Our recent study demonstrates that the EHR-CAT risk model is externally valid and applicable across 184 health systems for prediction of cancer associated thrombosis. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2025.44428

Tired of spending all day chart-reviewing to find acute venous #thrombosis (PE/DVT)? Try our validated VTE-BERT, a fine-tuned #NLP #AI model that extracts #VTE outcomes from full clinical notes. 🔗 nlpmed.demo.angli-lab.com 📄 doi.org/10.1016/j.jtha… @JTHjournal @BCMDeptMedicine

Immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Learn more in this Review. ja.ma/3ZsypvR

How important is #CHIP for #VTE risk in older adults with high prevalence? Find out in our newest publication @JTHjournal using #ARIC cohort by @smsaadatagah @SSukumarMD @CBallantyneMD @MaryCushmanMD Statistically significant but clinically small effect! doi.org/10.1016/j.jtha…

Preventing arterial #thromboembolism (ATE) in high-risk cancer patients should focus on modifiable CV risk factors. Kim et al.'s study explores the link between cancer, CV risk factors, and ATE. @JTHjournal. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kh7B5TuFxMh…

Looking forward to #ASH24! Our lab is actively recruiting new post-doctoral fellows: jobs.bcm.edu/job/Postdoctor…

Here's to another year of successful #ASH24 Hematology, ASH Education Program publication! Honored to be the the Special Section Editor for the last 3 years. ashpublications.org/hematology/iss…

Dr. @AngLi_MD reported external validation of the EHR-CAT score (adaptions of the Khorana risk score) in 187 health care system (over 400,000 patients). Let’s implement this in EPIC to stratify patients according to their underlying risk of VTE! #ASH24

ctDNA is an underexplored tool for the prognostication of cancer-associated VTE. The # of pathogenic ctDNA mutations is independently predictive of VTE risk. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @JTHjournal @AngLi_MD @BCMHemeOnc

#ASH24 Dr. @saratain presented our prospective cohort study of 101 pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic transplant @TexasChildrens. We found an 17% incidence of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) at 1-year & distinct longitudinal changes in sC5b9, Ba, ANG-1 & ANG-2 biomarkers!

Congratulations to @smsaadatagah for presenting an oral abstract at #ASH24 annual meeting. He showed a mild association between #CHIP and #VTE in ARIC prospective cohort driven by TET2 @BCM_InternalMed @BCMDeptMedicine

Baylor College of Medicine is seeking a full-time classical hematologist to join our clinical and research programs. We are located in the heart of Houston (not Waco): jobcenter.hematology.org/job/14341

Racial disparity in cancer mortality persists at large in the U.S. but is mitigated in single-payer healthcare system like the VA. Under-captured SDoH such as access to care likely explains the discrepancy. rdcu.be/dMz46 @nrfillmore

Similar survival outcomes can be achieved for aggressive large B-cell lymphoma in a safety-net hospital system with robust financial assistance program! R-IPI plus several other factors are prognostic @markjyjiang @ChrisRFlowersMD authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S29…

Not all #lymphomas are created equal. Different histology types pose unique #thrombosis risks. New #VTE risk assessment model in #lymphoma patients across 3 patient cohorts: doi.org/10.1002/ajh.27… @ShenglingMa

Should isolated splanchnic vein thrombosis be included in the outcome definition for "cancer associated thrombosis"? Our study shows that they are managed very differently. A multi-center study is needed! @MarcCarrier1 @KSanfilippoMD @rushadpatell authors.elsevier.com/a/1ielB5TuFxIt…

Anticoagulation in #cancer-associated splanchnic vein #thrombosis (SpVT) requires judicious consideration for thrombotic & bleeding risk. This study by Shang et al. delves deeper into the natural history & management of SpVT. @AngLi_MD jthjournal.org/article/S1538-… @ELShematology
