In this episode, Rich and Pip discuss vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. They critique a recent paper that has shown that VITT has been around before vaccines against Covid-19. Importantly, they discuss which patients should be tested for spontaneous VITT- and HIT-like syndromes, and discuss a recent case.
The paper is: Schönborn L. et al. Anti-PF4 immunothrombosis without proximate heparin or adenovirus vector vaccine exposure. Blood. 2023 Dec 28;142(26):2305-2314.

#12 Vitamin K and Vascular Calcification with Asim Cengiz Akbulut
In this episode, I interview Asim Cengiz Akbulut, who is a post-doctoral researcher and Head of Stem Cell Research University Maastrict, Nethelands. We talk about a recent conference that we met at called MCCT, a small conference on coagulation with loads of discussion groups, and we talk about Cengiz' research into vascular calcification using inducible pluripotent stem cells, as well as a bit on non-coagulant effects of vitamin K. It's jam packed with interesting science. You can find out more about Cengiz via LinkedIn (https://nl.linkedin.com/in/asim-cengiz-akbulut-95319477) and read a really neat review on vitamin K that he coauthored here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6413124/
