A review focusing on immune thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP), a life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) and thrombocytopenia. It examines the pathogenesis involving ADAMTS13 autoantibodies, clinical presentation, diagnostic prediction scores, and current treatment protocols, including therapeutic plasma exchange, corticosteroids, rituximab, and the use of caplacizumab to reduce recurrence risk. The review also discusses the importance of monitoring ADAMTS13 activity in remission to prevent relapse.

This literature review explores factors influencing neonatal ICU intubation success, compares outcomes across settings, and identifies strategies to improve outcomes in this vulnerable population. Findings show that nearly half of all neonatal tracheal intubations are unsuccessful and that first-pass success rates correlate with provider experience. The paper emphasizes the need for standardized protocols, improved simulation-based training, and multidisciplinary strategies to reduce complications.
