Hemostasis & Thrombosis Blood cell diseases and thrombosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Evidence and information sources. The contribution of leukocytes and red cells to thrombogenesis has been reviewed. Moreover, the prevalence of thrombosis as a complication of hematologic diseases has been examined. The authors are involved in the investigation and management of acute and chronic hematologic diseases as well as in investigation of thrombophilia. Pub-Med was employed as a source of information.

Evaluation of Normal Range of Bleeding Scores in Healthy Iranian Adults using the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis Bleeding Assessment Tool
Background: Bleeding assessment tools are key components in the evaluation of patients suspicious for bleeding disorders. The exact determination of the normal ranges of ISTH-BAT (International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis –Bleeding Assessment Tool) in the healthy population is a crucial step for determining who needs to be referred for further coagulation laboratory examinations. We ai...

Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for 30-40% of all malignancies. A retrospective review was performed of the hospital records of 9 children, 6 boys and 3 girls, aged from 2.5 to 15 years with ALL initially referred to Nemazee hospital Nuclear medicine center for whole body bone scanning between 2000 and 2002. Bone marrow pathology established ALL (L1) in two and ALL (...
متن کاملIntelligent platelet inhibitors are on the horizon.
Hemostasis is a tightly regulated physiological sequence of events that maintains vascular integrity and imminent blood loss after vessel injury. Platelets play a critical role in primary hemostasis and in regulation of coagulation. Under physiological conditions, hemostasis and thrombosis are in a fragile equilibrium. Uncontrolled platelet activation leads to intravascular thrombosis and organ...
متن کاملIntrinsic pathway of coagulation and arterial thrombosis.
Formation of a fibrin clot is mediated by a group of tightly regulated plasma proteases and cofactors. While this system is essential for minimizing blood loss from an injured blood vessel (hemostasis), it also contributes to pathologic fibrin formation and platelet activation that may occlude vessels (thrombosis). Many antithrombotic drugs target key elements of the plasma coagulation mechanis...
متن کاملFibronectin orchestrates thrombosis and hemostasis
Fibronectin (Fn) is an essential extracellular matrix protein involved in cell adhesion, migration, differentiation and proliferation. Fn is required for embryogenesis, and is intricately involved in malignant transformation, angiogenesis, inflammation, fibrosis, wound healing, thrombosis and hemostasis [1]. Fn is a dimer consisting of two 250 kDa subunits. Alternative splicing of Fn pre-mRNA a...
