    Abstract Platelet transfusions are commonly administered for the prevention or treatment of bleeding in patients with acquired thrombocytopenia across a range of clinical contexts. Recent data, including randomized trials, have highlighted uncertainties in the risk-benefit balance of this therapy, which is the subject of this review. Hemovigilance systems report that platelets are the most frequently implicated component in transfusion reactions. There is considerable variation in platelet count increment after platelet transfusion, and limited evidence of efficacy for clinical outcomes, including prevention of bleeding. Bleeding events commonly occur despite the different policies for platelet transfusion prophylaxis. The underlying mechanisms of harm reported in randomized trials may be related to the role of platelets beyond hemostasis, including mediating inflammation. Research supports the implementation of a restrictive platelet transfusion policy. Research is needed to better understand the impact of platelet donation characteristics on outcomes, and to determine the optimal thresholds for platelet transfusion before invasive procedures or major surgery (eg, laparotomy). Platelet transfusion policies should move toward a risk-adapted approach that does not focus solely on platelet count.

    Abstract Aim: The objective in this study was to assess the clinical and economic implications of the inclusion of rivaroxaban as a secondary prophylaxis in patients with chronic or symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the United States (US).
    Methods: A cost-consequence model was adapted to evaluate the economic impact of rivaroxaban plus aspirin in a hypothetical 1-million-member health plan. The model inputs were taken from multiple sources: efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban + aspirin vs. aspirin alone were abstracted from COMPASS and VOYAGER randomized clinical trials; the prevalence of chronic and symptomatic PAD and incidence rates of clinical events (major adverse cardiac events [MACE], major adverse limb events [MALE], and major bleeding), were abstracted from the analysis of claims data; healthcare costs of clinical events and wholesale acquisition costs for rivaroxaban were abstracted from the literature and Red Book, respectively (2022 USD). One-way sensitivity analyses and subgroup analyses were also conducted.
    Results: Over one year, with a 5% uptake of rivaroxaban, the model estimated rivaroxaban + aspirin to reduce 21 MACE/MALE events in the PAD patient population. The reduction in these clinical events offsets the increased risk of major bleeding (16 additional events), demonstrating a positive health benefit of the rivaroxaban addition. These benefits led to a $0.27 incremental cost per member per month (PMPM) to a US plan. The major driver of the incremental cost was the cost of rivaroxaban. In a subgroup of patients with the presence of any high-risk factor (heart failure, diabetes, renal insufficiency, or history of vascular disease affecting two or more vascular beds), the incremental PMPM cost was $0.13.
    Conclusions: Rivaroxaban + aspirin was found to provide positive net clinical benefit on the annual number of MACE/MALE avoided, with a modest increase in the PMPM cost.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) are caused by toxin-producing bacteria and fungi that results in rapid progression of disease with significant local tissue destruction.
    Case presentation: We present a case report of a 57-year-old male patient in line with the SCARE 2020 criteria. He was admitted to the emergency department with a small abrasion on the right antero-lateral chest wall, and a diffuse necrotic patch of skin and soft tissues with purulent discharge.
    Clinical discussion: Clinical examination, routine blood investigations, CT scan chest, and chest x-ray were performed. Patient underwent debridement six times, followed by negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). After negative culture report, Integra Meshed Dermal Regeneration Template (IMDRT), measuring 4 × 5 in. was applied and NPWT continued. The outer layer of IDRT was removed on Day 19. Split thickness skin grafting (STSG) was performed once neodermis formation was confirmed. NPWT was continued post skin grafting for a week. IDRT was successfully taken up over the raw area with exposed lung. Patient was discharged 10 days after STSG. The patient's condition improved remarkably and he was able to breathe normally. There was no puckering or tethering effect on the grafted area and not much fibrosis. He showed speedy recovery with healed donor site and 100% uptake of grafted tissue.
    Conclusion: IDRT along with NPWT is an effective and useful technique for spontaneous regeneration of the dermis and basement membrane to promote wound healing in traumatic patients with NSTIs.
