N2 - The 2.6 Å (1 Å = 0.1 nm) resolution structure has been determined for the glycosylated Fab (fragment antigen binding) of an IgM (Yvo) obtained from a subject with Waldenströms macroglobulinaemia. Dynamic light scattering was used to estimate the gel point and monitor the formation of an ordered hydroscopic gel of Yvo IgM upon cooling. If a cryoglobulin forms gels in peripheral tissues and organs, the associated swelling and damage to microvasculature can result in considerable morbidity and mortality. The ...

Fulminant gangrene of the fingers, toes and nose developed in a 57-year-old woman with Escherichia coli pneumonia. Cryoglobulinemia was noted, and the cryoglobulin was identified as IgM-IgG with anti-I cold agglutinin activity. The cold agglutinins possessed potent lymphocytotoxic and monocytotoxic activity and weaker granulocytotoxic activity. Treatment with plasmapheresis, steroids and antibiotics led to complete clinical recovery, although amputation of several toes was necessary. The patient died 1 1/2 years later; the main findings at autopsy were chronic and acute pyelonephritis and acute bacterial endocarditis. This seems to be the first case of IgM-IgG cold agglutinemia occurring during the course of E. coli infection and the third case of fulminant gangrene complicating transient cold agglutinemia.. ...

BACKGROUND:Mixed cryoglobulinaemia (MC), a systemic vasculitis associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in ,90% of cases, is frequently complicated by multiple organ involvement. The prevalence of thyroid disorders in MC has not yet been studied. AIM:To investigate the prevalence and clinical features of thyroid involvement in patients with HCV-associated MC (HCV + MC). DESIGN:Case-control study. METHODS:HCV + MC patients (n = 93, 17 men and 76 women, mean +/- SD age 63 +/- 10 years, mean disease duration 14 +/- 7 years) consecutively referred to the Rheumatology Unit were matched by sex and age (+/- 2 years) to (i) 93 patients with chronic C hepatitis (CH) without MC and (ii) 93 healthy (HCV-negative) controls from the local population. Measurements included prevalence of hypo- or hyperthyroidism, thyroid autoantibodies, thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer. RESULTS:By McNemars chi(2) test, the following thyroid abnormalities were significantly more frequent in HCV + MC patients than in ...

We describe a patient being investigated for anaemia where the lipaemia index on a Beckman Coulter DxC800 analyser was markedly elevated and out of keeping with the visual appearance of the serum. Subsequent investigation revealed a monoclonal IgM kappa immunoglobulin with type I cryoglobulin behaviour. The patient was then diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma. We later identified a second patient with a similar anomalous index with an IgM lambda paraprotein, and a known marginal zone splenic lymphoma but were unable to confirm cryoglobulin behaviour prior to treatment. A review of 50 consecutive IgM paraproteins revealed no other anomalous lipaemia indices. We postulate that it is the properties of the paraprotein that determine its cryoglobulin behaviour that also render it susceptible to precipitation in the index diluent, not the fact of it being an IgM paraprotein per se. This appears to be the first reported case of a paraprotein identified following an anomalous lipaemia ...

The extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis C were reviewed in the November issue of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine. The review points out that cryoglobulinemia is the most strongly associated manifestation. Most cases of what was formerly called essential mixed cryoglobulinemia are in fact due to hepatitis C. Most patients with circulating cryoglobulins are asymptomatic, with about 10% manifesting the typical features of purpura, arthralgia, renal disease and neuropathy, according to the review ...

In recent years, the search for a substitute to cancellous bone autograft in large bone defects has focused on composite materials. Several parameters such as the nature of the conductive material, differentiation state of implanted cells, and the local supplementation in growth factors have been shown to be crucial in bone repair. Owing to the number of parameters to be tested, their relative importance and interactions still require further basic research. We focused our study on a blood-derived product as an easily available source of clinical-grade growth factors: a platelet glue obtained from cryoprecipitation of apheresis platelet products (PGCAP). We showed that, in vitro, PGCAP enhanced both proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived MSCs. We confirmed these results by demonstrating the ability of PGCAP to improve ectopic bone formation in mice after implantation of MSC-loaded biphasic biomaterials. Interestingly, we showed that this approach was more efficient ...

Specimen Collection and Handling: Cryoglobulins come out of solution below body temperature. Serum must be obtained from clotted blood maintained at body temperature, from time of withdrawal. If blood is kept at lower temperatures, the cryoprecipitate may centrifuge out with the blood clot. The following procedure must be followed or the specimen is NOT acceptable.. CAUTION: Specimen is not acceptable when drawn on a patient receiving heparin or any other anti-coagulant. When a Dialysis/Apheresis patient has a catheter with heparin, 10 ml or more must be wasted (discarded) before specimen for Cryoglobulin is drawn. Peripheral stick is preferred. (Heparin is anti-Complementary and will therefore breakdown the Cryo immune complexes which contain complement producing a false negative or reduced Cryocrit.) Other anti-coagulants chelate Ca and deplete complement. Prepare transporting chamber: Select a receptacle that will maintain a fairly constant temperature. (Patients styrofoam pitchers with lids ...

DelveInsights Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) - Epidemiology Forecast 2030 report delivers an in-depth understanding of the disease, historical, and forecasted epidemiology of Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.

Here are some tips for warming up quickly after being outside in cold weather, or stuck in a chilly room, and you have cold agglutinin disease.

Cold Agglutinin Disease is a rare type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)in which the bodys immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own red blood cells. This causes red blood cells to be prematurely destroyed (hemolysis) leading to anemia and other associated signs and symptoms such as extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, trouble breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat and pulse, bluish skin and pain, particularly in areas exposed to the cold. CAD patients are more susceptible to blood clots, strokes, and heart issues than the average person ...

Treatment:. Patients with few clinical symptoms and mild anemia may not require treatment but only avoidance of cold. Keeping the patient warm may be sufficient treatment. Treat any underlying infection e.g. Clarithromycin or Azithromycin for Mycoplasma pneumoniae.. Anemia is generally mild. Only patients who have serious symptoms related to anemia or have a Raynaud-type syndrome that constitutes a threat to life or quality of life require active therapy.. Folic acid supplements for prevention and treatment of folate deficiency should be considered.. The disease is usually refractory to corticosteroids.. Rituximab may be an option for treatment in some cases.. In the presence of underlying lymphoma, chlorambucil or oral cyclophosphamide may be helpful.. Splenectomy is usually ineffective for the treatment of cold agglutinin disease, because the liver is the predominant site of sequestration. However, if the patient has splenomegaly, then the disease may respond to splenectomy. More importantly, ...

We retrospectively studied 232 patients with cold agglutinin disease (CAD) at 24 centers in five countries. In Norway and a northern region of Italy, the study was close to being population-based. For the first time, we demonstrate 4-fold differences between cold and warmer climates regarding prevalence (20 versus 5 cases/million) and incidence (1.9 versus 0.48 cases/million/year). Mean baseline hemoglobin level was 9.3 g/dL, but 27% had hemoglobin , 8 g/dL. Identification of typical features of CAD-associated lymphoproliferative disorder in the bone marrow was greatly increased by centralized biopsy assessment. CAD seems to be associated with a slightly increased risk of venous thrombosis. This work included a follow-up study of therapies, focusing on the long-term outcomes of the rituximab plus bendamustine and rituximab plus fludarabine regimens. Rituximab plus bendamustine therapy resulted in responses in 35 (78%) of 45 patients; 24 (53%) achieved complete response. Interestingly, these ...

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bioverativ Inc., a Sanofi company dedicated to transforming the lives of people with rare blood disorders, today announced results from a new, population-based retrospective study that found a greater than twofold increased risk of mortality in people with cold agglutinin disease (CAD) within the first five years after diagnosis. The study, which is the first to compare overall survival among people with CAD with that of the general population, also showed that the increased risk of mortality and life-threatening thromboembolic events (TEs) such as stroke and heart attack was evident starting in the first year after diagnosis. These data were presented at the 23rd Annual Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA). The results of our survival analysis contribute to the growing body of evidence that indicate that CAD is a more severe disease than previously thought, said Sigbjørn Berentsen, MD, PhD, Consultant Hematologist, Department of Research and ...

Waldenströms macroglobulinaemia is an uncommon, low grade, small cell lymphoma with monoclonal IgM production. This protein accounts for the increased plasma viscosity often seen in this disease, and causes some of the most frequent symptoms. Other less common protein complications include cold agglutinin haemolytic anaemia, peripheral neuropathy, amyloidosis, and cryoglobulinaemia.5. The term cryoglobulinaemia refers to the presence in the serum of one or more immunoglobulins that precipitate reversibly at a temperature below 37°C. According to Brouet et al,4 cryoglobulins can be classified on the basis of their immunoglobulin composition as type I, consisting of a monoclonal immunoglobulin alone; type II, as a mixture of monoclonal and polyclonal immunoglobulins; and type III, consisting of polyclonal immunoglobulins. They are found in small quantities in normal serum,6 but in large concentrations in many pathological conditions. Whereas type III cryoglobulinaemia is mainly noted as the ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the major cause of mixed cryoglobulinaemia (MC), an immune complex (IC)-mediated systemic vasculitis mainly involving the small blood vessels. The precise mechanism of cryoprotein production is currently unknown. HCV virions and non-enveloped core protein participate in the formation of cold-insoluble ICs. Cryoglobulinaemic patients represent a distinct HCV-infected population, in that significant HCV enrichment of lymphoid cells is accompanied by evidence of productive virus infection and increased frequency of B cells. Liver, the major target organ of HCV, is the site of accumulation of inflammatory infiltrates that shares many architectural features with lymphoid tissue and reflects a distorted homeostatic balance between factors that enhance cellular recruitment, proliferation and retention, and those that decrease cellularity (cell death and emigration). There is now overwhelming evidence of a direct contribution to B-cell growth and survival through ...

The following laboratory tests should be conducted to rule out other causes of Raynaud phenomenon and neuropathy: complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and measurement of antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor, cryoglobulin, cold agglutinin, random glucose, thyroid-stimulating hormone, vitamin B12, and red blood cell folate levels.16. If HAVS is suspected, patients should be referred to an occupational medicine specialist for further investigations, especially if symptoms are severe or if work-related compensation is sought. Although there is currently no standardized diagnostic test for HAVS,2 additional investigations might be ordered by specialists to objectively measure severity, rule out other causes, and guide management. Objective evidence of the condition might also facilitate compensation claims and the implementation of workplace modifications.. Vascular assessments might include digital plethysmography, which detects differences in finger pulse waveforms before and ...

Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) is a rare form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with limited epidemiological and clinical data. We used the Danish National Patient Registries to examine CAD occurrence and risk of thromboembolic events (TEs) and mortality in CAD patients compared with a matched cohort from the general population in Denmark. We identified 72 patients diagnosed with CAD and 720 matched controls between 1999 and 2013. For 2013, the most recent year of study, crude incidence of CAD was 0.18 per 100 000 inhabitants per year and prevalence was 1.26 per 100 000 inhabitants. Risk of TEs was higher in the CAD patient cohort than in the comparison cohort at 1 year (7.2% of CAD patients had TEs vs 1.9% of comparisons), 3 years (9.0% vs 5.3%), and 5 years (11.5% vs 7.8%) after the index date. The median survival was 8.5 years. CAD patients had increased mortality compared with the general population cohort (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-3.06; P 5 .020), ...

Background: CAD is a complement-driven autoimmune hemolytic anemia in which IgM antibodies bind to red blood cells (RBC) at lower temperatures. Although exposure to cold may precipitate RBC agglutination, we recently reported a lack of seasonal variability in anemia, hemolysis, and healthcare utilization. Thromboembolic events (TE) are a newly reported but consequential complication of CAD. The effect of colder weather on TE risk is unknown. We therefore compared TE rates in CAD patients during all seasons in the US.. Methods: CAD patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2016 were retrospectively identified within the Optum clinical-claims database. TE were identified using diagnostic codes. TE risk was compared among seasons using logistic regression adjusted for age, sex, race, region, year, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and clustering within subjects.. Results: 808 CAD patients (63% female; 66% ≥65 years old) were identified. 204 CAD patients experienced 287 TE; 56 (20%) were in summer, 57 (20%) ...

The typical form is a membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis with a particular monocyte infiltration. In the most severe cases, there is occlusion of the capillary lumina by the same immunoglobulin constituents of the cryoprecipitate. While it is generally accepted that the hyaline thrombi are endoluminal aggregates of IgG-IgM immune complexes, probably favored by high endocapillary concentration of cryoglobulins, the modality of generation has not been studied. To study the dynamic formation of such thrombi, we reproduced an experimental model of ...

The term cryosupernatant (also called cryo-poor plasma , cryoprecipitate depleted ) refers to plasma from which the cryoprecipitate has been removed. Components The resulting plasma has reduced levels of factor VIII (FVIII), von Willebrand factor (VWF), factor XIII (FXIII), fibronectin and fibrinogen . While the levels of FVIII are greatly reduced, levels of fibrinogen can be as much as 70% of original levels. Uses Cryosupernatant plasma can be used when replacement of FVIII is not required, and is indicated for plasma exchange for patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) as well as for treatment of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) by plasma exchange, when plasma exchange is indicated.

The diagnosis of secondary cryofibrinogenemia also requires evidence for the cited infectious, malignant, premalignant vasculitis, and autoimmune disorders while the diagnosis of primary cryofibriongenemia requires a lack of evidence for 1) the cited associated disorders, 2) other vascular occlusive diseases, and 3) cryoglobulinemia. Studies on the treatment of cryofibrinoginemic disease have involved relatively few patients, are limited primarily to case reports, and differ based on whether the disease is primary or secondary. In all cases of cryofibrinogenemic disease, however, patients should avoid the exposure of afflicted body parts to cold weather or other environmental triggers of symptoms and avoid using cigarettes or other tobacco products. In severe cases, these individuals also risk developing ...

Cold Agglutinin hemolytic anemia due to cold autoantibodies associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae is rare. Optimal treatment includes antibiotics and maintenance of a constant warm environment for the patient. This treatment, however, may result in a prolonged, costly, and confining hospitalization.. We report the use of an environmental suit for a patient with severe hemolysis due to M. pneumoniae pneumonia. This suit provides a constant temperature and has enabled the patient to journey outside his room, despite winter temperatures, yet avoid further hemolytic episodes. Early discharge was possible and has facilitated the patients return to home and work as well as ...

The diagnostic approach to splinter hemorrhages follows the differential diagnosis that has been outlined above. Sometimes the diagnosis is obvious. But when it is not a thorough investigation for the various potential causes should be undertaken. A common approach includes blood tests and imaging studies. Examples of relevant preliminary blood tests includes a complete blood count, basic metabolic panel, markers of inflammationsuch as erythrocyte sedementation rate, culture bottles to look for endocarditis and a screen for vasculitis such as ANA, complement levels and cryoglobulins. Typical imaging studies often include a trans-thoracic echocardiogram to look for a central thrombus and some imaging of the chest. In the case of splinter hemorrhages in the fingers imaging may include a chest CT angiogram and an arterial duplex ultrasound of the affected arms with thoracic outlet maneuvers.. These studies are just suggestions. Also, further imaging and laboratory tests should obviously stem from ...

A nudivirus (family Nudiviridae) is a large, rod-shaped virus with a circular, double stranded DNA genome of 96-231 kb. The genome encodes 98 to 154 open reading frames. Virions are rod-shaped and when enveloped are up to 382×77 nm. The word nudivirus comes from the Latin nudus, which means naked and virus, poison. Naked refers to the fact that, unlike baculoviruses, they are not occluded by cryoproteins. In 2007, the genus Nudivirus was proposed to include viruses similar to the Oryctes rhinoceros virus (Wang et al., 2007b). The nudiviruses were classified as the family Nudiviridae in 2013. All 3 sequenced nudivirus have 33 open reading frames in common. Gene content comparaison and phylogenetic analyses show that Nudivirus share 20 cores genes with baculovirus and form a monophyletic sister group with them. Fossil calibration estimate this association arose 100 million years ago(Mya), while the last common ancestor of BVs, nudivirus, and baculovirus existed approximately 312 Mya. ...
