SEER evaluation to detect blood coagulation test abnormalities in trauma patients.

Quiz regarding the cytological analysis of peritoneal effusion in a patient with a history of myeloproliferative neoplasm.

Relevance of systematic anti-nuclear antibodies testing after obstetrical complications.

Adverses pregnancy outcomes are commonly encountered with autoimmune disease (AID). Although anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) are often present several years before AID diagnosis, the importance of ANA testing has not been evaluated in this context. The objective of this study was to determine if ANA discovery after obstetrical complications is associated with a diagnosis of AID and improves the prognosis of subsequent pregnancies.

Mathematical modeling of peripheral blood neutrophil kinetics to predict CLAD after lung transplantation.

Background: The presence of neutrophils in the lung was identified as a factor associated with CLAD but requires invasive samples. The aim of this study was to assess the kinetics of peripheral blood neutrophils after lung transplantation as early predictor of CLAD.

Methods: We retrospectively included all recipients transplanted in our center between 2009 and 2014.
