The coagulation process has been conceptualized as being primarily dependent on adequate levels of the coagulation proteins. This concept was based on the clear relationship between the bleeding tendency and factor levels in hemophilia. The field is now evolving toward conceptualizing coagulation as being actively regulated by the specialized cellular components of the process. Rather than conc...

The coagulation properties of cellulose-NaOH/thiourea/urea/H2O solutions under various coagulation conditions have been investigated, to determine the kinetics of this special coagulation process (known as including diffusion on the contact surfaces of the polymer solution with the precipitant and the chemical reaction between acid and alkali). The observation was made that, at the beginning of...

Alterations of the coagulation potential of heparinized blood after using an extracorporeal circulation have been studied by means of a toluidine blue-calcium chloride reagent. This technique was originally used to detect the effect of activation by contact on the coagulation mechanism in heparinized blood. It has been shown that it also detects, in the presence of heparin, the clotpotentiating...

PURPOSE Although coagulation activation has been reported in chronic urticaria, data pertaining to detailed changes in coagulation factors and global coagulation status are lacking. The current study evaluated global coagulation status in patients with chronic urticaria using thrombin generation assay (TGA) and the levels of individual coagulation factors. METHODS Patients with chronic urtica...

Known variously as disseminated intravascular coagulation, defibrination consumption coagulopathy or, more simply, as defibrination, disseminated intravascular coagulation is a serious epiphenomenon that occurs most often as a complicating factor of an underlying disease process. Although frequently triggered by underlying disease such as infection or tumor, if not recognized and treated approp...

In preparation 110 Background: Apart from mediating fibrin deposition, the activated coagulation factors(F) VIIa, Xa and thrombin share the common ability to activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), which are generally assumed to mediate critical functions in angiogenesis and smooth and cardiac muscle physiology. The common ability of coagulation factors to activate the same PARs gives ris...

Warfarin is the most widely used medicine for oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT). It inhibits the synthesis of coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X in the liver and results in the production of inactive or partially active versions of these factors. Inactive coagulation factors interfere with prothrombin time measurement (Quick and Owren PT) measuring the sum of coagulation activity and inhibit...

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...
