Background: Coagulopathy after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is recognized but few details have been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in coagulation biomarkers their predictive ability for venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Purpose: Many investigations indicate the direct and indirect effects of pineal gland on coagulation system particularly on thrombin time. It is well known that exhaustive exercise alters blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, but the assessment of the dimension and importance of these changes is difficult. This study was designed to determine the effect of physical activity interaction epiphysect...

Lidocaine in the epidural space, through inhibitory effects upon coagulation, may contribute to inefficacy of epidural autologous blood patch (EBP). This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of achievable epidural concentrations of lidocaine on blood coagulation as a step in testing this hypothesis. Ex vivo blood coagulation using whole blood (n = 20) was studied with computerized thromb...

During the coagulation process, blood changes from a liquid to a solid gel phase. These changes are reflected by changes in blood viscosity; however, blood viscosity at different shear rates (SR) has not been previously explored during the coagulation process. In this study, we investigated the viscosity changes of whole blood in 10 subjects with a normal coagulation profile, using a cone-on-pl...

OBJECTIVE For the examination of psychological stress effects on coagulation, the Dill and Costill correction (DCC) for hemoconcentration effects has been used to adjust for stress-induced plasma volume changes. Although the correction is appropriate for adjusting concentrations of various large blood constituents, it may be inappropriate for time-dependent or functional coagulation assays. Two...

Previous studies provide inconclusive data concerning the nephrotoxicity of myoglobin following muscle injury. We investigated the possibility that released muscle constituents other than myoglobin may be associated with renal damage, and studied accompanying hematological and coagulation changes. An extract of homologous or autologous muscle was infused intravenously in rabbits in a dose of 10...

OBJECTIVE In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), proinflammatory plasma C-reactive protein values are strongly associated with postinfarction morbidity and mortality. So far, the cause of these inflammatory changes is not well understood. Therefore, we sought to investigate the relationship between the activation of coagulation and subsequent systemic inflammatory changes in AMI. METHODS AND R...

Charging and coagulation influence one another and impact the particle charge and size distributions in the atmosphere. However, few investigations to date have focused on the coagulation kinetics of atmospheric particles accumulating charge. This study presents three approaches to include mutual effects of charging and coagulation on the microphysical evolution of atmospheric particles such as...
