It is clear that these interactions are important for the control of normal coagulation and influence the efficacy of heparin and heparin-based therapeutics. In addition to neutralization, the ...

Clotting factors including fibrinogen, prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) as well as full blood count were analyzed for each sample. Scanning electron microscopic and light ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed an artificial metal-based nanozyme that can possibly be used to clamp down on abnormal blood clotting caused by conditions like ...

Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs ... 10 By decreasing centrifugation speed and time and using plastic tubes (to reduce clotting time), fibrin clotting could be slower in the initial time periods ...

Each sample was concurrently assessed with standard laboratory tests (prothrombin time/international normalised ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin clotting time, platelet count and ...

Unexplained bruising could indicate leukemia. Learn 8 key warning signs that distinguish normal bruising from serious blood ...

– For people who have heart failure with a normal heart rhythm, there seems to be little to no advantage of warfarin (an anticoagulant: a medicine which prevents blood clotting by blocking proteins) ...

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events driven by abnormal platelet clotting effects. Platelets are produced by megakaryocytes, deriving from ...

Genetic research in Sweden has unveiled three new gene variants that dramatically increase the risk of venous blood clots, ...

LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-apheresis reduces clotting-related protein levels in plasma. Dyslipidemia is associated with increased platelet count, platelet activity, hypercoagulability, and impaired ...

This could be attributed to activation of platelets as a result of activation of coagulation cascade. Activated platelets liberates chemotactic substances and adhesion molecules which attract ...
