Background: After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) according to The Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria have increased risk for ischemic complications. The underlying cause is not well documented. The aim of this study was to assess the ischemic risk among ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients classified as HBR according to the ARC-HBR and to identify individual risk factors.

Most Kunitz inhibitors exhibit serine protease inhibitory activity, but limited information is available on the regulation of platelet function. Herein, we report the purification and characterization of a novel single Kunitz domain inhibitor (Sibanin) from the salivary glands of the black fly Simulium bannaense. Recombinant Sibanin prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time, and exhibited high-affinity binding to FXa and elastase with a KD of 5.

Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have high rates of gastrointestinal bleeding due to several risk factors including platelet dysfunction, comorbid illness, and use of antiplatelet medications. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) reduce gastrointestinal bleeding and are recommended for high-risk patients such as those prescribed dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). Whether inappropriate duration of DAPT therapy and/or lack of appropriate PPI use contribute to the known elevated risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in hemodialysis patients is not known.

Background: In patients with sepsis, platelets are activated and adhere to neutrophils, forming platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) that lead to the development of MODS. ARDS is one of the main manifestations of septic MODS. We designed this study to explore the effects of different anti-plate therapy drugs on platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation in the early stage of septic ARDS.
