Genomics and COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events
Vaccine Adverse ReactionVaccines routinely used are extremely safe; however, severe adverse events to vaccines do occur. As vaccination against COVID-19 has begun, adverse events to the vaccine, particularly Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT)/thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), and myocarditis/pericarditis, after COVID-19 vaccination have been reported worldwide. Study hypothesis: there are genetic factors that contribute to increased risks of particular COVID-19 vaccine-induced adverse events. The objective of the study is to determine if there are specific genetic factors strongly associated with each of the COVID-19 vaccine-induced adverse events (i.e., GBS, VITT/TTS, and myocarditis/pericarditis).
Comparison of Pre-test Probability Model for Heparin-induced Thrombocytopenia in Post-operative...
Heparin-induced ThrombocytopeniaHeparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a pro-thrombotic immunological condition that occurs in some patients exposed to heparin. The incidence of HIT is estimated at 0.1 to 0.3% of patients exposed to heparin, and rises to 3% in postoperative cardiac surgery. Cardiac surgery under CEC requires the use of high doses of heparin, which contributes to the increased incidence of HIT in this population. This high incidence is also explained by the comorbid profile of cardiac surgery patients, who often present risk factors for HIT (perioperative context, atrial fibrillation, organ failure, previous exposure to heparin, etc.). When it occurs postoperatively in cardiac surgery, there is a 28% increase in mortality, a 50% increase in morbidity, and an increase in hospitalization costs and length of stay. Although usually detected in medical wards on the basis of probability scores (4T, HEP), its diagnosis is less easy in postoperative cardiac surgery. Because of the many differential diagnoses, the screening scores usually used are less effective, and HIT is often diagnosed late, in patients who may have already developed a thromboembolic complication, which sometimes proves fatal. In addition, the diagnostic tests for HIT are compromised and lose their sensitivity in postoperative cardiac surgery, given the high incidence of seroconversion observed after extracorporeal circulation. Indeed, more than 50% of patients have antibodies to PF4/heparin, but only 1 to 2% of them have true HIT.These elements highlight the need to develop effective screening scores for HIT in postoperative cardiac surgery, given the complications to which patients are exposed in the event of underdiagnosis but also in the event of overdiagnosis. Other screening scores are being studied, not yet validated in cardiac surgery, such as the CPB score or the GFHT score. Early recognition of HIT would reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. The present study should make it possible to identify the most effective HIT probability score among those used in routine screening and thus to orient towards screening for this condition as early as possible, and consequently reduce the associated morbidity.

Impact of Thrombocytopenia and Platelet Transfusions on Neonatal Bleeding and Inflammation
Neonatal ThrombocytopeniaThis is a prospective observational study that was designed with the following two Specific Aims: To determine whether the Immature Platelet Fraction percentage (IPF%) and the Immature Platelet Count (IPC) are better predictors of bleeding than the platelet count alone in neonates of different gestational and post-conceptional ages and with different etiologies of thrombocytopenia; and To characterize the effects of neonatal thrombocytopenia and platelet transfusions (PLT Tx) on bleeding and on markers of systemic inflammation, thrombosis, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) formation in neonates with different underlying conditions.

Thrombocytopenia; DrugsTo identify the incidence of LIT among critically ill patients, as limited studies have only addressed this population. To evaluate the impact of several factors on the incidence of LIT, the time to onset of LIT, and the time to recovery of platelets. To study the effect of concurrent medications (enoxaparin, unfractinated heparin, piperacillin, carbapenems, tigecycline, fluconazole or voriconazole, digoxin, amiodarone, acetaminophen, tirofiban, statins, and antiepileptics) frequently used in critically ill patients on the incidence of LIT. To investigate the impact of possible medications with an antioxidant effect on the prevention of LIT. To assess the impact of LIT on composite end point (mortality, bleeding, and length of stay)
