Platelet Refractoriness and how it is formed
Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion of platelet has become one of the main treatments for thrombocytopenic patients to reduce the severity and frequency of bleeding consequences. Failure to attain the desired level of platelets in a patient following platelet transfusion is defined as platelet refractoriness. The purpose of present paper is to review and study the mechanisms involve...
متن کاملHysteresis drives cell-cycle transitions in Xenopus laevis egg extracts.
Cells progressing through the cell cycle must commit irreversibly to mitosis without slipping back to interphase before properly segregating their chromosomes. A mathematical model of cell-cycle progression in cell-free egg extracts from frog predicts that irreversible transitions into and out of mitosis are driven by hysteresis in the molecular control system. Hysteresis refers to toggle-like ...
متن کاملHysteresis meets the cell cycle.
W hat, you may well ask, does hysteresis have to do with cell cycle progression? The last time most of us heard about hysteresis was in the context of the ferromagnetism that underlies tape players and floppy drives. In general, hysteresis means that it takes more of something to push a system from state A to state B than it does to keep the system in state B. Sha et al. (1) report in this issu...
متن کاملPatient Safety Behavior in Physicians: How is it Predicted?
Background: Patient safety is a serious global public health issue. Estimates show that every day many patients are harmed while receiving hospital care. Health care staff plays a key role in providing quality and safe patient care, especially physicians who are main members of the medical team and a critical element in patient safety efforts. Objective: ...
متن کاملRegulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle: molecular antagonism, hysteresis, and irreversible transitions.
In recent years, molecular biologists have uncovered a wealth of information about the proteins controlling cell growth and division in eukaryotes. The regulatory system is so complex that it defies understanding by verbal arguments alone. Quantitative tools are necessary to probe reliably into the details of cell cycle control. To this end, we convert hypothetical molecular mechanisms into set...
