Impaired Fibrinolytic Activity Is Present in Children with Dyslipidemias

Acarbose improves fibrinolytic activity in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.

Acarbose has been shown to ameliorate insulinemia, suggesting that it may exert favorable effects on the impaired fibrinolytic state in prediabetic patients. We therefore conducted a randomized controlled study to examine the effects of acarbose on fibrinolysis in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The participants were randomized to receive (n = 20) or not (control, n = 20) 100 mg...

Serum paraoxonase activity in secondary dyslipidemias

1.1. Lipoprotein abnormalities in atherosclerosis, the role of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) The inverse relationship between plasma levels of HDL and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been demonstrated in a number of observational epidemiological studies, such as Framingham Heart Study, and Prospective Cardiovascular Münster Study (PROCAM), as well as in several intervention studies, for examp...

Identification of Fibrinolytic Activity in Iranian Vipera Lebetina Venom

Background and purpose: Vipera lebetina lives in different areas in Iran, and its venom contains a variety of proteins with coagulant and anticoagulant activities. Fibrinolytic enzymes could have a therapeutic role in dissolution of blood clots, so, this study aimed at separating the venom components of Iranian V. lebetina and detecting its anticoagulant activity. Materials and methods: In thi...

Change detection is impaired in children with dyslexia.

The severe deficits in rapid automatized naming demonstrated by children with developmental dyslexia has usually been interpreted in terms of a deficit in speed of access to the lexicon rather than as a possible deficit in speed of visual object recognition. Yet fluent reading requires rapid visual recognition and semantic interpretation of new letters and words appearing in successive fixation...
