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...

This study was performed to assess the clopidogrel activity in inhibition of platelet aggregation in suspected angina patients on a daily dosag of 75 mg of clopidogrel for at least 7 days. This clinical trial was conducted in the outpatients department of Cardiology, Post graduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from 15th October 2007 to 20th December 2007. We included 105 su...

The daily rhythm of platelet aggregation and clotting parameters during training were investigated in six Thoroughbred horses. Blood samples were collected every 4 h for 48 h. Platelet aggregation was measured with an aggregometer and subsequently according to the trends recorded, the percentage of aggregation was calculated. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombi...

accurate mapping of geological structures play an important role in the land management, some of which are considered as the origination of wind deposits, dust and aerosols. during the last decades, remote sensing has considerably helped the studies of desert areas especially in change detection of land phenomena. this study aims to study the facies morphology of playa in tabas kavir, based on ...

Protein aggregation is phenomenon wherein protein loses its native structure and aggregates due to the adaption of non-native conformation. Amyloid aggregation formed by the accumulation of various proteins causes many diseases in humans and other organisms. Antioxidants can prevent proteins aggregation. Pulicaria undulata  extract along with phenolic compounds can increase protein stability an...

Understanding the microscopic dispersion and aggregation of nanoparticles at nanoscale media has become an important challenge during the last decades. Nanoscale modeling techniques are the important tools to tackle many of the complex problems faced by engineers and scientists. Making progress in the investigations at nanoscale whether experimentally or computationally has helped understand th...

Information is a key factor in emergency management, which helps decision makers to make effective decisions. In this paper, aiming at clarifying the information aggregation laws, and according to the characteristic of emergency information, information relative entropy is applied in the information aggregation to establish the information aggregation model of emergency group decision-making. T...

This paper develops a framework to analyze the latency and delay composition of workflows in a realtime networked aggregation system. These workflows are characterized by different inputs that are processed along parallel branches that eventually merge or fuse to compute the aggregation result. The results for each flow must be produced within certain end-to-end deadlines or else the informatio...

UNLABELLED ProADD, a database for protein aggregation diseases, is developed to organize the data under a single platform to facilitate easy access for researchers. Diseases caused due to protein aggregation and the proteins involved in each of these diseases are integrated. The database helps in classification of proteins involved in the protein aggregation diseases based on sequence and struc...
