TL;DR: It is suggested that patients with LVHT/NC with systolic dysfunction or AF should receive oral anticoagulation as primary prophylaxis against S/E.
Abstract: Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT/NC) is associated with stroke or embolism (S/E). The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the rate, risk factors, and cause of S/E in patients with LVHT/NC. The medical records of patients with LVHT/NC were retrospectively screened for S/E. For stroke classification, the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) criteria were applied, and for peripheral embolism, angiographic findings were used. Baseline clinical, echocardiographic, and electrocardiographic data were compared between patients with and without S/E. In 22 of 144 patients (15%), stroke (n = 21) or peripheral embolism (n = 1) had occurred. The cause of S/E was cardioembolic (n = 14), atherosclerotic (n = 5), or undetermined (n = 3). S/E occurred before (n = 14) and after (n = 8) the diagnosis of LVHT/NC. Only mean age (60 vs 53 years, p <0.05) and the prevalence of hypertension (32% vs 59%, p <0.05) were higher in patients with S/E than in those without S/E. Among patients with cardioembolic S/E, 13 of 14 had either atrial fibrillation (AF) or systolic dysfunction, and AF as well as systolic dysfunction were found in 4 of 14 patients. In conclusion, S/E in patients with LVHT/NC is not always cardioembolic but may also have an atherosclerotic cause. In the absence of AF or left ventricular systolic dysfunction, cardioembolic S/E is rare in patients with LVHT/NC. These findings suggest that patients with LVHT/NC with systolic dysfunction or AF should receive oral anticoagulation as primary prophylaxis against S/E.

TL;DR: It is necessary to understanding why users decide to lurk, what activities lurkers engage in, and whether the online environment is more valuable by turning lurkers into posters, to understand why lurking is important in online research.
Abstract: Little research focuses on lurking in the online environment or considers lurking as a valid and important form of online behavior. This may be due to the fact that there are a number of definitions, and most of them focus on a lack of participation or contribution or see it as a problematic behavior that needs to be changed. Such definitions have given lurkers a negative connotation. They need to be considered as an important factor in online research, starting with a clearer and more positive definition of lurking. It is also necessary to understanding why users decide to lurk, what activities lurkers engage in, and whether the online environment is more valuable by turning lurkers into posters.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that irrespective of their cellular origin, EVs support the propagation of coagulation via the exposure of phosphatidylserine, while the expression of functional tissue factor on EVs appears to be limited to pathological conditions.
Abstract: Cells release diverse types of vesicles constitutively or in response to proliferation, injury, inflammation, or stress. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial in intercellular communication, and there is emerging evidence for their roles in inflammation, cancer, and thrombosis. We investigated the thrombogenicity of platelet-derived EVs, which constitute the majority of circulating EVs in human blood, and assessed the contributions of phosphatidylserine and tissue factor exposure on thrombin generation. Addition of platelet EVs to vesicle-free human plasma induced thrombin generation in a dose-dependent manner, which was efficiently inhibited by annexin V, but not by anti-tissue factor antibodies, indicating that it was primarily due to the exposure of phosphatidylserine on platelet EVs. Platelet EVs exhibited higher thrombogenicity than EVs from unstimulated monocytic THP-1 cells, but blockade of contact activation significantly reduced thrombin generation by platelet EVs. Stimulation of monocytic cells with lipopolysaccharide enhanced their thrombogenicity both in the presence and in the absence of contact activation, and thrombin generation was efficiently blocked by anti-tissue factor antibodies. Our study provides evidence that irrespective of their cellular origin, EVs support the propagation of coagulation via the exposure of phosphatidylserine, while the expression of functional tissue factor on EVs appears to be limited to pathological conditions.
