    Abstract Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is an inherited cutaneous porphyria caused by reduced expression of ferrochelatase, the enzyme that catalyzes the final step in heme biosynthesis. The resultant accumulation of protoporphyrin IX leads to severe, painful cutaneous photosensitivity, as well as potentially life-threatening liver disease in a small percentage of patients. X-linked protoporphyria (XLP) is clinically similar to EPP but results from increased activity of δ-aminolevulinic acid synthase 2, the first step in heme biosynthesis in the bone marrow, and also causes protoporphyrin accumulation. Although historically the management of EPP and XLP (collectively termed protoporphyria) centered around avoidance of sunlight, novel therapies have recently been approved or are in development, which will alter the therapeutic landscape for these conditions. We present 3 patient cases, highlighting key treatment considerations in patients with protoporphyria, including (1) approach to photosensitivity, (2) managing iron deficiency in protoporphyria, and (3) understanding hepatic failure in protoporphyria.

    Abstract The porphyrias are a group of rare diseases, each resulting from a defect in a different enzymatic step of the heme biosynthetic pathway. They can be broadly divided into two categories, hepatic and erythropoietic porphyrias, depending on the primary site of accumulation of heme intermediates. These disorders are multisystemic with variable symptoms that can be encountered by physicians in any specialty. Here, we review the porphyrias and describe their clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management. We discuss novel therapies that are approved or in development. Early diagnosis is key for the appropriate management and prevention of long-term complications in these rare disorders.

    Abstract Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, data on long-term outcomes of patients with MPN who have had ACS and risk factors for all-cause death or CV events post-ACS hospitalization are lacking. We conducted a single-center study of 41 consecutive patients with MPN with ACS hospitalization after MPN diagnosis. After a median follow-up of 80 months after ACS hospitalization, 31 (76%) experienced death or a CV event (myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or heart failure hospitalization). After multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, index ACS within 12 months of MPN diagnosis (HR 3.84, 95% CI 1.44-10.19), WBC ≥ 20 K/µL (HR 9.10, 95% CI 2.71-30.52),

    Abstract This review aims to highlight the common pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions utilized for thromboprophylaxis as well as flap salvage in microsurgery. A literature review was conducted in PubMed/National Center for Biotechnology Information, Scopus, Web of Science, and MEDLINE databases. Articles with a focus on thromboprophylaxis in microsurgical procedures spanning head and neck surgery, breast and extremity microvascular reconstruction, deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus in microvascular surgery, and flap thrombosis and salvage were included in this review. The majority of available evidence supports mechanical venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in all patients undergoing microsurgery given the presence of multiple risk factors for VTE within this particular patient population. Based on the literature review, addition of VTE chemoprophylactic agents is beneficial and an algorithmic approach to thromboprophylaxis in microsurgery patients and management of patients with thrombosis based on literature review and senior authors' experience is recommended and outlined.

    Abstract Avatrombopag is a newer thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) currently approved to treat chronic ITP (duration >12 months). No studies have yet evaluated the safety and effectiveness of avatrombopag in newly diagnosed ITP (duration <3 months) or persistent ITP (duration 3-12 months), and so its use in these populations is presently off-label worldwide. We hypothesize that avatrombopag has similar safety and effectiveness irrespective of ITP disease phase. To evaluate this, we performed a multicenter observational cohort study of adults with ITP treated with avatrombopag, comparing patient outcomes by disease phase (newly diagnosed/persistent versus chronic). Seventy-five patients were included, 23 with newly diagnosed/persistent ITP (17.7 patient-years of avatrombopag treatment) and 52 with chronic ITP (65.3 patient-years of avatrombopag treatment). On avatrombopag, 91% of newly diagnosed/persistent patients versus 96% of chronic patients (p = .58) achieved a platelet response (≥50 × 10

    Abstract Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) is a group of four rare inherited diseases, each resulting from a deficiency in a distinct enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Characterized by acute neurovisceral symptoms that may mimic other medical and psychiatric conditions, lack of recognition of the disease often leads to a delay in diagnosis and initiation of effective treatment. Biochemical testing for pathway intermediates that accumulate when the disease is active forms the basis for screening and establishing a diagnosis. Subsequent genetic analysis identifies the pathogenic variant, supporting screening of family members and genetic counseling. Management of AHP involves avoidance of known exogenous and hormonal triggers, symptomatic treatment, and prevention of recurrent attacks. Here we describe six case studies from our own real-world experience to highlight current recommendations and challenges associated with the diagnosis and long-term management of the disease.

    Abstract Background: Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) causes painful light sensitivity, limiting quality of life. Our objective was to develop and validate a wearable light exposure device and correlate measurements with light sensitivity in EPP to predict and prevent symptoms.
    Methods: A wearable light dosimeter was developed to capture light doses of UVA, blue, and red wavelengths. A prospective observational pilot study was performed in which five EPP patients wore two light dosimeters for 3 weeks, one as a watch, and one as a shirt clip.
    Results: Standard deviation (SD) increases from the mean in the daily blue light dose increased the odds ratio (OR) for symptom risk more than the self-reported outdoor time (OR 2.76 vs. 2.38) or other wavelengths, and a one SD increase from the mean in the daily blue light wristband device dose increased the OR for symptom risk more than the daily blue light shirt clip (OR 2.45 vs. 1.62). The area under the receiver operator curve for the blue light wristband dose was 0.78, suggesting 78% predictive accuracy.
    Conclusion: These data demonstrate that wearable blue light dosimetry worn as a wristband is a promising method for measuring light exposure and predicting and preventing symptoms in EPP.
