Simplified Threshold Phenomena in Hypo- and Hyper-coagulation
نویسنده
چکیده
It is usual to think of nonlinear dynamics while modeling problems with the heart [8] and the brain [7] cells. Some known hematological disorders that are of dynamical nature are centered around blood cells [14]. In this letter, we try to bring to light many more dynamical problems with blood coagulation that are centered around proteins and, in particular, an usual suspect named thrombin. We do this by using a simplified dynamical model for an important part of the blood coagulation cascade concerning thrombin. We focus on two of its essential threshold behavior.

Radio-adaptive doses effect on HT29 and MRC5 cell lines: comparison in hypo and hyper fractionation regime
Background: The exposure of cell lines to low-dose irradiation leads to changes at molecular level, which may induce adaptive response. We examined radio-adaptive doses effect on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) and human fetal fibroblasts (MRC5) cell line followed by hyper and hypo fractionation regimes, with main purpose to decrease cell viability in HT29, and at the same time...
متن کاملThe effect of thyroid activity on adult rat spermatogenesis
The influence of hypo- and hyper-thyroidism on spermatogenesis was studied in 60-day-old adult maleWistar rats. To confirm hypo- and hyper-thyroidism, the concentration of plasma thyroid hormones wereassayed by radioimmunoassay. The hypothyroid state, induced by administration of 25 mg/kg/daymethimazole for 5 successive days, resulted in significant decrease in the number of Sertoli cells, sper...
متن کاملThyroid status and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in skeletal muscle.
Cardiovascular dysfunction is characteristic of both hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Endothelium-dependent dilation of conductance vessels is impaired in hypothyroidism but augmented in hyperthyroidism. We hypothesized that these alterations in dilation extend into the resistance vasculature of skeletal muscle. To test this hypothesis, rats were made hypothyroid with propylthiouracil (Hypo; n = 13) ...
متن کاملConnected speech processes as multitier/multiarticulator prosodic modulations
A model is proposed that interprets a variety of connected speech processes as resulting from prosodic modulations at different tiers of functional speech motor control along the hypo-hyper dimension [10]. The general background of the model is given by the trichotomy of A-, Band C-prosodic phenomena [15] that together constitute the acoustic makeup of any speech utterance (with regard to their...
متن کاملInfluence of prenatal hypoxia and postnatal hyperoxia on morphologic lung maturation in mice
BACKGROUND Oxygen supply as a lifesaving intervention is frequently used to treat preterm infants suffering additionally from possible prenatal or perinatal pathogen features. The impact of oxygen and/or physical lung injury may influence the morphological lung development, leading to a chronic postnatal lung disease called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). At present different experimental BPD...
