AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied antibodies against purified protein C in serum samples from 108 SLE patients, finding them in 12 cases.
- The presence of these antibodies did not correlate with deficiencies in either the amount of protein C or its functioning in the patients.
- Out of the patients, 6 exhibited antigenic deficiencies while 17 showed functional deficiencies in protein C.
Article Abstract
Antibodies directed to immunopurified coagulation protein C (PC) were investigated in serum samples from 108 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and found in 12 of them. However, their presence was not associated with antigenic or functional deficiencies of PC, which were documented in 6 and 17 patients, respectively.

A systematic review on the influence of coagulopathy and immune activation on New Onset Atrial Fibrillation in patients with sepsis.

Introduction: New Onset Atrial Fibrillation (NOAF) is the most common arrhythmia in intensive care. Complications of NOAF include thromboembolic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, which contribute to a greater risk of mortality. Inflammatory and coagulation biomarkers in sepsis are thought to be associated with NOAF development.

Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

Background: The D-dimer to lymphocyte ratio (DLR), a novel inflammatory biomarker, had been shown to be related to adverse outcomes in patients with various diseases. However, there was limited research on the relationship between the DLR and adverse outcomes in patients with infectious diseases, particularly those with sepsis. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between the DLR and in hospital all-cause mortality in elderly patients with sepsis.

Background: Inflammation is a driver of thrombosis, but the phenomenon of thromboinflammation has been defined only recently, bringing together the multiple pathways involved. models can support the development of new therapeutics targeting the endothelium and also assess the existing immunomodulatory drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine, in modulating the inflammation-driven endothelial prothrombotic phenotype.
Objectives: To develop a model for thrombin generation (TG) on the surface of human endothelial cells (ECs) to assess pro/antithrombotic properties in response to inflammation.
Exploring the anti-inflammatory potential of vitamin D in cardiometabolic diseases.

The prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases is rising, and this is fuelled by inflammation, which tends to be worse in individuals with vitamin D (VD) deficiency. While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory interventions are available, they present with coagulation events. Hence, alternative therapy in the form of VD supplements is gaining research interest.
