Introduction: Factor XI/XIa (FXI/XIa) has emerged as a potential target for antithrombotic therapy, driven by preclinical evidence showing the role of FXI/XIa inhibition for preventing thrombosis without impeding hemostasis. This is particularly promising for patients at high risk of both thromboembolic events and bleeding, such as patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: We systematically searched Embase, MEDLINE, and ClinicalTrials.

Direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use has significantly increased because major medical organizations endorse their role for conditions in which anticoagulation is indicated. Owing to important pharmacokinetic properties, the use of apixaban and rivaroxaban requires careful consideration in at-risk populations such as those with kidney disease. Both apixaban and rivaroxaban undergo some degree of renal elimination, and thus total drug exposure is increased in patients with renal insufficiency and/or those undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Transcription factors play a crucial role in the biosynthesis of tanshinones, which are significant secondary metabolites derived from Salvia miltiorrhiza, commonly known as Danshen. These compounds have extensive pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effects. This review delves into the roles of various transcription factor families, such as APETALA2/ethylene response factor, basic helix-loop-helix, myeloblastosis, basic leucine zipper, and WRKY domain-binding protein, in regulating the biosynthetic pathways of tanshinones.

Dengue virus (DENV) poses a considerable threat to public health on a global scale, since about two-thirds of the world's population is currently at risk of contracting this arbovirus. Being transmitted by mosquitoes, this virus is associated with a range of illnesses and a small percentage of infected individuals might suffer from severe vascular leakage. This leakage leads to hypovolemic shock syndrome, generally known as dengue shock syndrome, organ failure, and bleeding complications.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare condition resulting from damage to the optic nerve due to craniofacial trauma. It can present as direct or indirect injuries, with mechanisms ranging from mechanical disruption by fractures in direct TON to transmitted forces causing shearing and ischemia in indirect TON. These injuries often lead to significant visual impairment or complete vision loss, requiring timely diagnosis and intervention.
