Age dependency for coagulation parameters in paediatric populations

Descarga: Age dependency for coagulation parameters in paediatric populations Archivo: tromboembolia-venosa/infancia/th_2016-Age dependency for coagulation parameters in paediatric populations .pdf Understanding of developmental haemostasis is critical to ensure optimal prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of haemorrhagic and thrombotic diseases in children. As coagulation test results are known to be dependent on the reagents/analysers used, it is recommended…

Antithrombin: anti-inflammatory properties and clinical applications

Descarga: Antithrombin: anti-inflammatory properties and clinical applications Archivo: tromboembolia-venosa/th_2016-Antithrombin anti-inflammatory properties and.pdf Many humoral and cellular components participate in bidirectional communication between the coagulation and inflammation pathways. Natural anticoagulant proteins, including antithrombin (AT), tissue factor pathway inhibitor, and protein C, suppress proinflammatory mediators. Conversely, inflammation blunts anticoagulant activity and, when uncontrolled, promotes systemic inflammation-induced coagulation,…

What drives „fibrinolysis“?

Descarga: What drives „fibrinolysis“? Archivo: eha/Fibrinolosis/haemo_2015-what drives fibrinolysis.pdf The timely removal of blood clots and fibrin deposits is essential in the regulation of haemostasis. This is achieved by the fibrinolytic system, an enzymatic process that regulates the activation of plasminogen into its proteolytic form, plasmin. This is a self-regulated event as the very presence of…

Clinical trials with new direct oral anticoagulants

Descarga: Clinical trials with new direct oral anticoagulants Archivo: tromboembolia-venosa/tvp/Phlebologie 03_2013 clinical trials DOA.pdf To compare the efficacy and safety of the new direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), ideally head-to-head clinical trials should be performed. Given the expense of such an undertaking, it is highly unlikely that such a comparison would be performed. Therefore, there is…
