Positive but limited results have been reported in patients with inherited thrombophilia. Using an Italian, multicentre, prospective registry of consecutive patients presenting with symptomatic, acute VTE, we aimed to assess which factors are involved in making the choice of the drug that best fits the patient's risk profile in a large real-world setting of VTE patients. We investigated 4,866 VTE patients who took oral anticoagulants in the period between 2012 and April 2018 to prevent a new thromboembolic episode. The large majority of patients who underwent thrombophilic screening, regardless of the results obtained, were prescribed direct oral anticoagulants rather than conventional anticoagulant therapy (p<0.001). During anticoagulation, bleeding events occurred more frequently in patients on conventional anticoagulant therapy (4.2%) than r risk of VTE recurrence during anticoagulation. Pathogen Reduction Technologies (PRTs) are broad spectrum nucleic acid replication-blocking antimicrobial treatments designed to mitigate risk of infection from blood product transfusions. Thiazole Orange (TO), a photosensitizing nucleic acid dye, was previously shown to photoinactivate several types of bacterial and viral pathogens in RBC suspensions without adverse effects on function. In this report we extended TO treatment to platelet concentrates (PCs) to see whether it is compatible with in vitro platelet functions also, and thus, could serve as a candidate technology for further evaluation. PCs were treated with TO, and an effective treatment dose for inactivation of Staphylococci was identified. Platelet function and physiology were then evaluated by various assays in vitro. Phototreatment of PCs yielded significant reduction (≥4-log) in Staphylococci a
