    Abstract Background: In newborns, elevated nucleated red blood cell (NRBC) levels can be associated with enhanced erythropoietic stress and might be predictive for adverse outcome. Also, the presence of NRBC in peripheral blood might lead to erroneous enumeration results of white blood cells in automated hematology analyzers. We aimed to assess the comparability of the Sysmex XN 1000 to manual slide reviews and correlation of NRBC with inflammation markers.
    Methods: Specimens of 3397 children under 1 year were compared by automated and microscopic NRBC enumeration. Additionally, potential correlations between NRBC and age and inflammation markers were examined.
    Results: Overall, there was good correlation (r = 0.97) between automated (range: 0%-3883%) and microscopic enumeration (range: 0%-3694%) of NRBC with high comparability up to a NRBC value of 200% and an increase in the variation between the two methods with increasing NRBC numbers. When 94 samples with ≤ 200% NRBC and ≥ 30% divergence between methods were separately reanalyzed with respect to overlapping cell populations in their scattergrams, Sysmex would have generated unrecognized incorrect automated results in 47 samples, corresponding to 1.4% of total study samples. NRBC counts were negatively correlated to age, but not to inflammation markers.
    Conclusion: Sysmex XN 1000 is highly precise in the enumeration of NRBC in children under 1 year up to counts of 200% and might replace time-intense manual counting in routine diagnostics. In the setting of neonatal and intensive care diagnostics, microscopic control and supervision of scattergrams are highly recommended for any automated NRBC enumeration processes.

    Abstract von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a very heterogenous disease, resulting in different phenotypes and different degrees of bleeding severity. Established therapies (i.e., desmopressin, antifibrinolytic agents, hormone therapy for heavy menstrual bleeding, and von Willebrand factor [VWF] concentrates) may work in some subtypes, but not in all patients. In recent years, progress has been made in improving the diagnosis of VWD subtypes, allowing for more specific therapy. The impact of VWD on women's daily lives has also come to the fore in recent years, with hormone therapy, tranexamic acid, or recombinant VWF as treatment options. New treatment approaches, including the replacement of lacking factor VIII (FVIII) function, may work in those subgroups affected by severe FVIII deficiency. Reducing the clearance of VWF is an alternative treatment pathway; for example, rondaptivon pegol is a VWFA1 domain-binding aptamer which not only improves plasma VWF/FVIII levels, but also corrects platelet counts in thrombocytopenic type 2B VWD patients. These approaches are currently in clinical development, which will be the focus of this review. In addition, half-life extension methods are also important for the improvement of patients' quality of life. Targeting specific mutations may further lead to personalized treatments in the future. Finally, a few randomized controlled trials, although relatively small, have been published in recent years, aiming to achieve a higher level of evidence in future guidelines.

    Abstract Introduction: It is extremely difficult to compare studies investigating the frequency of anaphylaxis making it challenging to satisfactorily assess the worldwide incidence rate. Using a systematic review and meta-analysis, this publication aims to determine the current incidence of all-cause anaphylaxis worldwide. Additionally, we investigated whether the incidence of anaphylaxis has changed over time and which factors influence the rates determined by individual studies.
    Methods: A literature search was performed in four databases. All articles that reported relevant information on population-based incidence rates of all-cause anaphylaxis were included. The protocol was published on INPLASY, the International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols.
    Results: The database query and screening process resulted in 46 eligible articles on anaphylaxis. The current incidence worldwide was found to be approximately 46 cases per 100,000 population per year (95% CI 21-103). Evaluating confounding factors showed that studies using allergy clinics and hospitalizations as data source result in comparably low rates. Moreover, children are less prone to develop anaphylaxis compared to the general population. Using a random effects Poisson model we calculated a yearly increase of anaphylaxis incidence by 7.4% (95% CI 7.3-7.6,
    Discussion: This seems to be the first approach to analyze every reported all-cause anaphylaxis incidence rate until 2017 for an at most accurate determination of its epidemiology. Based on these results, future research could investigate the underlying causes for the rising incidence in order find ways to decrease the condition's frequency.

    Abstract Introduction: Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a difficult-to-treat autoimmune hemolytic anemia and B cell lymphoproliferative disorder associated with fatigue, acrocyanosis, and a risk of thromboembolic events. Cold-induced binding of autoantibody agglutinates red blood cells and triggers the classical complement pathway, leading to predominantly extravascular hemolysis.
    Areas covered: This review summarizes clinical and experimental antibody-based treatments for CAD and analyzes the risks and benefits of B cell and complement directed therapies, and discusses potential future treatments for CAD.
    Expert opinion: Conventional treatment of CAD includes a B cell targeted treatment approach with rituximab, yielding only limited treatment success. The addition of a cytotoxic agent (e.g. bendamustine) increases efficacy, but this is accompanied by an increased risk of neutropenia and infection. Novel complement directed therapies have emerged and were shown to have good efficacy against hemolysis and safety profiles but are expensive and unable to address circulatory symptoms. Complement inhibition with sutimlimab may be used as a bridging strategy until B cell directed therapy with rituximab takes effect or continued indefinitely if needed. Future antibody-based treatment approaches for CAD involve the further development of complement directed antibodies, a combination of rituximab and bortezomib, and daratumumab. Non-antibody based prospective treatments may include the use of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a potential life-threatening, heterogenous, inflammatory lung disease. There are no data available on potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs) in critically ill patients with ARDS. This study analyzed pDDIs in this specific cohort and aimed to investigate possible associations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as an underlying cause of ARDS and treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with the occurrence of pDDIs. This retrospective study included patients ≥18 years of age diagnosed with ARDS between January 2010 and September 2021. The Janusmed database was used for the identification of pDDIs. A total of 2694 pDDIs were identified in 189 patients with a median treatment duration of 22 days. These included 323 (12%) clinically relevant drug combinations that are best avoided, corresponding to a median rate of 0.05 per day. There was no difference in the number of pDDIs between COVID-19- and non-COVID-19-associated ARDS. In patients treated with ECMO, the rate of the most severely graded pDDIs per day was significantly higher compared with those who did not require ECMO. PDDIs occur frequently in patients with ARDS. On average, each patient may encounter at least one clinically relevant drug combination that should be avoided during their intensive care unit stay.

    Abstract Background: For primary Raynaud phenomenon (PRP), an otherwise unexplained vasospastic disposition is assumed. To test the hypothesis of an additional involvement of distinct ultrastructural microvascular alterations, we compared the nailfold capillary pattern of patients with PRP and healthy controls.
    Methods: A total of 120 patients with PRP (with a median duration of vasospastic symptoms of 60 [IQR: 3-120] months) were compared against 125 controls. In both groups, nailfold capillaroscopy was performed to record the presence of dilatations, capillary edema, tortuous capillaries, ramifications, hemorrhages, and reduced capillary density and to determine a semiquantitative rating score. Further, the capacity of finger skin rewarming was investigated by performing infrared thermography in combination with cold provocation.
    Results: Unspecific morphologic alterations were found in both, PRP, such as controls, whereby the risk for PRP was four times as high in the presence of capillary dilations (CI: 2.3-7.6) and five times as high if capillary density was reduced (CI: 1.9-13.5). Capillary density correlated with thermoregulatory capacity in both hands in the PRP group, but not in controls. In addition, a negative correlation between the microangiopathy score and the percentage degree of rewarming in both hands was found for patients with PRP only.
    Conclusion: We found specific differences within the microvascular architecture between patients with PRP and controls. As a conclusion, PRP may not be an entirely benign vasospastic phenomenon, but might be associated with subtle microcirculatory vasculopathy. In addition, we suggest that the implementation of a scoring system might serve as guidance in the diagnostic process at least of patients with long-standing PRP.
