THE BLOOD-CLOT DRESSING IN MASTOIDECTOMY, CONSIDERED PHYSIOLOGICALLY.

Habit—Physiologically Considered

Salivary microvesicles clot blood.

The capacity of saliva to clot blood has been documented in the scriptures (Luke 16:21), folklore, and in the medical literature of the 1920s when Hunter described the ability of saliva to clot blood and proposed it as a means to attenuate bleeding from gastric ulcers.1 In 1938, Glazko and Greenberg reported that saliva contains a cell-derived, protein-based thromboplastin,2 which was later ide...

Staghorn blood clot.

A 61-year-old man with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease suffered from alternating anuria and polyuria resulting from cyst bleeding with clot formation in renal pelvis, a finding which could not be detected by ultrasonography. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging revealed the right renal pelvis and major calyces were filled with staghorn-shaped blood clots in both coronal sections o...

Study of garlic effect on fibrinolytic activity of the blood clot in vitro

Abstract Introduction The main function of the fibrinolytic system is to dissolve fibrin clots in circulation. This system is composed of inactive precursor plasminogen which can be converted into plasmin by the proteolytic enzymes like tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). Fibrinolytic properties can be found in a variety of medicine plants and they could effectively prevent cardiovascula...

Blood Clot Plasmin Antigen Specific Localization In

I N PREVIOUS REPORTS1-3 various methods, including radiotracer studies, revealed the capacity of plasmin to adsorb selectively to preformed venous and arterial clots. Components of the fibrinolysin system were labeled with iodine131 and their distribution studied following intravenous administration. The highest degree of adsorption to fibrin clots was exhibited by human plasminogen activated w...
