Background: Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) is associated with high risk of mortality or disability. To date, up to 25% of HSs are associated with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. Early hemostatic therapy and correction of effect of antithrombotic drugs in patients with HS significantly reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. The latest international guidelines on this issue were presented almost 10 years ago.

Material And Methods: In accordance with the PRISMA recommendations, we reviewed the PubMed, eLibrary and UpToDate databases and identified 137 articles. Of these, 52 were enrolled as the most relevant.

Results And Discussion: Regarding correction of the effect of indirect anticoagulants, various researchers discuss the possibility of either individual dosing or injection of a fixed dose of 4- or 3-factor prothrombin complex (1000-2000 IU regardless of body weight and international normalized ratio). To correct the effect of antiplatelet agents, platelet transfusion and desmopressin are proposed. There is currently no evidence of safety and effectiveness of both methods in patients with HS.

Conclusion: The optimal drug for correction of the effect of indirect anticoagulants is 4- or 3-factor prothrombin complex. In the last case, it is necessary to administer factor VIIa or fresh frozen plasma, as well as parenteral form of phytomenadione (vitamin K) in all cases. The issue of correction of the effects of antiplatelet agents remains open. Regular analysis of available data with updating the guidelines for correction of the effect of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents in HS is necessary.

Inoculation of Bothrops jararaca snake venom (BjV) induces thrombocytopenia in humans and various animal species. Although several BjV toxins acting on hemostasis have been well characterized in vitro, it is not known which one is responsible for inducing thrombocytopenia in vivo. In previous studies, we showed that BjV incubated with metalloproteinase or serine proteinase inhibitors and/or anti-botrocetin antibodies still induced thrombocytopenia in rats and mice.

Despite the variety of proposed solutions, anastomotic leakage is still a critical complication after colorectal surgery, which causes increased clinical mortality and morbidity. By enhancing microcirculation in the colonic mucosa, the use of Iloprost (Ilo) has shown promising results for the healing of anastomosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Ilo-impregnated Polycaprolactone:Gelatin electrospun membranes (PCL/Gel/Ilo) on anastomosis repair and intra-abdominal adhesion behavior in the Rat colon.

Prolonged use of antiretroviral agents has been clearly associated with nephrotoxicity, suggesting deterioration of renal function in patients receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART). The present study was designed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of resveratrol (RV) in the treatment toxins-induced renal impairment. Twenty-four adult male Wistar rats weighing 70-90 g were divided into four groups and subjected to the following treatments: Control A (distilled water), B (HAART), C (RV-2.

Autophagy, a crucial process in cancer, is closely intertwined with both tumor progression and drug resistance development. However, existing methods used to assess autophagy activity often pose invasiveness and time-related constraints, limiting their applicability in preclinical drug investigations. In this study, we developed a non-invasive autophagy detection system (NIADS-autophagy, also called G-cleave LC3B biosensor) by integrating a split-luciferase-based biosensor with an LC3B cleavage sequence, which swiftly identified classic autophagic triggers, such as Earle's Balanced Salt Solution and serum deprivation, through protease-mediated degradation pathways.

The natural history of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has changed after the introduction of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs). Screening programs have been ongoing to reach the World Health Organisation's goal of HCV elimination by 2030, and most infected people are eligible for treatment. Given the increased cardiovascular risk in people with HCV infection and the metabolic pathways of DAAs, it is not uncommon to face the issue of drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
