    Abstract Oral anticoagulants are widely used to treat or prevent cardiovascular diseases in millions of patients worldwide. They are the drugs of choice for stroke prevention and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and prosthetic heart valves, as well as for treatment/prevention of venous thromboembolism. Oral anticoagulants include vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). The hemostasis laboratory plays a crucial role in the management of treated patients, spanning from dose adjustment based on laboratory testing that applies to VKAs to the measurement of drug concentrations in special situations that apply to DOACs. This article aims to overview how the hemostasis laboratory can help clinicians manage patients on oral anticoagulants. Special interest is devoted to the international normalized ratio, used to manage patients on VKAs and to the measurement of DOAC concentrations, for which the role of the laboratory is still not very well defined, and most interferences of DOACs with some of the most common hemostatic parameters are not widely appreciated.

    Abstract The severity of the bleeding phenotype in patients with hemophilia A (HA) broadly correlates with the degree of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency in plasma. However, the FVIII level necessary to achieve the goal of zero joint bleeds remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the minimum FVIII level necessary to prevent joint bleeds in patients with HA. In this retrospective study, patients with congenital mild HA treated on demand, aged ≥16 years, with no history of FVIII inhibitors, followed at the Angelo Bianchi Bonomi Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center in Milan, were enrolled. We investigated 270 male patients with a median age of 45 years (16-88) and median lifelong FVIII of 21 IU/dL. One hundred patients (37%) had a lifelong history of at least 1 joint bleed. The mean annualized joint bleeding rate (AJBR) and spontaneous AJBR were 0.016 (standard deviation [SD], 0.032) and 0.001 (SD, 0.010), respectively. After adjusting for age, for each IU/dL increase in FVIII, there was a 6% reduction in AJBR and an 11% reduction in spontaneous AJBR. The minimum FVIII levels needed to prevent lifelong any joint bleeds and spontaneous joint bleeds resulted to be 19.2 IU/dL and 17.7 IU/dL, respectively. In this large cohort of persons with mild HA, we identified the minimum FVIII levels needed to prevent total and spontaneous joint bleeds (19.2 IU/dL and 17.7 IU/dL, respectively). These findings could suggest important implications for the accurate design of prophylactic therapies for persons with moderate and severe HA, including gene therapy.

    Abstract Polypharmacy and inappropriate prescriptions in the elderly are widely discussed themes in scientific literature. Although more and more studies showed the safety and feasibility of deprescribing strategies, these are not implemented in clinical practice. In order to measure the attitudes of Italian doctors towards deprescribing and address their awareness, experiences, difficulties in applying these strategies and potential suggestions, we aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire, the Medical Attitudes Towards Deprescribing Questionnaire (MATD-Q). Between November 2017 and October 2018 an e-mail was sent to internists, geriatricians and general practitioners, to invite them to connect to a platform and answer to the questionnaire, consisting in 38 items (with a five level score) and five questions. After 2-3 weeks, a second e-mail was sent for a second completion of the questionnaire. Test-retest reliability was assessed by means of the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The correlations between items were assessed by means of Pearson linear correlation coefficients and Cronbach Alpha was used to assess internal consistency. A total of 77 questionnaires completed twice were collected. By a principal component analysis we defined a smaller set of variables (n = 12), which resulted to be representative of the 38-item questionnaire.The final version of the questionnaire we developed (MATDQ-12), after validation in other cohorts, could be a useful tool to measure the efficacy of educational interventions aimed at improving the attitude of physicians towards deprescribing strategies with the final goal to allow their implementation in clinical practice.

    Abstract Introduction: The increased life expectancy of patients with haemophilia A (HA) has led to a growing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and events. There is still scarce evidence on the safety and appropriate duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in HA patients.
    Aim: We describe our experience on the clinical management of Italian HA patients after ACS.
    Methods: Nine patients with congenital HA treated with DAPT after a revascularization procedure performed for ACS have been enrolled and followed at the Angelo Bianchi Bonomi Haemophilia and Thrombosis Center in Milan between 2005 and September 2022. The safety and efficacy of DAPT with or without FVIII prophylaxis were assessed.
    Results: Ten ACS events occurred in the nine HA patients (four mild and five severe). All events were treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with deployment of 1 to 3 drug-eluting stents followed by DAPT for 1-12 months. All patients except one were treated with FVIII prophylaxis during DAPT aimed at achieving FVIII trough levels ≥20-30 IU/dL. DAPT was effective in all cases in preventing early ACS recurrence, with only a late recurrence. We observed two clinically relevant non-major bleeds (one in a patient without FVIII prophylaxis) and three minor bleeds. No venous thrombosis occurred.
    Conclusion: The long-term secondary antithrombotic prevention consisting of DAPT and FVIII prophylaxis achieving a trough level of 20-30 IU/dL can be effective and safe in HA patients.

    Abstract Objectives: There is uncertainty about effects of physical activity on physical performance, such as gait speed, among community-dwelling older adults according to their physical frailty status. We determined whether a long-term, moderate-intensity physical activity program was associated with different responses on gait speed over 4 m and 400 m based on physical frailty status.
    Design: Post hoc analysis from the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) (NCT01072500), a single-blind randomized clinical trial testing the effect of physical activity intervention compared with health education program.
    Setting and participants: We analyzed data on 1623 community-dwelling older adults (78.9 ± 5.2 years) at risk for mobility disability.
    Methods: Physical frailty was assessed at baseline using the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures frailty index. Gait speed over 4 m and 400 m was measured at baseline, and 6, 12, and 24 months.
    Results: We estimated significantly better 400-m gait speed at 6, 12, and 24 months for nonfrail older adults in the physical activity group, but not for frail participants. Among frail participants, physical activity showed a potentially clinically meaningful benefit on 400-m gait speed at 6 months (0.055; 95% CI 0.016-0.094; P = .005), compared with the healthy educational intervention, only in those who, at baseline, were able to rise from a chair 5 times without using their arms.
    Conclusions and implications: A well-structured physical activity program produced a faster 400-m gait speed potentially able to prevent mobility disability among physically frail individuals with preserved muscle strength in lower limbs.

    Abstract Despite the reducing incidence of chronic hepatitis infections, an unexpected increasing incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has being occurred. This may be explained by the increasing number of HCCs developing on steatosis (NAFLD) and steatohepatitis (NASH), related to metabolic risk factors (i.e. diabetes mellitus type II, obesity, metabolic syndrome), which are becoming emerging risk factors for HCC. This led to a growing scientific interest on the oncogenic mechanisms underlying the transition from NAFLD to HCC. However, patients with NASH receive significantly less HCC surveillance than patients with chronic hepatitis, and no specific preventive pharmacological treatments have recommended for NASH-related HCC. This review focuses on the pathogenic role of the emerging factors involved in the transition from NAFLD/NASH to HCC, including microbiota, insulin resistance, inflammation, lipid and bile acids metabolism. It will be emphasize their impact on the liver microenvironment, the implications in clinical practice and the future directions of research.

    Abstract Background: Factor V Leiden (FVL) and factor II c.∗97G>A (rs1799963) are genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Their contribution to coronary artery disease (CAD) is less clear.
    Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between FVL, rs1799963, and premature CAD in Iranians.
    Methods: We performed a genetic case-control study of 944 cases and 1081 controls from the premature CAD Milano-Iran study, including patients aged 18-55 (female) and 18-45 years (male) who underwent coronary angiography at the Tehran Heart Centre (Iran) in 2004-2011. Cases had luminal stenosis ≥50% in at least 1 main coronary artery or branch. Controls were age- and sex-matched with no CAD history. FVL and rs1799963 were genotyped using TaqMan SNP genotyping assays. Association was tested by logistic regression adjusted for matching factors and ethnicity. Effect modification by sex and cardiovascular risk factors (metabolic [obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes], and smoking) was assessed.
    Results: The risk of premature CAD was increased by 50% in FVL carriers (adjusted odds ratio [adjOR] 1.54 [95% CI, 0.95-2.48]) and slightly reduced in rs1799963 carriers (adjOR 0.71 [95% CI, 0.40-1.27]). These effects were more pronounced in women than men (FVL, adjOR 1.66 vs 1.25; rs1799963, adjOR 0.60 vs 1.07). The risk of premature CAD was substantially increased in carriers of FVL with at least 1 metabolic risk factor compared with noncarriers without metabolic risk factors (adjOR 25.14 [95% CI, 12.51-50.52]).
    Conclusion: FVL but not FII rs1799963 was associated with an increased risk of CAD in young Iranians. This risk increased considerably when combined with metabolic cardiovascular risk factors.
