Introduction: Reports concerning the association of physical activity with markers of inflammation, coagulation, and fibrinolysis are ambiguous. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of 4 weeks of combined decomposedsit-up and walking training with two different volumes onfibrinogen, plasma viscosity and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in college, young men. Methods: In this semi...

Fibrinogen γ’ is known to influence fibrin clot structure in purified experimental models but little is known regarding its influence on clot structure in plasma. Furthermore, the environmental and biological factors that affect its concentration are poorly described. We analysed fibrinogen γ’, total fibrinogen concentration and fibrin clot structure in 2010 apparently healthy black South Afric...

Toxoplasma gondii is the cause of toxoplasmosis. More than 60% world's population infected with T. gondii. The prevalence acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women 4.8 per 1000 women. risk fetal infection until 13 weeks gestation about 15% and after that increases reaches 72% at 36 gestation. Fibrinogen one most important phase proteins Physiologically, there an increase blood procoagulant levels (...

Afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia is a quantitative defect in fibrinogen. It is a rare disease with estimated frequency of 1 in 1,000,000 population. Routine preoperative screening tests of coagulation disorders are insufficient to detect subtle disorders of fibrinogen. Herein, we report a child who was supposed to undergo open cardiac surgery for a large atrial septal defect. Preoperative ...

background and objectives: streptococcus agalactiae is the leading cause of bacterial sepsis and meningitis in newborns and results in pneumonia and bacteremia in adults. a number of s. agalactiae components are involved in colonization of target cells. destruction of peptidoglycan and division of covalently linked daughter cells is mediated by autolysins. in this study, autolytic activity and ...

The binding of fibrinogen to platelets is a multiphasic process leading to apparently nonreversible associations between fibrinogen and stimulated platelets. To further investigate changes in platelet-fibrinogen interactions, the present study examined the accessibility of platelet-bound fibrinogen and its GPIIb-IIIa receptor to antibody and enzyme probes as a function of time after platelet st...

Using autologous (131)I-fibrinogen, we made studies of the metabolism and distribution of fibrinogen in 10 patients with hemophilia A. In two patients simultaneous studies of autologous (131)I-fibrinogen and homologous (125)I-fibrinogen prepared from healthy donors' plasma were carried out. The average value for the plasma volume was 42.1 +/- 8.8 ml/kg; for the plasma fibrinogen concentration, ...

Background and Purpose—To determine the contribution of fibrinogen levels and FGG haplotypes to ischemic stroke. Methods—Associations between fibrinogen levels, fibrinogen /total fibrinogen ratio, and FGG haplotypes with the risk of ischemic stroke were determined in 124 cases and 125 controls. Results—Fibrinogen /total fibrinogen ratio was higher in patients than in controls during the acute p...
