A critical appraisal of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition.
Despite the success of abciximab in preventing ischemic events after percutaneous coronary interventions, attempts to develop intravenous, small-molecule glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists and diversify the clinical indications for these agents have produced varied results. The 30-day ischemic event reduction in the percutaneous coronary intervention trials has ranged by over three-fold (16% to ...
متن کاملA critical role of platelet glycoprotein Ibα in arterial remodeling.
T he canonical role of platelets is hemostasis in which they function as highly specialized cells designed to plug holes in the blood vascular system. To accomplish this task, platelets have evolved unique molecular tools that enable them to function in the vascular environment, such as the GPIbα receptor complex that mediates platelet adhesion to the vessel wall in the face of high shear force...
متن کاملAcquired thrombasthenia due to inhibitory effect of glycoprotein IIbIIIa autoantibodies.
BACKGROUND A 75 year old patient presenting with mucocutaneous bleeding was diagnosed with acquired thrombasthenia. The diagnosis was based on lack of platelet aggregation with adenosine diphosphate (ADP), arachidonic acid and collagen, and normal aggregation induced by ristocetin. OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of platelet function inhibition in a patient with acquired thrombasthenia. ME...
متن کاملA CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF HUMAN GROWTH STUDIES IN IRAN
Studies of human growth throughout Iran since 1966 have been surveyed critically. Only 32 papers and 15 research reports on this very crucial issue have been published or compiled so far, most of them on Tehran and Shiraz, which is negligible in comparison with American or European and even some African and Asian studies. Though measurements of height and weight naturally predominate, arm ...
