Long-term follow-up after successful treatment of vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia.

Background: Cases of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca) vaccinated patients with thrombocytopenia, elevated D-dimer, and elevated platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibody levels with- and without thrombosis have been reported. No recommendations regarding the duration of anticoagulation have been made, because data on the long-term course beyond the first weeks is lacking.

Objective: To report on the treatment, medical course, and longitudinal follow-up of laboratory parameters in patients with vaccine-induced prothrombotic immune thrombocytopenia (VIPIT).

The influence of depression on processing speed and executive function in nondemented subjects aged 75.

We investigated the influence of depression on processing speed and executive function in subjects who did not develop dementia during the following 5 years to examine whether these neuropsychological dysfunctions are due to depression or are influenced by other causes (e.g.
