Background: High on-treatment platelet reactivity has been reported in 30% of patients on clopidogrel and 50% in elderly patients; however, little is known about the mechanisms of this biological resistance. One hypothesis is an age-related impaired hepatic metabolism of the prodrug clopidogrel, leading to a lower formation of its active metabolite (clopidogrel-AM).
Objectives: To compare the levels of clopidogrel-AM formed using "old" and "young" human liver microsomes (HLMs) and their consequences on platelet functions.
Methods: We developed an model using "old" (73.6 ± 2.3 years) and "young" (51.2 ± 8.5 years) HLMs, added to platelet-rich plasma from 21 healthy donors with or without clopidogrel (50 μM) and incubated at 37 °C for 30 (T30) and 45 minutes (T45). Clopidogrel-AM was quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry method. Platelet aggregation was performed by light transmission aggregometry.
Results: The generation of clopidogrel-AM increased over time and reached concentrations comparable with those reported in treated patients. At T30, mean clopidogrel-AM concentrations were significantly higher with "young" (8.56 μg/L; 95% CI, 5.87-11.24) than with "old" HLMs (7.64 μg/L; 95% CI, 5.14-10.14; = .002); and at T45, 11.40 μg/L; 95% CI (7.57-15.22) vs 10.63 μg/L, 95% CI (7.10-14.15), = .02 ( = 21). Despite a significant inhibition of platelet aggregation, no significant difference was found in light transmission aggregometry (adenosine diphosphate, 10 μM) after clopidogrel metabolism by "old" or "young" HLMs, probably because of low sensitivity of the method to small variations of clopidogrel-AM.
Conclusion: In this original model combining metabolic and functional approaches, less clopidogrel-AM was produced with HLMs from older patients. This provides support for a decreased CYP450 activity that may contribute to high on-treatment platelet reactivity in elderly patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies (CBTs) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from 2 academic centers involving patients with intermediate-risk PE from January 2020 to January 2024. Patients were divided into early (<12 hours) and delayed CBT (≥12 hours) groups.

Background: Goal-directed haemodynamic therapy (GDHT) aims to optimize haemodynamic variables. However, its effectiveness in reducing postoperative complications in major abdominal surgery, particularly when targeting both arterial pressure and flow variables, remains unclear. This meta-analysis addresses this by evaluating GDHT using uncalibrated pulse contour (uPC) methods.

Article Synopsis
- - Kalm ex L. is an evergreen shrub valuable for its methyl salicylate content and ornamental and medicinal properties, but lacks comprehensive genomic data, prompting this study.
- - Researchers conducted high-throughput sequencing to assemble the genome, obtaining 417 Mb of data with high quality (47.94 Gb) and identifying over 26,000 protein-coding genes and numerous SSRs (simple sequence repeats).
- - The study also identified thousands of transcription factors, transcription regulators, and protein kinases, while performing phylogenetic analyses to gain insights into the genetic relationships among species.

Article Synopsis
- CADe-enhanced colonoscopy shows significantly higher adenoma detection rates (ADR) and average adenomas per colonoscopy (APC) compared to conventional methods.
- While the detection of advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) per colonoscopy was similar between both methods, CADe systems had a higher ACN detection rate (ACN DR).
- The study also found that using CADe led to longer withdrawal times and more non-neoplastic polyps being removed, indicating a trade-off in procedure duration.

Background And Aims: Patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) commonly present with a significantly reduced cardiac index (CI). However, the identification of this more severe profile requires invasive hemodynamic monitoring. Whether inferior vena cava (IVC) contrast reflux, as a marker of worse right ventricular function, can predict invasive hemodynamics has not been explored.
