BACKGROUND: Early detection of compromised free flap perfusion is critical. A common modality of thrombosis detection, physical examination augmented with hand-held Doppler, provides only intermittent data and is insensitive to venous compromise. Visible light spectroscopy provides continuous, noninvasive evaluation of tissue perfusion. The authors hypothesized that visible light spectroscopy is a more sensitive and specific monitoring method for early detection of postoperative flap compromise than intermittent hand-held Doppler and clinical examination...

BACKGROUND: Andexanet alfa (andexanet) is a recombinant modified human factor Xa decoy protein that has been shown to reverse the inhibition of factor Xa in healthy volunteers. METHODS: In this multicenter, prospective, open-label, single-group study, we evaluated 67 patients who had acute major bleeding within 18 hours after the administration of a factor Xa inhibitor. The patients all received a bolus of andexanet followed by a 2-hour infusion of the drug. Patients were evaluated for changes in measures of anti-factor Xa activity and were assessed for clinical hemostatic efficacy during a 12-hour period...

BACKGROUND: Patients with acute medical illnesses are at prolonged risk for venous thrombosis. However, the appropriate duration of thromboprophylaxis remains unknown. METHODS: Patients who were hospitalized for acute medical illnesses were randomly assigned to receive subcutaneous enoxaparin (at a dose of 40 mg once daily) for 10±4 days plus oral betrixaban placebo for 35 to 42 days or subcutaneous enoxaparin placebo for 10±4 days plus oral betrixaban (at a dose of 80 mg once daily) for 35 to 42 days...

BACKGROUND: Bleeding is a complication of treatment with factor Xa inhibitors, but there are no specific agents for the reversal of the effects of these drugs. Andexanet is designed to reverse the anticoagulant effects of factor Xa inhibitors. METHODS: Healthy older volunteers were given 5 mg of apixaban twice daily or 20 mg of rivaroxaban daily. For each factor Xa inhibitor, a two-part randomized placebo-controlled study was conducted to evaluate andexanet administered as a bolus or as a bolus plus a 2-hour infusion...

REVIEW
Antonio Gomez-Outes, M L Suarez-Gea, Ramon Lecumberri, Ana I Terleira-Fernandez, Emilio Vargas-Castrillon
In the last decade, several direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC; dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) have been marketed for prophylaxis and/or treatment of thromboembolism without having specific antidotes available for their reversal. Current management of bleeding associated to DOAC includes the removal of all antithrombotic medications and supportive care. Non-specific procoagulant agents (prothrombin complex concentrates and activated factor VIIa) have been used in case of serious bleeding. Currently, some specific antidotes for the DOAC are under development...

Using a novel noninvasive, visible-light optical diffusion oximeter (T-Stat VLS Tissue Oximeter; Spectros Corporation, Portola Valley, CA) to measure the tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) of the buccal mucosa, the correlation between StOz and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) was examined in children with congenital cyanotic heart disease undergoing a cardiac surgical procedure. Paired StO2 and serum ScvO2 measurements were obtained postoperatively and statistically analyzed for agreement and association...

Discovery of small molecular inhibitors for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is a major ongoing effort within the pharmaceutical industry. Spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) is one of leading small molecular targets with regard to clinical development primarlly due to efforts by Rigel and Portola. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the SYK patent landscape. The patent literature we evaluated relates to any organization that has filed applications that imply that SYK is the intended target. The interest in SYK was initiated in the early 2000's with many organizations, including several large pharmaceutical companies, and has been active for years...

P2Y purinergic receptor subtypes are expressed on the surface of platelets and are vitally important for platelet function. Elinogrel (PRT-060128), a novel, direct-acting and reversible platelet P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) antagonist, is being developed by Portola Pharmaceuticals Inc and Novartis AG for the intravenous and oral treatment of acute coronary syndrome and prevention of secondary thrombotic events. In phase I clinical trials, elinogrel demonstrated a rapid and potent inhibition of ADP-mediated platelet response, even in patients with coronary artery disease who were deemed non-responsive to clopidogrel, the current standard-of-care therapy...

As surgeons become more aggressive in treating aneurysms with endovascular techniques, traditional surgical principles of preserving internal iliac arteries and the inferior mesenteric artery have been challenged. A case is presented where the T-Stat device (Spectros Corp, Portola Valley, Calif), an optical real-time sensor approved by United States Food and Drug Administration for measuring colon ischemia, was used as an adjunctive measure to assist in the successful endovascular aneurysm repair in a patient at high risk for colon ischemia...

Venous thromboembolic disease, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a cause of significant mortality and morbidity. For several decades, anticoagulant options for the treatment and prevention of thrombosis have been limited mainly to agents such as unfractionated heparin and oral vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin. Although these therapies have proven benefits, they also have important limitations that result in their underuse in routine clinical practice. A variety of novel anticoagulants with improved pharmacologic and clinical profiles are in development, offering benefits over traditional therapies...

A series of experiments was carried out in a 0.5-ha lake at Portola Country Club, Palm Desert, CA, to study the oviposition habits of Chironomus anonymus. Egg masses were collected by floatable polypropylene ropes attached to the 1.5-m-long stakes placed in the lake. In the diel experiment, ropes were changed every 2 h to determine the preferred oviposit on periods of C. anonymus. The peak of oviposition was between 1900 and 2100 h. For the interruption of oviposition experiment, ropes were placed in the still and agitated portions of the lake for 24 h...
