Daratumumab is een middel dat zich richt op het eiwit CD38, vooral sterk aanwezig in myeloom cellen. Door zich te binden aan het eiwit zorgt daratumumab ervoor dat het eigen immuunsysteem wordt geactiveerd en het multipel myeloom beter kan worden bestreden. In dit onderzoek werd gekeken wat het effect is van daratumumab in combinatie met […]

Platelet-rich microvascular thrombi are common in severe COVID-19. Endogenous nitric oxide (NO)-signaling limits thrombus formation and previously we identified platelet subpopulations with a differential ability to produce NO based on the presence or absence of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). eNOS expression is counter-regulated by cytokines, and COVID-19-associated immune/inflammatory responses may affect the transcriptome profile of megakaryocytes and their platelet progeny.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare complication of heparin exposure with potential for significant morbidity and mortality. Early identification and treatment can prevent catastrophic thrombosis. Herein, we report the performance of a platelet count-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) where providers received a notification when a patient had a platelet count decline of ?50?%. In the 90-day study period, the CDSS sent 302 notifications on 270 patients. Notifications were frequently inappropriate; 25?% had an expected platelet count decline (organ donation, stem cell transplant), an inaccurate count, or no heparin exposure.
