Antiphospholipid Antibodies: Anticardiolipin and the Lupus Anticoagulant in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and in Non-SLE Disorders

TL;DR: In this article, the prevalence of lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin in systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) and in non-SLE disorders was determined.

Randomised controlled trial of aspirin and aspirin plus heparin in pregnant women with recurrent miscarriage associated with phospholipid antibodies (or antiphospholipid antibodies)

TL;DR: The prognosis for pregnancies in women with recurrent miscarriage associated with phospholipid antibodies is poor but this randomised controlled trial found that the prognosis improved with low dose aspirin and was further improved with the addition of low dose heparin to the aspirin.

Antiphospholipid Antibodies: Anticardiolipin and the Lupus Anticoagulant in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and in Non-SLE Disorders: Prevalence and Clinical Significance

TL;DR: The results of predominantly retrospective series suggest that for certain persons (patients with SLE or closely related disorders) antiphospholipid antibodies may be important risk factors for thrombosis, neurologic disease,Thrombocytopenia, and fetal loss.

TL;DR: Few diabetics register on the Disabled Persons Register, but those with disabling complications may find it advantageous to do so and to seek the advice of their local disablement resettlement officer.

Use of Antithrombotic Agents During Pregnancy

TL;DR: Oral anticoagulant therapy should be avoided in the weeks before delivery because of the risk of serious perinatal bleeding caused by the trauma of delivery to the antICOagulated fetus, and the safety of aspirin during the first trimester of pregnancy is still a subject of debate.

Arterial thrombosis, intrauterine death and "lupus" anticoagulant: detection of immunoglobulin interfering with prostacyclin formation

TL;DR: In a 31-year-old woman with a history of recurrent arterial thrombosis, a "lupus" anticoagulant was identified and an antibody in this patient may interfere with the production or release of PGI2 by the vessel wall, possibly by interfering with the availability of arachidonic acid.

Thrombosis in Patients with the Lupus Anticoagulant

TL;DR: It is suggested that patients with the lupus anticoagulant may be at increased risk of thrombosis.

A clinical study of the lupus anticoagulant

TL;DR: The lupus-type anticoagulant, an inhibitor of the prothrombin activator complex, was demonstrated in 58 patients and was augmented in 67% of these patients by a cofactor present in normal plasma.
