OverviewAI-generated summary

Joana Marie Mack investigates the treatment and management of vascular malformations, with a particular focus on pediatric patients. Her research examines the effectiveness and safety of various therapeutic agents, including sirolimus and direct oral anticoagulants like rivaroxaban. Mack has also explored the short-term side effects and patient-reported outcomes associated with bleomycin sclerotherapy, as well as the pharmacokinetics of bleomycin in patients with vascular malformations. Her work extends to analyzing coagulation dynamics during treatment using thromboelastography and investigating early response markers for survival in conditions like hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Additionally, she has studied the pharmacokinetics of hydroxycarbamide in children with sickle cell anemia. Mack's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9, with 39 total publications and 233 citations. She has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Shelley E. Crary, Divyaswathi Citla Sridhar, Suzanne Saccente, and Gresham T. Richter.
