Kinetic modeling of blood platelet shape changes.
A prior analysis of turbidimetric data3 in terms of the specific physical and kinetic laws that describe this model led to the conclusion that the rate constants were identical. Such behavior is characteristic of a stochastic (Poisson) process, and if true, may imply the existence of a rate-limiting step common to both “sphering” (formally the A -‘ B reaction) and to the extension of long, fili...
متن کاملIncidence of thrombocytopenia and changes in various platelet parameters, in blood culture positive neonatal sepsis
Abstract Objective: To assess the incidence of thrombocytopenia and changes in various platelet parameters, in culture positive neonatal sepsis. Methods: This was prospective study conducted over a period of one year from December 2009 to November 2010 in neonatal intensive care unit of DDUH Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Delhi, North India. All babies who were admitted during this perio...
متن کاملDeformable Modeling for Characterizing Biomedical Shape Changes
We present a new algorithm for modeling and characterizing shape changes in 3D image sequences of biomedical structures. Our algorithm tracks the shape changes of the objects depicted in the image sequence using an active surface algorithm. To characterize the deformations of the surrounding and inner volume of the object’s surfaces, we use a physics-based model of the objects the image represe...
متن کاملPlatelet storage: changes in cytosolic Ca2+ actin polymerization and shape.
Platelets gradually lose their disc shape during storage. The authors studied simultaneous changes in platelet cytosolic Ca2+ (Cai) and the polymerization state of actin as related to the shape. Platelet concentrates were stored under blood bank conditions for up to 10 days. Aliquots were removed and analyzed as follows: platelet Cai and increments in Cai induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ...
متن کاملPlatelet shape changes and adhesion under high shear flow.
Recent studies have revealed that the platelet adhesive process under flow is tightly regulated by multiple ligand-receptor interactions. However, platelet morphological changes during this process, particularly its physiological relevance, remain unknown under blood flow conditions. Using epifluorescence and scanning electron microscopy, we evaluated the real-time changes in platelet morpholog...
