TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a case of chronic pancreatitis in which an autoimmune mechanism is involved in the etiology and summarized the cases of pancreatitis suspected of being caused by an auto-antibody-positive mechanism in the Japanese and English literature.

TL;DR: The results indicate that patients with AvWS developing inhibitors to vWF are likely to have bleeding problems and might be resistant to treatment of underlying diseases and/or therapy with DDAVP for bleeding to AvWS.

TL;DR: The results suggest that prothrombotic states and endothelial damage may be caused by the conditioning regimen and/or acute GVHD during BMT; thrombomodulin values on day 14 post BMT may be useful in surveillance for TMA because of endothelial cell injury.

TL;DR: Ezetimibe restored the postprandial dysregulation of lipid but did not affect glucose metabolism in a double-blind randomized crossover trial in obese men with hypertriglyceridaemia.

TL;DR: Screening using the cutoff levels of SF and PAI-1 may be useful and shows high sensitivity in predicting postoperative VTE in the early phase after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).
