Did you know that pregnant people with #antiphospholipidsyndrome (APS) have an increased risk of adverse maternal & fetal outcomes? (1/4)
APS is characterized by #thrombosis and/or obstetric morbidity in the presence of #antiphospholipid antibodies. For pregnant people, this means increased likelihood of severe #preeclampsia, preterm birth, & #neonatalmortality. (2/4) 
Studies show that complement activity plays a key role in aPL-mediated #thrombosis & obstetric complications. And fortunately, complement inhibitors, like #eculizumab, offer promise of improved outcomes for pregnant people living with APS. (3/4)

🔥We will have a 1 year, and one of its kind Thrombosis Fellowship training program @ccfvascmed starting July 1, 2023. Our highly-acclaimed expert in thrombosis Dr. Marcelo Gomes is the PD. Applicants should be qualified in Vascular Medicine 🫀, hematology 🩸 or IM.
Training will be given by vascular internists, hematologist, cardiologists, clinical pathologists in thrombosis. Real mentorship & protected time for thrombosis research will also be given by @nih_nhlbi funded investigators . Thank you to @InariMedical for sponsorship !
This is a joint venture between @CleClinicHVTI @CCLRI #CleClinicCancer. Formal application available soon. Please DM me if interested. Please retweet. Our staff: my.clevelandclinic.org/departments/he….

…”Conclusions: Thrombosis in COVID-19 was associated with concomitant APLa and vitamin D deficiency. Future studies in COVID-19 should assess the role of vitamin D in reducing thrombosis.”👀. #covid #thrombosis #vitaminD

On May 27, 2021, Dr. Patrick Phillips was asked if the data in Canada's adverse event system can be trusted. He replied "absolutely not" & suggested #VAERS may be more reliable. However, "HHS’s own studies indicate that VAERS may be understating vaccine injuries by OVER 99%."

Thanks to the @CEPIvaccines @WHO @EuWHOEurope #Covax and others, 24,000 doses of #AstraZeneca vaccines arrived in 🇲🇪 last week, and this is just fantastic! But as in other European countries, there is a lot of hesitancy and fear related to this vaccine. 👇🏻 (🧵)
The ministry of health @MinZdravlja made the #AstraZeneca vaccine available to all 65+ old citizens, and this is great news as they are the most vulnerable group that was not eligible for @sputnikvaccine and #Sinopharm vaccines given in previous weeks to people 70+ 👇🏻
The main fear from what I understand is related to the inconsistent recommendations about the appropriate target groups and recent reports of #thrombotic events recorded in several EU countries now. Let’s address the issues one by one 👇🏻
Aberrant #glycosylation of anti-Spike antibodies promotes #thrombosis as observed in severely ill #COVID19 patients. Very interesting work from our collaborators in the UK: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. A few thoughts on why this could be important. 1/4
Severely ill patients make IgG with aberrant glycosylation. We previously showed that this (over)activates lung macrophages, which in turn activates endothelium, which in turn activates platelets. But this paper shows that the antibodies (over)activate platelets directly! 2/4
Interestingly, anti-Spike IgG with “normal” glycosylation (mild COVID-19 patients) has no effect. Only IgG with the combination of low fucose AND high galactose (severely ill patients) promotes thrombosis. In contrast, (over)activation of macrophages only requires low fucose. 3/4
Long 🧵 on vaccines and blood clots (from somebody who spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about, preventing & treating blood clots). #COVID19 #COVID19vaccine #hemetwitter #thrombosis 1/n
Yesterday @GovCanHealth, @MHRAgovuk, @EMA_News and my profession's organization @ThrombosisCan made clear statements that risks posed by AZ vaccine are far outweighed by its benefits. Does that square with media reports? Should we really get the first shot available to us? 2/n
I love my job as a blood and blood clot specialist. (LOVE IT!) So much of it focuses on talking to people about risks & how to stay safe DESPITE those risks. A lot of common medical procedures, drugs & life experiences [aging, pregnancy] increase your blood clot risk. BUT... 3/n

The coagulation system prevents the body from bleeding after injury, but what you might not know is this system continuously develops with age. This means children & adults have different risks of blood clotting + bleeding. This alters how they react to blood-thinning medications
“How can we protect our most vulnerable children?” This is the research aspiration that Chantal pursues in her daily life.
1 approach to understanding #covid19 infection is to examine co-morbidities & ask what's common?
Most prevalent Cov19 co-morbs:
1)↗️age
2)Hypertension
3)Diabetes
4)Cardiovascular disease
5)Kidney disease
6)Chronic respiratory disease (esp COPD)
8)Cancers
9)BMI>40

These are diverse diseases & increasing age technically not a disease at all. However, there is at least 1 factor in common among all of the co-morbidities identified thus far:
INFLAMMATION

A survey of the co-morbidities revealed another commonality; a close association w/ dysregulation of the pro-inflammatory, neutrophil-recruiting cytokine, IL-17A.
IL-17A is made by multiple immune cell types, including lung-resident innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s).

Blood clots are useful – they help us stop bleeding when we have an injury. However, the formation of blood clots within our blood stream (thrombosis) can have disastrous consequences – including death.
Children in hospital are much more likely to have thrombosis occur than healthy children. Childhood thrombosis has been described as the “new epidemic” in hospitals; venous thromboses in children = a 3% mortality rate, & survivors may experience long-term side effects.
