Article Synopsis
- The study examines the prevalence and predictors of cerebral lesions in patients with immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) during their acute phases.
- One-third of the 73 patients analyzed showed acute ischemic lesions on MRI, and neurological symptoms were not significantly different between iTTP and HUS cases.
- Key factors predicting these lesions included the presence of old infarcts, elevated blood pulse pressure, and a diagnosis of iTTP, indicating potential areas for enhanced treatment approaches.*
This phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the new hypomethylating agent guadecitabine (n = 408) vs a preselected treatment choice (TC; n = 407) of azacitidine, decitabine, or low-dose cytarabine in patients with acute myeloid leukemia unfit to receive intensive induction chemotherapy. Half of the patients (50%) had poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (2-3). The coprimary end points were complete remission (19% and 17% of patients for guadecitabine and TC, respectively [stratified P = .

Methods: Using a national cohort of iTTP ( = 368), Shigatoxin-induced hemolytic uremic syndrome ( = 86), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome ( = 84), and hypertension-related thrombotic microangiopathy ( = 25), we sought to compare the cohort's blood pressure profile to assess its impact on prognosis and diagnostic performances.
Results: Patients with iTTP had lower blood pressure than patients with other TMAs, systolic (130 [interquartile range (IQR) 118-143] vs 161 [IQR 142-180] mmHg) and diastolic (76 [IQR 69-83] vs 92 [IQR 79-105] mmHg, both < 0.
