abstract  introduction: during extrinsic coagulation pathway, a complex is developed between factor vii, calcium and tissue factor (a cell membrane lipoprotein that is exposed after cell injury). factor vii needs calcium and vitamin k for its biologic activation. coronary artery disease (cad) can be induced by increased level and activity of the coagulation factors vii, viii and ix. in postmeno...

introduction cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. these properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. the aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...

backgrounds and aims: methylglyoxal (mgo) is an –α, β dicarbonyl aldehyde inevitably produced from triose-phosphate intermediates of glycolysis, and amino acid. increased mgo in blood leads to alterations in coagulation, clot permeability and thus, atherosclerosis in children with diabetes; however, the precise mechanism is not clear. the present study aimed to compare different concentrations ...

groundwater makes up an important part of global freshwater resources, though it is often threatened by overuse of natural resources along with abundant production of wastes in modern society. this study aims to investigate the removal of three heavy metals including nickel, cadmium, and lead from groundwater via electrocoagulation, a suitable method for treatment of water-soluble compounds, de...

background recombinant activated factor vii (rfviia; novoseven® rt, novo nordisk, bagsvaerd, denmark) is a synthetic pro-coagulation factor derived from hamster kidney cells. objectives the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prescribing patterns of recombinant factor viia (rfviia) at a single, tertiary care pediatric hospital by indication of usage and dose administered. materials and me...

conclusions to solve the above mentioned difficulties, fundamental study most be carried out to discover the novel methods of ferrate(vi) production, focusing on increasing the product stability and the production yield. results despite the existence of these technologies, there is no full-scale application of ferrate(vi) in the water and wastewater industry which it is due to difficulties asso...

Background: Regarding the limited studies about effects of addiction on coagulation factors as a risk factor for increasing coagulation, and its relation to coronary artery disease, we decided to investigate the effect of opium on inflammatory and coagulation factors in a controlled setting.Methods: This case-control study was performed using two groups of smoking males addicted to opium (27 ca...

according to limitations in blood product resources and to prevent unnecessary transfusions and afterwards complications in perioperative period of total hip arthroplasty, authors administered fibrinogen concentrate in a pilot randomized clinical trial to evaluate bleeding and need to blood transfusion in preoperative period. thirty patients (3-75 years old) with asa physical status class i or ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a neuroinflammatory autoimmune disease which mediated by various molecular and cellular immune components however recent reports have shown that coagulation factors that traditionally separate from the immune system might also be involved in ms development and progression.studies on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae) and human ms patients reports alterati...
