Illustrated State-of-the-Art Capsules of the ISTH 2020 Congress
This year's Congress of the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) was hosted virtually from Philadelphia July 17-21, 2021. The conference, now held annually, highlighted cutting-edge advances in basic, population and clinical sciences of relevance to the Society. Despite being held virtually, the 2021 congress was of the same scope and quality as an annual meeting held in person. An added feature of the program is that talks streamed at the designated times will then be available on-line for asynchronous viewing. The program included 77 State of the Art (SOA) talks, thematically grouped in 28 sessions, given by internationally recognized leaders in the field. The SOA speakers were invited to prepare brief illustrated reviews of their talks that were peer reviewed and are included in this article. The topics, across the main scientific themes of the congress, include Arterial Thromboembolism, Coagulation and Natural Anticoagulants, COVID-19 and Coagulation, Diagnostics and Omics, Fibrinogen, Fibrinolysis and Proteolysis, Hemophilia and Rare Bleeding Disorders, Hemostasis in Cancer, Inflammation and Immunity, Pediatrics, Platelet Disorders, von Willebrand Disease and Thrombotic Angiopathies, Platelets and Megakaryocytes, Vascular Biology, Venous Thromboembolism and Women's Health. These illustrated capsules highlight the major scientific advances with potential to impact clinical practice. Readers are invited to take advantage of the excellent educational resource provided by these illustrated capsules. They are also encouraged to use the image in social media to draw attention to the high quality and impact of the science presented at the congress.

Tranexamic acid evidence and controversies: An illustrated review
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent commonly used for the treatment or prevention of bleeding. Indications for TXA are diverse, including heavy menstrual bleeding, trauma, postpartum hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and surgical site bleeding. Despite decades of use and a robust body of evidence, hesitancy using TXA persists in many clinical settings. This illustrated review describes the history, pharmacology, and practical considerations of TXA use. We also describe the major landmark randomized controlled trials of TXA and their implications. Finally, we review the evidence around common controversies surrounding TXA such as the risk of thrombosis, prescription along with combined hormonal contraceptives, and use in patients with gross hematuria.

Old Stacks, New Leaves
In the twenty-first century, debates on the future of books and
print culture have intensified with the rise of digital
technologies, and the contemporary art world has witnessed an
explosion of interest in the book form. Amid this artistic and
intellectual activity, there has been little scrutiny of book arts
in South Asia and their particular ontologies, histories, and
genealogies. This volume weaves together scholarly essays, original
artistic projects, and works of creative nonfiction to trace a
history of illustrated books in South Asia from 1100 CE to the
present.
From Nepalese palm-leaf manuscripts and imperial Mughal albums
to lithographed cookbooks and mimeographed magazines, contributors
examine a diverse range of materials rarely, if ever, studied
together. Thematically organized, the chapters stage a critical
dialogue between artists and scholars, emphasizing the visual,
material, aesthetic, and phenomenological dimensions of books.
Against narratives of the death of books in a digital age, this
volume argues for the book as a vital form and dynamic practice.
Written in a lucid and lively style, it will be of interest to
scholars, curators, artists, critics, students, museum visitors,
and readers of contemporary comics and graphic novels.

The pedagogy of images : depicting communism for children
In the 1920s, with the end of the revolution, the Soviet government began investing resources and energy into creating a new type of book for the first generation of young Soviet readers. In a sense, these early books for children were the ABCs of Soviet modernity; creatively illustrated and intricately designed, they were manuals and primers that helped the young reader enter the field of politics through literature. Children’s books provided the basic vocabulary and grammar for understanding new, post-revolutionary realities, but they also taught young readers how to perceive modern events and communist practices.
Relying on a process of dual-media rendering, illustrated books presented propaganda as a simple, repeatable narrative or verse, while also casting it in easily recognizable graphic images. A vehicle of ideology, object of affection, and product of labour all in one, the illustrated book for the young Soviet reader emerged as an important cultural phenomenon. Communist in its content, it was often avant-gardist in its form.
Spotlighting three thematic threads – communist goals, pedagogy, and propaganda – The Pedagogy of Images traces the formation of a mass-modern readership through the creation of the communist-inflected visual and narrative conventions that these early readers were meant to appropriate.
