  • Preventing Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in Pregnant Women
    Oct 4 2024

    Join us for an insightful interview with Professor Saskia Middeldorp from Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, as she and our host Dr. Isabel Olivera-Martinez, discuss the medical and ethical challenges of conducting randomized clinical trials to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy.

    VTE is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, and poses significant risks to pregnant women. Together, explore the relevance of prophylactic treatments like low molecular weight heparin, and the ethical and financial complexities of conducting trials in this population. Learn about the ALIFE2 trial results, that assessed whether LMWH heparin should be used in women with recurrent miscarriage and inherited thrombophilia; well as the latest research and guidelines aimed at improving care for pregnant women at risk of VTE.

  • AI-driven Morphology in Hematology
    Sep 6 2024

    In this podcast episode, we will explore the application of artificial intelligence to morphological diagnosis in hematology. Listening to our host, Dr Mahesh Prahladan (University of Suffolk, UK) you will learn how innovative machine learning and deep learning models have led to the development of AI systems that have been applied in various areas of hematology, including digital pathology.

    As these systems have shown promise in improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, they also have a potential for enlarging accessibility to precise diagnostics, through remote digital morphology, and have potential applications in the prognostic stratification of patients.

    According to Dr Prahladan, we are not ready to dispose of our microscopes yet, but automation may become a useful and time-saving tool in the hands of morphologists.
