Background: The development of anticoagulants that provide antithrombotic efficacy without a concomitant bleeding risk remains an unmet clinical need in thrombosis. Although direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have a reduced incidence of major bleeding compared with warfarin, they still carry a bleeding risk, resulting in a suboptimal therapeutic index. Epidemiologic data suggest that inhibiting activated factor XI (FXIa) may offer an improved safety profile with respect to bleeding risk compared with current-generation DOACs.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the coagulation status of dogs with canine parvoviral enteritis (CPE), a severe condition that can lead to high mortality due to systemic inflammation and multi-organ dysfunction.
  • It involved 21 dogs diagnosed with CPE and 5 healthy controls, using thromboelastography (TEG) to analyze coagulation, showing significant differences in reaction times and clot dissolution rates.
  • The findings suggest that TEG-derived velocity curve (v-curve) parameters could be a better method to assess coagulation in CPE cases, offering new insights for diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Drugs targeting factor XI may offer an alternative to heparin for preventing blood clotting in extracorporeal circulation. We investigated the effects of abelacimab, a novel monoclonal antibody targeting factor XI. We collected whole blood samples into two bags (each 240 ml, control group: enoxaparin 1.

Background: Congenital dysfibrinogenemia is characterized by reduced fibrinogen activity, but normal immunoreactive fibrinogen levels. Here, we present a novel case with an elevated risk of thrombosis.

Methods: Coagulation assays, gene analysis, in silico tools, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), fibrin polymerization, thrombin generation assay, and electron microscopy scanning were utilized to elucidate the pathogenic mechanism.

Coagulopathy and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are complexly intertwined. In isolated TBI, coagulopathy may contribute to hemorrhagic lesion development, progression, or recurrence, as it may lead to a particular pattern of coagulopathy called TBI-induced coagulopathy (TBI-IC). We performed a retrospective and descriptive evaluation of 63 patients admitted to the Emergency Clinical Hospital Bucharest with the diagnosis of moderate/severe brain injury.
