Reversibility of acrocyanosis and improvement of capillaroscopic pattern in a patient with polycythemia vera treated with ruxolitinib: a case report.

This case report describes the clinical course of a 78-year-old patient diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV), who presented with pronounced acrocyanosis of the hands in 2021. The patient was treated with hydroxyurea (oncocarbide), and nailfold capillaroscopy revealed an "abnormal pattern" characterized by pronounced architectural disarray and capillary tortuosity, which is uncommon in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In 2023, owing to suboptimal symptom management and hematological side effects, the treatment was switched to ruxolitinib, which led to significant clinical improvements by 2024, including near-complete resolution of acrocyanosis and substantial improvement in capillaroscopic abnormalities, with only residual capillary tortuosity noted.

There is a growing interest for quantification of drugs in capillary blood. Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is a biomarker for alcohol intake measured in whole blood, thus making it a candidate for capillary sampling. Our laboratory has been running a method for PEth quantification in venous blood since 2016 and we aimed to expand this method to also include capillary dried blood spot (DBS) samples.

In most cases, the diagnosis of diabetes in animal models is based solely on blood glucose levels. While hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is widely used in the diagnosis of diabetes in humans, it is rarely measured in mice in diabetes research. This is thought to be because there are no established reference values for mouse HbA1c, as well as the fact that there are very few reports on the variability and reproducibility of measurements taken using different devices.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of Fanconi anemia (FA) on retinal and choroidal microvasculature using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA).
Design: Cohort study with age-matched controls.
Subjects And Participants: This study included 11 eyes from 11 patients diagnosed with FA and 12 eyes from 12 age-matched healthy controls.

DNA and RNA markers are significant in forensic practices, such as individual and body fluid identification. However, forensic DNA and RNA markers were separately analyzed in most forensic experiments, which resulted in large amounts of sample consumption, complex procedures, and weak inter-evidence correlation. While several integrated methods based on capillary electrophoresis and next-generation sequencing technologies were reported, integrated procedures were mostly on nucleic acid co-extraction, co-electrophoresis, or co-sequencing, and the number and type of markers co-tested were limited.
