HUMAN BLOOD COAGULATION AND ITS DISORDERS

Disorders of the blood coagulation-fibrinolytic system

Most human cells have no direct contact with the external environment and their living conditions are ensured by blood. An essential criterion for normal blood circulation is the ability of the blood to arrest bleeding at sites of tissue injury and to prevent thrombus formation inside the blood vessels under normal conditions. The balance between these two extreme states is rigorously controlle...

CLINICAL CONFERENCE Disorders of Coagulation of Blood

155 PEDIATRICS, January 1958 DR. SCHULMAN: The case we would like to discuss is one chosen for its own intrinsic interest, and also because it provides a good opportunity to illustrate some of our newer know!edge of coagulation in general, and hemophilia in particular. The patient is a 4-year-old boy who was referred to this hospital for investigation of a hemorrhagic diathesis. His birth was n...

Hereditary blood coagulation disorders: management and dental treatment.

Patients with hereditary hemostatic disorders, characterized by a tendency to bleeding or thrombosis, constitute a serious challenge in the dental practice. Advances in the medical diagnosis of hemostatic disorders have exposed dental professionals to new patients not amenable to the application of the management protocols associated with other, more well-known, disorders. It is the aim of this...

Effect of the Montivipera bornmuelleri snake venom on human blood: coagulation disorders and hemolytic activities

Viper’s venom is a source of biopharmaceutical compounds, hence the need to assess the effect of this animal extract on human blood. Here, we studied the blood coagulation disorders and hemolytic activities of the venom of M. bornmulleri viper. The pro-coagulant and anticoagulant effects are analyzed with venom concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 0.0031 mg/mL. Thus, the PT is way above the norma...
