Perioperative changes in platelet count and function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
Background: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of bleeding due to multifactorial coagulopathies. In the present study, we aimed at investigating the changes in platelet count and function during and after surgery as well as determining the association of the platelet dysfunction with bleeding and transfusion requirements in these patients. Methods: A total o...
متن کاملDiagnostic Yield and Clinical Utility of Sequencing Familial Hypercholesterolemia Genes in Patients With Severe Hypercholesterolemia.
BACKGROUND Approximately 7% of American adults have severe hypercholesterolemia (untreated low-density lipoprotein [LDL] cholesterol ≥190 mg/dl), which may be due to familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Lifelong LDL cholesterol elevations in FH mutation carriers may confer coronary artery disease (CAD) risk beyond that captured by a single LDL cholesterol measurement. OBJECTIVES This study ass...
متن کاملPlatelet antigens and antibodies in multitransfused patients
Abstract Background and Objectives Following incompatible blood transfusions, anti-HLA and anti- HPA antibodies may develop and cause various disorders such as post-transfusion purpura, platelet refractoriness, and thrombocytopenia leading to bleeding. The aim of this study was to investigate platelet antigens and antibodies in multi-transfused patients. Materials and Methods In this desc...
متن کاملPlatelet survival time in severe chronic airway obstruction.
Dr. Tiemey: Do you visualize that this material is produced in the amniotic fluid and if that's the case, how do you look upon the physiologic effect of it? Dr. Reeves: Well, I think that it comes probably from the lung. We have two experiments with tracheal fluid and it has the same kind of activity. I believe that it may contribute to the high vascular resistance in the fetus. Dr. Murray: Jac...
متن کاملAbnormal Coagulation and Platelet Function in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a high mortality and severe long-term morbidity in survivors. TBI often affects previously healthy young persons, and represents one of the most common causes of death among younger patients. The outcome in general trauma patients has improved over the recent decades. Unfortunately, lesser improvements have been achieved in the treatment of TBI. T...
