Early in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we compared transcriptome data from hospitalized COVID-19 patients and control patients without COVID-19. We found changes in procoagulant and fibrinolytic gene expression in the lungs of COVID-19 patients (Mast et al., 2021). These findings have been challenged based on issues with the samples (Fitzgerald and Jamieson, 2022). We have revisited our previous analyses in the light of this challenge and find that these new analyses support our original conclusions.

Unlabelled: Chronic back pain (CBP) is the leading cause of disability affecting 1 in 10 people worldwide. Symptoms are marked by persistent lower back pain, reduced mobility, and heightened cold sensitivity. Here, we utilize a mouse model of CBP induced by injecting urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), a proinflammatory agent in the fibrinolytic pathway, between the L2/L3 lumbar vertebrae.

Introduction: Maintaining the balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors is essential for effective haemostasis. Emerging evidence suggests a modulation of bleeding tendency by factors in the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic systems.
Aim: This study investigates the clinical and laboratory characteristics of a family with combined von Willebrand disease (VWD) and antithrombin (AT) deficiency.

Article Synopsis
- Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) has a high mortality rate, particularly due to right heart failure in intermediate to high-risk patients, with current guidelines advocating for thrombolytic therapy in high-risk cases.
- Despite the recommendations, thrombolytic therapy is not commonly used due to risks like intracranial hemorrhage, and there's still uncertainty about the best treatment for intermediate-risk patients.
- New endovascular interventions, such as various types of thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, show promise in improving heart function and reducing bleeding risks, prompting future research to better identify patients who would benefit from these treatments and enhance long-term outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis features an unbalanced fibrinolytic system, with Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) showing both anti-fibrotic and pro-fibrotic tendencies depending on the organ.
- This study explored how curcumin influences tissue remodeling related to PAI-1 in lung fibrosis, utilizing both in vitro (NIH3T3 fibroblasts) and in vivo (C57BL/6 mice) approaches.
- Results indicated that curcumin treatment inhibited the elevated expression of collagen, fibronectin, MMP-2, and MMP-9, ultimately reducing pulmonary fibrosis and preventing thickening of the alveolar septum.
