Prothrombotic Risk Factors

Abstract Objective.—To review the role of acquired and inherited prothrombotic risk factors that increase the risk of thrombosis in oral contraceptive users, during pregnancy, and in neonates, infants, and children; and to determine by the consensus opinion of recognized experts in the field which risk factors should be determined in which individuals at which time. Data Sources.—Review of the medical literature and current clinical practice by a panel of experts in the field of thrombophilia. Data Extraction and Synthesis.—The experts made an extensive review of the published literature and prepared a draft manuscript, which included preliminary recommendations. The draft manuscript was circulated to participants in the College of American Pathologists Conference XXXVI: Diagnostic Issues in Thrombophilia prior to the conference. The manuscript and recommendations were then presented at the conference for discussion. Recommendations were accepted if a consensus of the 26 experts attending the conference was reached. The results of the discussion were used to revise the manuscript into its final form. Conclusions.—This report reviews the options for testing for thrombophilic states in women using oral contraceptives, during pregnancy, and in neonates and children. General guidelines for testing in these clinical situations are provided, along with citation of the appropriate supporting literature.

Abstract Objectives Pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing optimizes pharmacotherapy and reduces interindividual variation in drug responses. However, it is still not implemented in clinical practice in the West Bank of Palestine (WBP). The aim of this study was to determine the need for PGx education and testing among physicians from different specialties in WBP. Methods This study used a cross-sectional survey that was administered to 381 physicians from different cities in WBP. The questionnaire consisted of 27 closed-ended questions that evaluate the exposure and attitude toward PGx education, the role of PGx testing in clinical practice, and the capabilities of physicians in PGx testing. Results It was found that exposure to PGx education is low, with most of the respondents (81.1%) answering that PGx was not an integral part of their medical education. The majority (>90%) of the participants agreed that PGx should be included in the medical school curriculum. It was also found that 58.5% of the participants agreed that PGx testing is relevant to their current clinical practice. In addition, most of the participant physicians (>60%) think that they are currently not capable of prescribing and making decisions for pharmacotherapy based on PGx testing. Conclusions It is concluded that there is a high need for PGx education and implementation in clinical practice in WBP. We recommend adding PGx courses to the curricula of medical schools and going forward with the implementation of PGx testing in clinical practice in WBP.

Oral corticosteroids (OCS) play an integral role in the pharmacological management of asthma, as well as a number of other inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. However, although their broad spectrum of effect is beneficial in controlling inflammation, it can also lead to undesirable effects on other cells, resulting in adverse effects. The purpose of the present review is to discuss the particular benefits of OCS and to outline the optimal role of these agents in the management of asthma, drawing on evidence-based medicine and current clinical practice guidelines. The mandate for the present review also covers an analysis of the risk:benefit ratio as it pertains to OCS use in asthma. The more common adverse effects will be discussed and weighed against the possible benefits.

SummaryThis article gives an overview of the profile of Alzheimer's disease, its pathophysiology and recent developments in technology that enable better understanding of the mechanism of disease. The diagnostic criteria and role of biomarkers proposed are explained. The new subgroups described are outlined in table form for easy reference. Subtypes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are reviewed and the conversion of amnestic MCI to Alzheimer's disease is considered. The implications and change to current clinical practice form the basis of the conclusion of the article.
