Moderate Red Wine Consumption and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Beyond the “French Paradox”
This article was listed as the top downloaded article of this journal for some 15 months over the past 2-year period, evidencing its enduring popularity. Perhaps the upbeat message of “moderate red wine consumption” having a positive effect on “cardiovascular disease risk” provided some of the momentum to its popularity. Dr. Lippi is an Associate Editor of, and a frequent contributor to, Seminars in Thrombosis & Hemostasis.
Dr. Rak about his article: “It is always exciting to trace the links between the key concepts, and revisit how independent research streams forced us to pay attention to microparticles in the context of malignancy. I suspect that subconsciously I also attempted to justify the meanderings of my own scientific journey and curiosity. I suspect that similarly minded readers may have enjoyed this aspect, but the reception probably reflects our heightened collective interest in vesiculation as a biological process.”

Job Harenberg and Martin Wehling
Current and future prospects for anticoagulant therapy: inhibitors of factor Xa and factor IIa
Job Harenberg and Martin Wehling have collaborated for more than two years in the field of clinical and pharmacological research into thromboembolic diseases, and are based at Faculty of Medicine Mannheim at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Dr Harenberg, the corresponding author for the paper, is a long-time contributor to Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis. An old friend of Eberhard Mammen, Dr Harenberg was delighted to hear of his award.

2009 Award Winners
Bruno Girolami and Antonio Girolami
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: A Review
Antonio and Bruno Girolami are a father and son co-authorship team. Antonio first met Eberhard Mammen about 25 years ago at the Meeting of the American Society of Hematology, and met him several times thereafter at various international meetings. The invitation to write the article came from the Guest Editor for that issue of Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis (Paolo Prandoni) in consultation with Eberhard.

Kerstin Jurk and Beate E. Kehrel
Platelets: Physiology and Biochemistry
The invitation for Beate Kehrel to write her article came personally from Eberhard while at an international meeting, and both Beate and her co-author (Kerstin Jurk) were very happy to hear the news that they had won this award. In Beate's own words "Both of us love platelets and feel that we need to make scientists and medical doctors more familiar with the cinderellas of the blood cells".
Dr Emmanuel J Favaloro, the Editor in Chief of Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, met up with both Beate Kehrel and Kerstin Jurk at the recent ISTH meeting in Boston, and they expressed a wish to contribute further articles for this journal in the near future.
