Abstract
As a versatile element for maintaining homeostasis, the chemokine system has been reported to be implicated in the pathogenesis of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). However, research pertaining to chemokine receptors and related ligands in adult ITP is still limited. The states of several typical chemokine receptors and cognate ligands in the circulation were comparatively assessed through various methodologies. Multiple variable analyses of correlation matrixes were conducted to characterize the correlation signatures of various chemokine receptors or candidate ligands with platelet counts. Our data illustrated a significant decrease in relative CXCR3 expression and elevated plasma levels of CXCL4, 9-11, 13, and CCL3 chemokines in ITP patients with varied platelet counts. Flow cytometry assays revealed eminently diminished CXCR3 levels on T and B lymphocytes and increased CXCR5 on cytotoxic T cell (Tc) subsets in ITP patients with certain platelet counts. Meanwhile, circulating CX3CR1 levels were markedly higher on T cells with a concomitant increase in plasma CX3CL1 level in ITP patients, highlighting the importance of aberrant alterations of the CX3CR1-CX3CL1 axis in ITP pathogenesis. Spearman's correlation analyses revealed a strong positive association of peripheral CXCL4 mRNA level, and negative correlations of plasma CXCL4 concentration and certain chemokine receptors with platelet counts, which might serve as a potential biomarker of platelet destruction in ITP development. Overall, these results indicate that the differential expression patterns and distinct activation states of peripheral chemokine network, and the subsequent expansion of circulating CXCR5+ Tc cells and CX3CR1+ T cells, may be a hallmark during ITP progression, which ultimately contributes to thrombocytopenia in ITP patients.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease typically associated with severely depleted platelet counts. However, additional symptoms (e.g. increased fatigue and memory/concentration difficulties) can profoundly impact patients' quality of life. The nature and severity of cognitive impairment in ITP, and potential association with patient/disease characteristics were evaluated in 49 adults with relapsed/refractory ITP. The Cogstate Brief Battery quantitatively assessed psychomotor function (DET), attention (IDN), visual learning (OCL) and working memory (ONB) individually, as well as DET/IDN and OCL/ONB composites. Clinically important cognitive impairment (defined as z-score ≤ -1) for ≥2 individual tests was observed in 29 patients (59%). Impairment was highest for IDN (67% of patients), followed by DET (53%), ONB (39%) and OCL (16%). A higher magnitude of impairment was observed for the DET/IDN composite (mean z-score -1.54; 95% CI, -1.94 to -1.13) than OCL/ONB (mean z-score -0.21; 95% CI, -0.49 to 0.07). The severity of cognitive impairment was comparable to mild traumatic brain injury and associated with increasing age and fatigue but unrelated to platelet count or corticosteroid use. Overall, these results warrant a clinical need to further consider the potential of cognitive dysfunction in assessing ITP patients.

Abstract
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is due to autoantibodies against platelet surface antigens. ITP is considered as either primary, with no clear etiology, or as secondary ITP (drug-induced; underlying diseases). Autoantibodies lead both to loss of platelets in the spleen and/or liver but simultaneously reduce their production. Contrary to other disorders with thrombocytopenia, ITP has reduced levels of thrombopoetin. ITP remains a diagnosis of exclusion. A single defining laboratory test does not exist. Glycoprotein-specific antibodies can be detected in only about 50% of cases. Ruling out EDTA-induced pseudo thrombocytopenia is of particular relevance. Secondary causes of thrombocytopenia should be excluded through medical history (especially medication history), physical examination and possibly bone-marrow puncture.

Abstract
Here, we present a series of illustrated capsules from the State of the Art (SOA) speakers at the 2024 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis Congress in Bangkok, Thailand. This year's Congress marks the first time that the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis has held its flagship scientific meeting in Southeast Asia and is the first to be organized by an international Planning Committee. The Bangkok program will feature innovative science and clinical updates from around the world, reflecting the diversity and multidisciplinary growth of our field. In these illustrated SOA capsules, you will find an exploration of novel models of thrombosis and bleeding and biomaterial discoveries that can trigger or block coagulation. Thromboinflammation is now understood to drive many disease states, and the SOA speakers cover cellular and coagulation responses to COVID-19 and other infections. The theme of crosstalk between coagulation and inflammation expands with capsules on protein S signaling, complement, and fibrinolytic inhibitors. Novel agents for hemophilia and thrombosis prevention are introduced. Challenging clinical conditions are also covered, such as inherited platelet disorders and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. The scientific program in Bangkok will also showcase the work of clinicians and scientists from all parts of the world and chronicle real-world challenges. For example, 2 SOA capsules address the diagnosis and management of von Willebrand disease in low-income settings. Take some time to browse through these short illustrated reviews; we're sure that you'll be entertained, educated, and inspired to further explore the world of thrombosis and hemostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critical illness-associated cerebral microbleeds and leukoencephalopathy connected to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection are emerging areas of concern in current medical literature. METHODS We reviewed cases of patients with COVID-19-associated neurological manifestations to study the prevalence and outcome of such conditions. Case Series Findings: Our review yielded seven distinct patients. Six exhibited cerebral microbleeds, primarily localized in the juxtacortical white matter and the corpus callosum. In contrast, one individual presented with leukoencephalopathy. Tragically, of these patients, five succumbed to their ailments. One was discharged with mild cognitive impairments, while another underwent a tracheostomy and was subsequently moved to a long-term care establishment. CONCLUSION Our findings underscore the significance of neuro-radiological observations in those grappling with severe manifestations of COVID-19, drawing attention to the possible neurological repercussions of the virus.

Abstract
Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an immune-mediated bleeding disorder characterized by decreased platelet counts and an increased risk of bleeding. Multiple humoral and cellular immune abnormalities result in accelerated platelet destruction and suppressed platelet production in ITP. The diagnosis remains a clinical exclusion of other causes of thrombocytopenia. Treatment is not required except for patients with active bleeding, severe thrombocytopenia, or cases in need of invasive procedures. Corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and anti-RhD immunoglobulin are the classical initial treatments for newly diagnosed ITP in adults, but these agents generally cannot induce a long-term response in most patients. Subsequent treatments for patients who fail the initial therapy include thrombopoietic agents, rituximab, fostamatinib, splenectomy, and several older immunosuppressive agents. Other potential therapeutic agents, such as inhibitors of Bruton's tyrosine kinase and neonatal Fc receptor, are currently under clinical evaluation. An optimized treatment strategy should aim at elevating the platelet counts to a safety level with minimal toxicity and improving patient health-related quality of life, and always needs to be tailored to the patients and disease phases. In this review, we address the concepts of adult ITP diagnosis and management and provide a comprehensive overview of current therapeutic strategies under general and specific situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Growing evidence suggests breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) mutations may augment cerebrovascular risk factors. With this influence in mind, we aimed to identify if BRCA mutations increased the prevalence of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). METHODS AND MATERIALS We performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of adults undergoing malignancy evaluation with confirmed BRCA mutations compared to BRCA wildtype individuals. A standard-of-care brain MRI was reviewed. Chi-squared or Fisher's, Wilcoxon rank-sum and the Student's t-test analyses were used when appropriate. Adjusted logistic regression models were fit to calculate odds ratio. Multicollinearity was tested by variance inflation factor calculation and for goodness-of-fit via the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. RESULTS Of 116 individuals, 44.8% (52/116) carried a BRCA mutation. Demographic and cerebrovascular risk factors did not differ. Cerebral microbleeds were more common in those with BRCA mutation: [32.7% (17/52) vs. 17.2% (11/64), p = 0.05] with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.8 (95%CI 1.08-6.89, p = 0.03). Other markers of CSVD were similar amongst the cohort. CONCLUSIONS We identified a nearly 3-fold increase in identified cerebral microbleed in those with BRCA mutations compared with BRCA wildtype individuals suggestive of an interaction between the BRCA gene and cerebral microbleed formation. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings and to understand clinical implications.

Abstract
Intraparenchymal hemorrhage, platelet count, serious infections, severe bleeding events, and Glasgow coma scale predict poor prognosis. A prognostic model was developed and validated, and an application was established.
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a rare and life-threatening hemorrhagic event in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). However, its mortality and related risk factors remain unclear. Herein, we conducted a nationwide multicenter real-world study of ICH in adult ITP patients. According to data from 27 centers in China from 2005 to 2020, the mortality rate from ICH was 33.80% (48/142) in ITP adults. We identified risk factors by logistic univariate and multivariate logistic regression for 30-day mortality in a training cohort of 107 patients as follows: intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH), platelet count ≤10 × 109/L at ICH, a combination of serious infections, grade of preceding bleeding events, and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) level on admission. Accordingly, a prognostic model of 30-day mortality was developed based on the regression equation. Then, we evaluated the performance of the prognostic model through a bootstrap procedure for internal validation. Furthermore, an external validation with data from a test cohort with 35 patients from 11 other centers was conducted. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves for the internal and external validation were 0.954 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.910-0.998) and 0.942 (95% CI, 0.871-1.014), respectively. Both calibration plots illustrated a high degree of consistency in the estimated and observed risk. In addition, the decision curve analysis showed a considerable net benefit for patients. Thus, an application (47.94.162.105:8080/ich/) was established for users to predict 30-day mortality when ICH occurred in adult patients with ITP.
