Background: Compared to heparin, there is limited evidence of the benefits of bivalirudin in the patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Methods: We searched for studies comparing bivalirudin anticoagulation with heparin anticoagulation in ECMO patients in the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to March 28, 2024. ECMO patients were divided into the bivalirudin experimental group and the heparin control group.

Burkholderia pseudomallei, the cause of melioidosis, forms biofilms that facilitate survival, alter antimicrobial susceptibility and promote disease recurrence. Neutrophils contribute to bacterial eradication through phagocytosis, degranulation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). However, NETs are demonstrably insufficient to eradicate B.

Background: Platelet factor 4 (PF4) plays a central role in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). PF4 is a positively charged tetramer that forms immune complexes with anti-PF4 immunoglobulin G, activating platelets via FcγRIIA. Despite extensive study, a platelet receptor for PF4 within these complexes has not been clearly defined.

Background: Previous studies evaluating the influence of inter-hospital transfer on mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reported conflicting results. The multicenter BRIGHT-4 trial demonstrated that bivalirudin plus a post-PCI high-dose infusion (1.75 mg/kg/h) reduced the 30-day primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types 3-5 bleeding compared with heparin monotherapy in STEMI patients.
