Seawater carbonate chemistry is typically calculated from two measured parameters. Depending on the choice of these input parameters, discrepancies in calculated pCO2 have been recognized by marine chemists, but the significance of this phenomenon for CO2 perturbation experiments has so far not been determined. To mimic different 5 pCO2 scenarios, two common perturbation methods for seawater ca...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a devastating clinical condition that is characterized by the loss of normal hemostatic control in response to sustained and systemic cell injury. The inciting injury may be from infection, trauma, or malignancy, but the consequent pathophysiology is multifactorial involving intertwined feedback loops between the coagulant, immune, and inflammator...

As one of the most exciting inspection and powerful analysis methods in modern materials metallographic examinations, the difference interference contrast (DIC) method has many advantages, including relatively low requirement for specimen preparation, obvious relief senses observed under microscope. Details such as fine structures or defects that are not or barely visible in incident-light brig...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a serious disease that, in the presence of underlying disease, causes persistent, generalized, marked coagulation activation. Early treatment based on an appropriate diagnosis is very important for improving patients' prognosis, to which end diagnostic criteria play a key role. Several criteria have been proposed, but each has its strengths and we...

background: cytogenetic analysis, y-chromosome microdeletion screening, fish techniques and other genetic methods have helped in finding the causes of infertility in azoospermic or severe oligoazoospermic cases in the last decade. objective: in the present study, we characterized an abnormal y-chromosome, detected as a mosaic in an azoospermic male ascertained for infertility. materials and met...

Globally, adult intensive care units routinely use the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) scoring system for identifying overt disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). However, in our pediatric intensive care unit, a modified diagnostic criterion (Texas Children’s Hospital [TCH] criteria) that requires serial monitoring of the coagulation variables is employed. A re...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a condition characterized by a systemic activation of coagulation that leads to fibrin deposition without specific localization and occurring intravascularly. There is ample experimental and pathological evidence that the fibrin deposition in DIC contributes to multiple organ failure. The massive and ongoing activation of coagulation, may result i...
