Filter by:DOACs are increasingly used since 8 years. Standard coagulation tests (Prothrombin time [PT] and activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT]) from plasma samples show a high variation. Special coagulation tests like hemoclot for dabigatran and chromogenic substrate assays for Rivaroxaban, Apixaban, and Edoxaban are time-consuming and can be performed only in specialized laboratories. In specific medical situations like in patients such as emergency procedures, stroke (before starting thrombolytic therapy), trauma, general surgery or other invasive procedures, it may be necessary for medical decision making to know the presence or absence of a DOAC in patient's body fluid. Until now there is no rapid, specific and sensitive coagulation test available in the market.
This is an observational, prospective, multicenter, cohort study in patients with cardioembolic stroke and previous oral or parenteral anticoagulant therapy. Patients in which anticoagulante therapy is mantained will be compared to those in which it is interrupted, in terms of stroke or systemic embolism and haemorrhagic transformation.
Anticoagulation therapy is the most important part of the treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation. Previous studies have confirmed that both warfarin and new oral anticoagulants can effectively prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the current situation of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation is not optimistic. This project aims to explore the prevalence of inappropriate doses of anticoagulants in my country. , and the influencing factors related to such doses. By analyzing the status quo, characteristics and influencing factors, suggestions and management plans to promote rational use are put forward to provide certain guidance and help for anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. Anticoagulation with warfarin or new oral anticoagulants in patients with AF can significantly reduce thromboembolic events. However, due to the lack of bleeding risk predictors of oral anticoagulants, the bleeding risk of patients with AF cannot be accurately evaluated. The purpose of this study is to screen biomarkers that can predict bleeding in patients with AF through proteomics and metabolomics, and construct the protein metabolic network pathway of anticoagulant bleeding in patients with AF. Design: AF patients treated with oral anticoagulants were enrolled in this study. Blood samples were centrifuged and the supernatant was stored in the refrigerator at - 80 ℃. All patients were followed up for one year to determine whether bleeding occurred after oral anticoagulants. Proteomic data were obtained by LC-MS/MS Analysis-DIA platform. Metabolomic data were obtained by UPLC-QTOF/MS platform. All of the omics data were used to compare proteins/enzymes with metabolic pathways. Quantitative changes of individual metabolites and proteins were calculated and graphed using the KEGG mapping tools.
The respiratory distress that goes with COVID-19 infection has been related to a procoagulant state, with thrombosis at both venous and arterial levels, that determines hypoxia and tissue dysfunction at several organs. The main sign of this thrombotic activity seems to be the D-Dimers, that have been proposed to identify patients with poor prognosis at an early stage. Knowledge on how to prevent or even treat this procoagulant state is scarce. COVID-19 patients may be out of general thromboprophylaxis recommendations, and recent studies suggest a better prognosis in severe COVID-19 patients receiving anticoagulant therapy with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). However, the LMWH efficacy and safety, mainly in patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit, remains to be validated.
Despite its growing use across the world, and similar efficacy, filter-based therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) continues to be used less often that centrifuge-based TPE. One of the reasons is that the patient and circuit complications of centrifuge-based TPE are familiar to the clinical team. There is little data on the patient and circuit complications of filter-based TPE (using the Prismaflex). Furthermore, there is a reluctance to use filter-based TPE because historically, most TPE programs have used citrate-regional anticoagulation, and there is a large gap in knowledge in the use of citrate regional anti-coagulation when using filter-based TPE.
This trial is conducted to assess the performance and handling of the in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device for oral direct factor Xa and thrombin inhibitors from urine samples of patients on treatment with direct oral anticoagulants Apixaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban, and Dabigatran (DOAC) in an actual point-of-care (POCT) setting in comparison to results obtained by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) from urine samples. This trial is conducted to assess the performance and handling of the IVD for oral direct factor Xa and thrombin inhibitors from urine samples of patients on treatment with DOACs in an actual point-of-care setting in comparison to results obtained by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) from urine samples.

This study evaluates two different methods for monitoring a patient's anti-clotting [heparin] therapy after they receive a heart pump implant [left ventricular assist device -LVAD]. One method tests for how long it takes the patient's blood to clot and uses that to determine if they are on the right dose of heparin. The other method uses a more direct measure of how much heparin is in the blood. The hypothesis is that the method that more directly measures how much heparin is in the patient's blood will provide better medical results for the patient's care after they have the heart pump implant. To that end, the investigators are conducting this feasibility trial to establish the logistics associated with the implementation of these heparin monitoring approaches.
This is a multi center, phase 2 randomized controlled study to determine the effect of lyophilized plasma in patients on warfarin therapy.
