Context.—: Activated clotting time (ACT) is useful for monitoring heparin therapy in neurointerventional radiology (NIR). We previously used the Hemochron Signature Elite instrument for measuring ACT in NIR.

This study compared the efficacy of therapeutic anticoagulation guided by anti-Xa levels vs. a D-dimer-based protocol in ICU patients with COVID-19. Given the heightened risk of thrombosis despite anticoagulation therapy in some cases, we hypothesised that anti-Xa measurement improves anticoagulation effectiveness and clinical outcomes in this population.

Background: After cardiac surgery, complete heparin reversal with protamine is essential. Accordingly, there is a need for an accurate and precise point-of-care device to detect possible residual heparin after protamine administration.
Objectives: To compare two different activated clotting time (ACT) tests and thromboelastometry in detecting postprotamine heparin activity after cardiac surgery.

Factor H (FH) is a crucial complement regulator that prevents complement-mediated injury to healthy cells and tissues. This regulatory function can be disrupted by Factor H autoantibodies (FHAA), which then leads to diseases such as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) and C3 Glomerulopathy (C3G). In pediatric aHUS, the FHAA incidence is ~10-15%, although in the Indian population, it rises to ~50%.

Background: Cardiac surgery patients are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Prevention is the most critical strategy to reduce VTE-associated morbidity and death. However, there is a lack of data on the optimal approach to VTE prophylaxis in this population of high-risk patients.
