Summary: This study aimed to identify additional clinical and epidemiological risks of arterial thrombosis, venous thrombosis, and pregnancy morbidities in individuals with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs)-positive carriers. The study analyzed a large cohort of patients and found that smoking, hypertension, and the presence of underlying autoimmune diseases were additional risk factors for arterial thrombosis. Smoking and the presence of underlying autoimmune diseases were additional risk factors for venous thrombosis, and the presence of underlying autoimmune diseases was significantly associated with pregnancy morbidities. Furthermore, higher levels of cell-free DNA and citrullinated histone H3 were observed in APS patients and aPL patients with autoimmune diseases.

Summary: The study revealed that approximately 80% of patients with persistently antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) positive remained stable in their aPL profiles over a 5-year follow-up period. Additionally, the decrease in triple aPL positivity at baseline was associated with increased odds of stable aPL profile.

Summary: A study found that different profiles of antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) are associated with the clinical manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), particularly higher levels of anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) and anti -b2 glycoprotein-I antibody (ab2GPI). The study also identified overlapping antibody detection methods and proposed a calculation method to assess the overall burden of aPL.

Summary: This study developed new APS classification criteria with high specificity, including clinical and laboratory domains, and improved classification accuracy through weighting and stratification.

Summary: This study suggests that negative aCL and/or anti-beta 2GPI at the time of acute DVT may not require further aPL testing, while LA should be checked after discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy. Positive aCL and/or anti-beta 2GPI at the time of acute DVT have a strong positive predictive value for APS and may impact therapeutic decisions.

Summary: Currently, the added value of antiphosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies testing in the diagnosis of obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome seems limited compared with other antibodies. However, it may be useful in specific subsets of patients.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review on the additional treatments used in refractory and high-risk antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) pregnancies. The results showed that combination therapy with IVIG and PEX achieved a 100% live birth rate in refractory APS pregnancies, while Pravastatin, IA, and PEX showed higher live birth rates in high-risk APS pregnancies.

Summary: This study compared the influence of aPLs on global and cardiovascular damage in patients with SLE diagnosed before and after the year 2000. The results showed that the effects of aPL on damage accrual in SLE patients have been reduced over recent years, possibly due to the widespread use of HCQ and improved thromboprophylaxis.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the outcomes of pregnancies in aPL-positive patients, revealing that 27% of pregnancies resulted in early pregnancy loss before 10 weeks, while 23% of the remaining 40 pregnancies had composite outcomes related to aPL.

Summary: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a leading cause of thrombosis, with pathogenic antibodies circulating at stable levels in blood, but thrombotic events often requiring a second hit. Investigators have turned to animal models to explore APS mechanisms, with each model having potential advantages and disadvantages.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the long-term risk of thrombosis after pregnancy in women with purely obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome (OAPS) and identify the risk factors for thrombosis in OAPS patients. The incidence of thrombotic events was not significantly different between OAPS patients and aPL carriers, with arterial thrombosis and cerebrovascular events being the most frequent types of vascular involvement. The presence of lupus anticoagulant was a significant risk factor for thrombosis in both OAPS patients and aPL carriers who developed thrombosis.

Summary: Complement is a major driver of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and a promising therapeutic target. Reliable, rapid-turnaround biomarkers are needed in APS to predict adverse clinical outcomes and determine who will benefit most from complement inhibition. Current studies highlight the inconsistencies in testing, suggesting that cell-based testing or multiplex panels may be most clinically relevant.

Summary: The presence of aPL in COVID-19 patients is significantly associated with thrombosis, with potential mechanisms including early immune dysregulation and delayed aPL-mediated thrombosis. Additionally, aPL found in COVID-19 patients may preexist before the infection.

Summary: Histones were initially known as DNA packaging proteins, but later were found to have antimicrobial properties extracellularly and also potentially harmful effects on the body. They are involved in triggering inflammatory and coagulation responses in different cell types.
