Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious societal concern and is considered a major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. Identifying shared pathological mediators that contribute to the progression of AD following TBI may allow therapeutic targeting to reduce the likelihood of developing AD following TBI. Cerebrovascular dysfunction is present in both AD and TBI, and thrombin has been implicated as a mediator of cerebrovascular dysfunction and inflammation.

Background: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and its formation and release, known as NETosis, may play a role in the initiation of thrombin generation (TG) in trauma. The objective of this study was to assess whether trauma patients, who develop symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE), have increased levels of plasma citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3) and accelerated TG kinetics.
Methods: Patients presenting to a Level I Trauma Center as trauma activations had samples collected within 12 hours of time of injury (TOI), alongside healthy volunteers (HV).

Introduction: Cardiogenic arterial thromboembolism (CATE) is a life-threatening complication of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with a high mortality rate. As the primary responders in hemostasis, platelets play a crucial role in the progression of CATE. Procoagulant platelets are a subpopulation of activated platelets that facilitate thrombin generation to strengthen thrombus structure.

Objectives: To assess the effect of treatment on haemostatic parameters in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed RA started methotrexate and were randomised to additional conventional treatment, certolizumab pegol, abatacept or tocilizumab. Several biomarkers for haemostasis were analysed including parameters of the two global haemostatic assays-overall haemostatic potential (OHP) and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), as well as single haemostatic factors-fibrinogen, prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), D-dimer, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and clot lysis time (CLT) in 24 patients at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks after the start of the treatment.

Mathematical models of thrombin generation (TG) that have been developed are based on a systems biology approach. Although this approach provides important information about the coagulation system, its clinical applicability is limited by its complexity and number of input variables required. The aim of this study was to develop a semimechanistic model able to describe TG in trauma and control patients.
