Researchers have identified a previously unknown biological process that causes tissue and organ damage in conditions where ...

Blood clots can form in both arteries and veins. However, the reasons behind them differ, as do the consequences and the ...

Abstract: The linewidth enhancement factor (or alpha parameter) describes the coupling of amplitude and phase in a semiconductor laser. In quantum cascade lasers, the self-mixing effect necessary for ...

Activation of the coagulation cascade leads to cleavage of fibrinogen into fibrin ... that can increase the expression of inflammatory mediators. FVIIa indicates factor VIIa; FXa, factor Xa; and TF, ...

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor factor Xa but not F1+2 plasma ... was to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory changes and activation of the coagulation cascade in AMI and to ...

Figure 1. Schematic representation of both blood coagulation pathways: tissue factor pathway (white boxes and blue gene names) and contact pathway (gray boxes and red gene names). The mechanism for ...

It doesn't matter who you are or what your overall health is like, experts stress it's a necessity if you're driving long distances.

Hemophilia A and B coagulation defects, which are caused by deficiencies of Factor VIII and Factor IX, respectively, can be bypassed by administration of recombinant Factor VIIa. However ...

In hemophilia, mutations impair the production or activity of certain clotting factor proteins — factor VIII (FVIII) in hemophilia A and factor IX (FIX) in hemophilia B — that are needed to form blood ...

Regular and prompt dental care with appropriate clotting factor prophylaxis is essential for patients with hemophilia, according to a study published in Haemophilia. A review of patient records at a ...

In this work we present a CUDA-powered computational tool, named coagSODA, that was purposely developed and applied for the analysis of a large model of the blood coagulation cascade defined as a ...

In people with a bleeding disorder, the blood doesn’t contain enough platelets or clotting factors, or they don’t function the way they should. This makes people bleed more than they should.
