An infant with coarctation of the aorta and Williams syndrome was noted to have petechiae in cardiology clinic prior to planned surgical intervention. Workup revealed acquired von Willebrand syndrome secondary to the high shear force generated by the aortic coarctation. He was treated with intra- and postoperative Humate P; there were no postoperative bleeding complications. His acquired von Willebrand syndrome resolved postoperatively.

: A novel fixed combination of aztreonam (ATM) and avibactam (AVI) offers promising potential to treat infections with carbapenem-resistant (CRE) producing metallo-β-lactamases (MBL). This study aimed to assess the accuracy of population pharmacokinetic (PK) models for ATM-AVI in predicting in vivo concentrations in a critically ill patient with CRE infection during its first clinical use. : A 70-year-old male with septic shock due to hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) caused by MBL-producing was treated with ATM-AVI.

Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (aVWS) is a rare hematological disorder depicted by dysfunctional or deficient von Willebrand factor activity and can be associated with underlying hematological malignancies such as non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL). This case report examines a patient with aVWS secondary to NHL and highlights the challenges in managing bleeding and optimizing a patient for surgery. The case report will explore the multidisciplinary approach to recognizing aVWS, treatment modalities, and adjunctive measures to reduce bleeding risk as well as long-term management.

In more than half of the individuals with a clinically relevant bleeding tendency who are referred to hemostasis experts, no biological etiology can be found after extensive laboratory testing. These persons are diagnosed with an unexplained bleeding tendency or "bleeding disorder of unknown cause" (BDUC). The mucocutaneous bleeding phenotype of individuals with BDUC is generally comparable to that of individuals with inherited bleeding disorders such as von Willebrand disease or platelet function disorders.
