COVID-19 and post-COVID (long COVID) are associated with thromboembolic complications; however, it is still not clear whether platelets play a leading role in this phenomenon. The platelet hyperreactivity could result from the direct interaction between platelets and viral elements or the response to inflammatory and prothrombotic factors released from blood and vessel cells following infection. The existing literature does not provide clear-cut answers, as the results determining platelet status vary according to methodology.

Background: Systemic thromboxane A generation, which is readily assessed by quantifying thromboxane B metabolites (TXB-M) in the urine, is associated with impaired cardiac performance and mortality in aspirin (ASA) users with heart failure (HF).
Objectives: This study sought to determine the association of urinary TXB-M with the risk of developing HF in individuals without prior history of HF and with normal left ventricular function irrespective of ASA use.
Methods: Urine TXB-M were measured by immunoassay and adjusted to urine concentration and renal function (TXB-M) in 2,611 Framingham Heart Study participants (54.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a devastating hemolytic disease, marked by recurring bouts of painful vaso-occlusion, leading to tissue damage from ischemia/reperfusion pathophysiology. Central to this process are oxidative stress, endothelial cell activation, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction. The endothelium exhibits a pro-inflammatory, pro-coagulant, and enhanced permeability phenotype.

Background And Objectives: The most widely used method of platelet cryopreservation requires the addition of 5%-6% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), followed by its pre-freeze removal via centrifugation, to minimize toxicity. However, this adds complexity to the pre-freeze and post-thaw processing. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to simplify platelet cryopreservation by reducing the DMSO concentration and omitting the requirement for pre-transfusion removal.
