Neutrophils play a key role in inflammatory responses and thrombosis, but their complex interactions in disease pathogenesis are not fully understood. This review examines the multifaceted roles of neutrophils, focusing on their activation, cytokine release, and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which contribute to host defense and thrombosis. We discuss the interaction between inflammation and coagulation, the direct effect of neutrophils on thrombus stability, and their involvement in pathological thrombotic diseases. The therapeutic potential of neutrophil drug loading in the treatment of thrombosis, as well as the clinical implications and future research directions, are highlighted. The aim of this review is to gain insight into the critical neutrophil-inflammation-thrombus axis and its potential as a therapeutic target for thrombotic diseases and to suggest possible directions for neutrophil-loaded drug therapy for thrombosis.

Platelet hyperreactivity contributes significantly to thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction and stroke. While antiplatelet drugs are used, residual ischemic risk remains. Intermittent fasting (IF), a dietary pattern characterized by alternating periods of eating and fasting, has shown cardiovascular benefits, but its effect on platelet activation is unclear.

Transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage kidney disease but carries with it a non-trivial risk of post-operative complication. There is a need for a continuous, real-time, not additionally invasive method of monitoring organ perfusion. We present an approach to allograft perfusion monitoring using a human kidney model using normothermic perfusion (EVNP) and custom spectroscopic optical reflectance probes.

Background: Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) following lung transplantation (LTx) is a rare but severe complication. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, and various risk factors have been suggested. In this study, we aimed to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, identify risk factors, and assess renal, pulmonary, and overall survival of TMA in this patient group.

Introduction: Myositis is a rare extra-intestinal presentation in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and its occurrence has only been described in a few case reports. However, it is essential to consider other potential causes as patients with IBD are more susceptible to infections due to their immunocompromised status, which may also be exacerbated by immunosuppressive drugs contributing to myositis. Our case highlights the complexity and challenges in diagnosing and managing myositis in patients with IBD as well as a review of the literature.
