Background: Myelofibrosis (MF) is a clonal haematopoietic disease, with median overall survival for patients with primary MF only 6.5 years. The most frequent gene mutation found in patients is JAK2, causing constitutive activation of the kinase and activation of downstream signalling.

Multiple myeloma (MM), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and colorectal adenocarcinoma (CA) are three distinct diseases. The co-occurrence of MM, ET, and CA in a single patient is exceedingly rare. Our study presents a remarkable case involving a 75-year-old patient who was simultaneously diagnosed with these three diseases.

Background And Aims: We assessed clinical, procoagulant and genetic risk factors and clinical outcomes in dabigatran-treated patients with non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic portal vein thrombosis (PVT).
Methods: Patients with a new diagnosis of non-tumoural acute and acute-on-chronic PVT between January 2021 and January 2024 (aged ≥ 18 years) in those without/with cirrhosis (Child-Pugh (CP)-A/B/C ≤ 10) were started on dabigatran and followed and compared with those on vitamin K antagonist (VKA) and untreated individuals.
Results: Dabigatran was prescribed in 119 patients with PVT type 1 (61, 51.

Background: The risk of thrombosis and bleeding in myelofibrosis (MF) has been historically underappreciated. We sought to investigate potential molecular and clinical risk factors for venous (VTE) and arterial (ATE) thrombotic events as well as bleeding episodes.
Methods: Data from 246 consecutive MF patients were analyzed.

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a clonal myeloid neoplasm characterized by bone marrow fibrosis, splenomegaly, and disease-associated symptoms, as well as increased mortality, due to thrombosis, severe bleeding, infections, or progression to acute leukemia. Currently, the management of MF patients is tailored according to risk scores, with higher-risk (intermediate-2 and high-risk) patients being assessed for allogeneic stem cell transplantation, which remains the only potentially curative treatment option. On the other hand, lower risk (low- and intermediate-1 risk) patients who are symptomatic may be treated with JAK inhibitors or other drugs.
