BACKGROUND: The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) is a novel marker of endothelial injury and correlates with survival of various patients. The endothelial dysfunction plays an important role on the pathophysiological process of traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study was designed to explore the prognostic value of EASIX on TBI patients. METHODS: 358 TBI patients hospitalized in the West China hospital between October 2018 and October 2022 were enrolled for this study...

INTRODUCTION: Acquired hemophilia-A (AHA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening impaired coagulation disorder characterized by the development of autoantibodies against clotting factor VIII. Only a few case reports have been experienced with influenza vaccine-triggered AHA. Here, we report a case of severe hemorrhagic disorder due to AHA following influenza vaccine, which was successfully treated. PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient presented to the emergency department because of several severe, progressively worsening bruises after receiving the influenza vaccination...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health priority. In addition to being the leading cause of trauma related death, TBI can result in long-term disability and loss of health. Disorders of haemostasis are common despite the absence of some of the traditional risk factors for coagulopathy following trauma. Similar to trauma induced coagulopathy, this manifests with a biphasic response consisting of an early hypocoagulable phase and delayed hypercoagulable state. This coagulopathy is clinically significant and associated with increased rates of haemorrhagic expansion, disability and death...

BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the diseases with high disability and mortality worldwide. Recent studies have shown that TBI-related factors may change the complex balance between bleeding and thrombosis, leading to coagulation disorders. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the prediction of coagulopathy and subdural hematoma thickness at admission using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) in patients with severe TBI at 6 months after discharge. METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1,006 patients with severe TBI in large medical centers in three different provinces of China from June 2015 to June 2021 were enrolled after the exclusion criteria, and 800 patients who met the enrollment criteria were included...

Trauma is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and companion animals. Recent efforts in procedural development, training, quality systems, data collection, and research have positively impacted patient outcomes; however, significant unmet need still exists. Coordinated efforts by collaborative, translational, multidisciplinary teams to advance trauma care and improve outcomes have the potential to benefit both human and veterinary patient populations. Strategic use of veterinary clinical trials informed by expertise along the research spectrum (i...

BACKGROUND: Microparticles (MPs) have been implicated in thrombosis and endothelial dysfunction. Their involvement in early coagulopathy and in worsening of outcomes in isolated severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) patients remains ill defined. OBJECTIVE: We sought to quantify the circulatory MP subtypes derived from platelets (PMPs; CD42), endothelial cells (EMPs; CD62E), and those bearing tissue factor (TFMP; CD142) and analyze their correlation with early coagulopathy, thrombin generation, and in-hospital mortality...

BACKGROUND: Epistaxis is a frequent presenting complaint in the Emergency Department (ED). Roughly 60% of the population will suffer from epistaxis in their lifetime. The most common causes of epistaxis include nose picking, facial trauma, foreign bodies, and coagulopathies. There are other causes that are much less common, such as intracranial pseudoaneurysms. There are multiple causes that precipitate intracranial pseudoaneurysm formation, with head trauma accounting for less than 1% of inciting events...

BACKGROUND: In patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), clinicians must balance preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) with the risk of intracranial hemorrhagic expansion (ICHE). We hypothesized that low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) would not increase risk of ICHE or VTE as compared to unfractionated heparin (UH) in patients with severe TBI. METHODS: Patients ≥ 18 years of age with isolated severe TBI (AIS ≥ 3), admitted to 24 level I and II trauma centers between January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2020 and who received subcutaneous UH and LMWH injections for chemical venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTEP) were included...

Hypothermia in a trauma patient has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality and is more frequently seen in those sustaining traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Acidosis is an important consequence of hypothermia that leads to derangements across the spectrum of the coagulation cascade. Here, we present a case of a 31-year-old male presented after suffering a right parietal penetrating ballistic injury with an associated subdural hematoma and 7 mm midline shift requiring decompressive craniectomy and external ventricular drain (EVD) placement in the setting of severe hypothermia (28°C) and acidosis (pH 7...

INTRODUCTION: Initial management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) without immediate need for surgical therapy varies across centers. The additional value of routine repeat cranial computerized tomography (CT) to neurological monitoring is controversial. This retrospective study investigates the impact of routine follow-up CT after 6 h (CT6h) in initially conservatively managed TBI on surgical decision making. Furthermore, the impact of coagulopathy on lesion size and progression was examined...

Severe burn injury elicits a profound stress response with the potential for high morbidity and mortality. If polytrauma is present, patient outcomes appear to be worse. Sex-based comparisons indicate females have worse outcomes than males. There are few effective drug therapies to treat burn shock and secondary injury progression. The lack of effective drugs appears to arise from the current treat-as-you-go approach rather than a more integrated systems approach. In this review, we present a brief history of burns research and discuss its pathophysiology from a systems' perspective...

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) often initiates a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, which can potentially culminate into multiorgan dysfunction. A central player in this cascade is endotheliopathy, caused by perturbations in homeostatic mechanisms governed by endothelial cells due to injury-induced coagulopathy, heightened sympathoadrenal response, complement activation, and proinflammatory cytokine release. Unique to TBI is the potential disruption of the blood-brain barrier, which may expose neuronal antigens to the peripheral immune system and permit neuroinflammatory mediators to enter systemic circulation, propagating endotheliopathy systemically...

BACKGROUND: Acute type A aortic intramural hematoma (ATAIMH) is a variant of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), exhibiting an increased risk of hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade. It can be life-threatening without emergency treatment. However, comprehensive studies of the clinical features and surgical outcomes of preoperative hemopericardium in patients with ATAIMH remain scarce. This retrospective study aims to investigate the clinical features and early and late outcomes of patients who underwent aortic repair surgery for ATAIMH complicated with preoperative hemopericardium...

In patients affected by traumatic brain injury (TBI), hypofibrinogenemia within the initial hours of trauma can be expected due to vascular and inflammatory changes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of hypofibrinogenemia on the in-hospital mortality and 6-month functional outcomes of TBI patients, admitted to Rajaee Hospital, a referral trauma center in Shiraz, Iran. This study included all TBI patients admitted to our center who had no prior history of coagulopathy or any systemic disease, were alive on arrival, and had not received any blood product before admission...

Objective: We sought to identify potential drivers behind resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) induced reperfusion coagulopathy using novel proteomic methods. Background: Coagulopathy associated with REBOA is poorly defined. The REBOA Zone 1 provokes hepatic and intestinal ischemia that may alter coagulation factor production and lead to molecular pathway alterations that compromises hemostasis. We hypothesized that REBOA Zone 1 would lead to reperfusion coagulopathy driven by mediators of fibrinolysis, loss of coagulation factors, and potential endothelial dysfunction...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce systemic coagulopathy and inflammation, thereby increasing the risk of mortality and disability. However, the mechanism causing systemic coagulopathy and inflammation following TBI remains unclear. In prior research, we discovered that brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs), originating from the injured brain, can activate the coagulation cascade and inflammatory cells. In this study, we primarily investigated how BDEVs affect systemic coagulopathy and inflammation in peripheral circulation...
