Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is the most frequent coagulation disorder associated with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. However, DIC with enhanced fibrinolysis as an initial presentation of prostate cancer is extremely rare. The appropriate treatment to control bleeding in these situations is challenging, controversial, and based on isolated case reports in the literature. A ...

This paper will review the involvement of disseminated intravascular coagulation-induced microvascular thrombosis in the pathogenesis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and the interaction between disseminated intravascular coagulation and systemic inflammatory response syndrome in critically ill patients. The published literature on clinical and experimental studies are the data sources of...

in this study, the performance of electro-coagulation in combination with aluminum sacrificial anode, in removal of zinc and copper has been investigated. several parameters, such as pollutant concentration, ph, electrical potential, cod, turbidity and contact time were studied to achieve a higher removal capacity. variable concentrations (5-50-500 ppm) of zinc and copper solutions were prepare...

Correlations between raw water characteristics and pH after enhanced coagulation to maximize dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal using four typical coagulants (FeCl3, Al2(SO4)3, polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and high performance polyaluminum chloride (HPAC)) without pH control were investigated. These correlations were analyzed on the basis of the raw water quality and the chemical and physic...

The dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays significant role in water safety due to not only the natural occurrence but also man-induced pollution. To characterize and predict DOM treatability becomes therefore a very important and hot topic. In this paper, enhanced coagulation by four typical coagulants (FeCl3, Al2(SO4)3, polyaluminum chloride (PAC) and high performance polyaluminum chloride (HPA...

hypercoagulable states are a group of conditions associated with an enhanced tendency toward blood clotting. although usual clinical manifestations of hypercoagulable states are thrombotic events such as deep venous thrombosis, hematoma can also occurs as a result of hypercoagulability in some patients. several inherited or acquired conditions may lead to hypercoagulable states. some of them in...

The focus of coagulation as a water treatment process is shifting to accommodate recent regulatory additions that strive to balance the risks between microbial and chemical contamination of drinking water. In this work, enhanced coagulation using increased ferric chloride dose and/or pH adjustment was evaluated for removal efficacy of viruses on the United States Environmental Protection Agency...

Issam Najm, Carol Tate, and Douglas Selby he upcoming Disinfectants/Disinfection ByProducts (D/DBP) Rule recognizes that a greater reduction in the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration of a natural water supply may appreciably reduce the concentrations of known and unknown DBPs formed during chlorination. Thus, the D/DBP Rule requires that conventional surface water treatment plants use enh...
