Acquired factor V inhibitor in a case of pediatric venous thrombosis.

Res Pract Thromb Haemost

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Hematology, Innovative Hematology, Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.

Background: The development of acquired factor (F)V with inhibitor (AFVwI) is rare, resulting mainly in bleeding complications, although sporadic cases of thrombosis in adults have been reported.

Key Clinical Question: How do you diagnose and manage a pediatric case of acute deep venous thrombosis associated with the concurrent finding of AFVwI?

Clinical Approach: A 13-year-old female with Crohn's Disease and May-Thurner anatomy developed extensive deep venous thrombosis of the left lower extremity, complicated by the finding of AFVwI, discovered during the evaluation of a prolonged prothrombin time and a low FV activity. Anticoagulation was initiated with low-molecular-weight heparin followed by a direct oral anticoagulant, rivaroxaban, without any complications.

Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a poor prognostic factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, highlighting the need for an oral drug delivery system that combines convenience, simplicity, biosafety, and improved patient compliance. Leveraging the unique anatomy of the portal vein and insights from single-cell RNA sequencing of the PVTT tumor microenvironment, we developed oral pellets using CaCO@PDA nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulating both doxorubicin hydrochloride and low molecular weight heparin. These NPs target the tumor thrombus microenvironment, aiming to break down the thrombus barrier and turn the challenge of portal vein blockage into an advantage by enhancing drug delivery efficiency through oral administration.

Efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in preventing venous thromboembolism in postoperative patients with gynecological malignancies: protocol for a randomised controlled open-label trial (G-alfalfa trial).

BMJ Open

December 2024

Department of Pharmacy, Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital College of Clinical Medicine for Obstetric & Gynecology and Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China

Introduction: Compared with the guideline-recommended use of low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for 28 days to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after cytoreductive surgery, oral rivaroxaban avoids the pain and inconvenience of daily injections and reduces medical expenses. The proposed randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin in preventing VTE in patients after surgery for gynaecological malignancies and to provide a reference for clinical medication prevention.

Methods And Analysis: This is a single-centre, randomised, controlled, open-label and assessor-blind clinical trial.

ADAMTS13 Improves Hepatic Platelet Accumulation in Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids-induced Liver Injury.

J Clin Transl Hepatol

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Background And Aims: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), widely distributed in plants, are known to induce liver failure. Hepatic platelet accumulation has been reported during the progression of PA-induced liver injury (PA-ILI). This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying platelet accumulation in PA-ILI.

Management of post-injury anticoagulation in the traumatic brain injury patient: A scoping review.

Injury

January 2025

Washington University School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, Section of Acute and Critical Care Surgery, USA. Electronic address:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among trauma patients. The care of these patients continues to be a complex endeavor with prevention of associated complications, often requiring as much attention as that of the treatment of the primary injury. Paramount among these are venous thromboembolic events (VTE) due to their high incidence, additive effect on the risk of morbidity and mortality, and the careful balance that must be utilized in their diagnosis and treatment to prevent progression of the brain injury itself.
