Clot retraction facilitates clot lysis.

Platelet facilitation of clot lysis was studied using the dilute clot lysis assay, a standardized assay for fibrinolysis shown to correlate with the development of postoperative deep vein thrombosis. Clots prepared from dilute platelet poor plasma showed prolonged clot lysis when compared with clots prepared in a similar fashion from dilute platelet rich plasma. Since in the presence of platele...

Clot busters! Relief of gastric outlet obstruction after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Roux-en-Ygastric bypass (RYGB) is a highly effective surgical approach for the treatment of morbid obesity [1]. Postsurgical bleeding leading to intraluminal blood clot formation causes gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) at the site of the anastomosis, and is typically managed by laparotomy or surgical revision [1,2]. Gastrojejunal clots causing GOO following laparoscopic RYGB occur in 3%–27% of ...

intraluminal clot formation causing obstruction after laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass

abstract bowel obstruction is a known complication after bariatric surgery especially roux-en-y gastric bypass. the known etiologies include internal hernia, jejunojejunostomy stricture, ileus, intussusceptions, superior mesenteric artery syndrome, incarcerated port site hernia, and adhesions. blood clot is a rare cause of small intestinal obstruction after laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass...

Clot control

For neurons, overexcitement is deadly. To avoid this, brain cells must sop up unneeded neurotransmitters from the synapse through membrane-bound transporters. If these transporters fail, neurons and other brain cells get excited to death—a phenomenon that may contribute to brain damage during stroke and Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, brain deterioration after stroke is associated with elevated le...
