To review the efficacy and safety of glucocorticoids combined with different regimens for treating severe immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Eighty-five severe ITP patients from 2 tertiary hospitals treated with glucocorticoids were enrolled from January 2018 to May 2019 and divided into 4 treatment groups: group A (treated with glucocorticoids), group B (glucocorticoids plus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg)), group C (glucocorticoids plus recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO)), and group D (glucocorticoids plus IVIg and rhTPO). Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 19.0 software. Early responses and response maintenance were assessed at 14 days and 1 month after treatment. Groups B, C and D had higher complete response (CR) and overall response (OR) rates than group A (P < 0.05). Adverse reaction incidences were not significantly different among all groups (P > 0.05). Severe ITP patients who received glucocorticoids with IVIg and rhTPO had higher CRs and ORs at the platelet level, and no significant adverse reactions were observed. Glucocorticoids combined with different regimens had different clinical efficacies for treating severe ITP.

Human platelet antigens (HPAs) play a clinically significant role in alloimmunization and the development of immune-mediated disorders such as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT), and post-transfusion purpura (PTP). Understanding the genetic profiles of HPAs is critical for preventing and treating these conditions. Given the limitations of serological methods in determining HPA genotypes, this study aims to investigate the association between the genotypes of HPA1, HPA2, HPA3, HPA4, and HPA15 antigens and autoimmune thrombocytopenia in Lorestan Province, utilizing the PCR-SSP method.

Unlabelled: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disorder characterized by low platelet counts with increased risk of bleeding. In particular, ITP induced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been increasingly reported. Since immunosuppressive regimens in organ transplantation are often the primary cause of increased risk of infection, ITP following solid organ transplantation has occasionally been observed.

Three are the main disorders associated with this condition: gestational thrombocytopenia (GT), immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and inherited thrombocytopenias (ITs). Reaching the correct diagnosis of this condition has relevant therapeutic and outcome implications.

There is increasing interest in monitoring pressure from the injured spinal cord to guide the management of patients with acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI). This is analogous to monitoring intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Here, we explore key concepts in this field and novel therapies that are emerging from these ideas.

Musculoskeletal injuries during the "Initial Training Phase" (ITP) are a major medical problem faced by law enforcement agencies worldwide. Aiming to develop an injury prevention strategy, we examined the incidence, type, associated factors, and severity of injuries and secondarily tracked their evolution over time by batches in a police academy. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using prospectively collected injury data on 979 newly recruited male police cadets enrolled in eight batches between 2015 and 2023.
