Episode Notes In this episode, DASON Clinical Pharmacist Liaison Dr. Angelina Davis chats with us about several articles about antibiotic prophylaxis for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis. The materials reviewed in this episode can be found on the DASON Digest page on our website: https://dason.medicine.duke.edu/blog/sbp-prophylaxis-what-were-doing-why-were-doing-it-and-should-we-keep-doing-it For more information about DASON, please visit: https://dason.medicine.duke.edu/

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is responsible for 9–30% of pregnancy-related mortality in high resource countries and remains a significant, increasing cause of severe maternal morbidity. Peripartum, 50% of VTE events occur in the postpartum interval, which has a 6-fold higher risk compared to antepartum. There is wide variation in LMWH pharmacological postpartum prophylaxis guidance. The RCOG, for example, recommends 10 days of LMWH for all postop CS patients unless it was elective, and additional risk factors exist. The ACOG uses a more selective approach. However, on Jan 16, 2025, a new multicenter retrospective study from the US is raising questions about the efficacy of postpartum VTE pharmacologic therapy. Is there really no need for pp VTE pharmacologic therapy? Or does the answer lie in the reality of VTE as a “low frequency, high acuity” event? Listen in for details!

In this episode, we review the recommendations from the 2024 SCCM/ASHP stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines and highlight three of the more recent landmark critical care trials investigating the role of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Key Concepts After 25 years, the stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines have been updated by SCCM and ASHP. These guidelines make 13 recommendations in a PICO format. Three large, landmark randomized controlled trials (SUP-ICU, PEPTIC, and REVISE) have significantly contributed to the body of literature regarding stress ulcer prophylaxis. The SCCM/ASHP guidelines recommend stress ulcer prophylaxis in patients with coagulopathy, shock, chronic liver disease, and possibly in neurocritical care patients. They do not specifically recommend prophylaxis in mechanically ventilated patients; this is a controversial recommendation. The SCCM/ASHP guidelines equally prefer proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) drug therapies given either intravenously or orally. The prophylaxis regimen should be continued until the indication for prophylaxis has resolved or the patient leaves the ICU. References MacLaren R, Dionne JC, Granholm A, et al.

VTE prophylaxis is more than just some squeezy leg socks and a one-size fits all dose of enoxaparin!  Ever wonder how VTE prophylaxis is similar to constipation?  Have you or a loved one been hurt by a hospital administrator telling you that VTE is a never event?  Come with us, and our special guest Dr. Bryan Cotton, on this journey to the frontier of research attempting to debunk this myth and improve patient care by reducing VTE rates in trauma patients.   Hosts: - Michael Cobler-Lichter, MD, PGY4/R2: University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center @mdcobler (X/twitter) - Eva Urrechaga, MD, PGY-8, Vascular Surgery Fellow University of Pennsylvania Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center General Surgery Residency @urrechisme (X/twitter) - Eugenia Kwon, MD, Trauma/Surgical Critical Care Attending: Loma Linda University Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center Trauma/CC Fellowship - Brandon Parker, DO, Assistant Professor of Surgery, 5 years in practice University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center @BrandonParkerDO (X/twitter) - Bryan Cotton, MD, MPH, FACS, Professor of Surgery, 20 years in practice  University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston/Red Duke Trauma Institute at Memorial Herman Hospital @bryanacotton1 (X/twitter) Learning Objectives: - Describe the rationale for the addition of aspirin to chemoprophylactic regimens for VTE -  Identify appropriate screening systems for trauma patients at high risk for VTE -  Describe the rationale for monitoring anti factor Xa levels in the trauma population receiving VTE chemoprophylaxis - List the major conclusions of the two studies discussed regarding the addition of aspirin to VTE chemoprophylaxis regimens in trauma patients, and the change in antithrombin activity levels over time in relation to enoxaparin responsiveness in polytrauma patients Quick Hits: 1.     On adjusted analysis, the standard VTE PPX plus aspirin group had a lower OR of developing VTE, though limitations of this study highlight need for future prospective work 2.     Trauma patients often suffer from decreased activity of antithrombin 3, which may mediate the relatively higher rates of VTE in this population. 3.     Trauma patients who went on to develop VTE were more likely to not achieve satisfactory anti Xa levels, with a VTE rate of 30% in the never-responder group, the group for which Xa levels were never higher than 0.2 4.     Ex vivo supplementation of antithrombin seems to improve enoxaparin responsiveness.  Remember, enoxaparin and heparin are HELPING AT3, not the other way around References 1.     Lammers D, Scerbo M, Davidson A, et al.

In this episode of "ASTCT Talks," Dr. Shernan Holtan sits down with Dr. Samer Al-Homsi, as he shares his insights on the future of graft versus host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, particularly in haploidentical transplantation. Dr. Al-Homsi delves into the innovative CAST regimen, which combines post-transplant cyclophosphamide, abatacept and short-duration tacrolimus. Learn about the challenges, breakthroughs and promising results that could revolutionize how we approach GVHD prevention and treatment, making a future without GVHD a reality. Listen in as we explore the potential for reducing transplant toxicities and the impact on patient care. About Dr. Samer Al-Homsi A. Samer Al-Homsi, MD, MBA, is the System Chief of Blood and Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy at Northwell Health Cancer Institute and serves as Director of Faculty and Academic Affairs in Medical Oncology. He is a Professor of Medicine at the Zucker School of Medicine and of Cancer Research at Feinstein Institutes of Medical Research. Previously, he was the Executive Director of Blood and Marrow Transplantation at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Dr. Al-Homsi graduated from Damascus Medical School and trained in Hematology and Medical Oncology in France. He completed his residency at Advocate Health Care and fellowship at the University of Massachusetts. He has led programs in Malignant Hematology and Blood and Marrow Transplantation at several institutions, including NYU Langone Health. His research focuses on preventing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), developing innovative approaches such as the CyBor and CAST regimens, particularly in haploidentical transplants. Dr. Al-Homsi aims to address healthcare disparities due to donor shortages among minority groups. Dr. Al-Homsi is also the President of the American Arab Assembly of Cellular Therapy and Transplantation (AAACTT), promoting collaboration among its members. About Dr. Shernan Holtan Dr. Holtan is a clinical/translational investigator. Her work focuses on increasing resilience, both at the tissue level to prevent and treat GVHD, and at the whole person level, designing exercise programs to mitigate cancer therapy-associated aging. In GVHD, her early work focused on epidermal growth factor and pregnancy hormones to facilitate tissue repair in GVHD, which led to a successful phase II study for the treatment of high-risk acute GVHD and discovery of the GVHD biomarker amphiregulin. More recently, she has led and published two prospective clinical trials regarding the use of PTCy as GVHD prophylaxis, the results of which are changing practice around the globe. Dr. Holtan has also been a competitive powerlifter, setting a national record in 2019. She has leveraged her knowledge regarding strength training into translational studies and clinical trials that are helping to reverse some of the damage done by high-dose chemotherapy and radiation. Through her multidimensional accomplishments, Dr. Holtan has demonstrated a unique and powerful intersection of medical research and physical resilience, redefining standards of care in HCT, and innovatively combating the deleterious effects of cancer treatment.

This week we delve into the world of antibiotic prophylaxis for dental procedures. What are the data to support its use in the congenital heart patient? Why has this been such a difficult topic to study? What do we now know about this topic and what still remains unanswered? Given the low prevalence but dire consequences of this disease, how can investigators consider studying this topic in the future? Is there adequate equipoise to proceed with a randomized controlled trial? We speak with Advanced Imaging Fellow at Boston Children's Hospital, Dr. Francesca Sperotto of Harvard University about her recent multicenter meta-analysis of 30 studies including over one million cases of endocarditis. DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2024.0873

Let's delve into some of these fascinating linguistic gems: Direct Derivatives: Phylactic: (adjective) Protective, preserving, tending to guard against disease or harmful influences. (e.g., Phylactic measures implemented during a pandemic) Aphylaxis: (noun) The absence of natural defenses against disease or pathogens. (e.g., Immunodeficiency disorders cause aphaxia) Prophylaxis: (noun) Preventive measures taken to protect against disease or infection. (e.g., Vaccinations are a form of prophylaxis) Phylactocarp: (noun) A type of fruit with a tough outer covering that protects the seeds inside. (e.g., Walnuts are phylactocarps) Phylactolaematous: (adjective) Describing a group of aquatic mosses with protective capsules enclosing their reproductive organs. Extended Family: Protectorate: (noun) A country under the protection of another, usually more powerful, country. (e.g., The British Protectorate of North Borneo) Sheriff: (noun) A high-ranking law enforcement officer in a county or region. (Etymology: Old English "scirerefa," meaning "shire-reeve" - guardian of the shire) Philanthropy: (noun) The love of humanity, manifested in charitable acts. (Etymology: "philos" - loving, "anthropos" - human) Phylar: (noun) A leader of a tribe or clan, often associated with military duties. (e.g., In ancient Sparta, the Phylarchoi led the Moirai) Phylary: (noun) A tribe or clan, especially in ancient Greece. (e.g., The Athenians were divided into phylai) Fiancé(e): (noun) A person to whom one is engaged to be married. (Etymology: French "fié(e)," from Latin "fidare" - to trust) Spy: (noun) A person employed to secretly obtain information on an enemy or rival. (Etymology: Old French "espier," possibly from Latin "specere" - to look) Metaphorical Extensions: Safeguard: (verb) To protect or keep something safe from harm. (Metaphor: A guard standing before a safe) Shelter: (noun) A place providing protection from danger or bad weather. (Metaphor: A roof sheltering people from the rain) Vigilance: (noun) The state of keeping watchful and alert. (Metaphor: A sleepless guard vigilant against enemies) Defend: (verb) To protect someone or something from attack or harm. (Metaphor: A warrior defending a castle) Etymology in Action: Phylactic: The "k" at the end is a remnant of the Greek suffix "-ikos," meaning "of or relating to." Therefore, phylactic translates to "of or relating to a guard or protector." Philanthropy: The word combines "philos" (loving) and "anthropos" (human), literally meaning "love of humanity." This reflects the underlying principle of caring for and protecting one's fellow humans. Sheriff: The journey from "phylarch" to "sheriff" shows how language adapts over time. The Old English "scirerefa" directly translates to "shire-reeve," showcasing the historical role of a sheriff as the guardian of a shire (an administrative division).

In this episode, we talk about GVHD prophylaxis, including recent data on post-transplant cyclophosphamide and abatacept with Dr. Shernan Holtan from the University of Minnesota. Here are the key trials we discussed:1. BMT CTN 1203 trial: Three prophylaxis regimens (tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and cyclophosphamide; tacrolimus, methotrexate, and bortezomib; or tacrolimus, methotrexate, and maraviroc) versus tacrolimus and methotrexate for prevention of GVHD in allogeneic transplantation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30824040/ 2.
