Clinically significant non-major depression has been underinvestigated, despite its high prevalence and public health impact. Although there is increasing recognition of the importance of subsyndromal forms of depression, their nosologic boundaries and neurobiologic mechanisms remain largely unknown. This review discusses the literature pertaining to the current concepts, phenomenology, neurobiology, and treatment approaches for geriatric non-major clinically significant depression. The authors examine the similarities and differences between various subtypes of depressive disorders, and compare non-major clinically significant depression in the elderly with non-geriatric adult populations. The authors draw conclusions from the published literature and present clinical criteria for the diagnosis of clinically significant non-major depression in the elderly.

Limited available evidence comparing DOACs with warfarin suggests efficacy and safety of DOACs for CVT. We aimed to evaluate whether a specific DOAC is preferred for the treatment of CVT. This retrospective cohort study included adult patients with CVTs between September 2018 and September 2022 treated with a DOAC.

The study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in outpatient settings compared to inpatient treatment.
Methods: A propensity score-matched comparison with a historical inpatient population was performed based on a retrospective analysis of patients with deep vein thrombosis and without pulmonary embolism treated as outpatients with oral rivaroxaban.

A DOAC concentration threshold above which an impact on surgical hemostasis starts to occur is unknown. Thrombin generation assays (TGAs) provide a measure of the coagulation phenotype. This study aimed to determine whether preoperative TGA parameters are associated with postoperative bleeding, and whether this is partly due to residual DOAC levels.

Background: Despite the morbidity and mortality of venous thromboembolism, there is little evidence to guide postpartum thromboprophylaxis in patients at moderate risk. We aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a double-blind, randomised trial of aspirin versus placebo in postpartum individuals with two or more venous thromboembolism risk factors, mild-to-moderate thrombophilia, or both.
Methods: The pilot PARTUM trial, a multi-national, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, was conducted in seven centres across Canada, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands.
