Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) is widely used in clinical practice. Previous studies done in rats showed unexpected thrombotic potencies of this drug used at ultra-low doses. This review is the first report in which the effects of a wide range of ASA concentration on a microvessel model of laser-induced thrombus formation and Induced Hemorrhagic Time in animals were largely studied.

Pig meat off-flavor was attributed to trimethylamine (TMA) contents, and to evaluate pig meat natural quality at different breeds, genders and days is reported. In this study, total 49 leg meat samples were used to assay TMA contents and 18 for measurement of TMA threshold to evaluate the natural quality. Xiang Mini pig contained the lowest TMA value (11.31±0.25 μg/g) in the four tested breeds,...

BACKGROUND Concerns about appropriate pricing strategies and the high market share of subsidized condoms prompted Population Services International (PSI)/Myanmar to adopt a total market approach (TMA). This article presents data on the size and composition of the Myanmar condom market, identifies inefficiencies and recommends methods for better targeting public subsidy. METHODOLOGY Data on co...

Two fluorescent probes, DPH and its cationic derivative, TMA-DPH, have been employed to probe the lipid fluidity of red cell membranes. The results show that the informations given by DPH and TMA-DPH can present important dif ferences, suggesting that DPH and TMA-DPH are not localized in the same areas of cell membranes. In an attempt to investigate relations between lipid fluidity and rheologi...

Last week we proved existence of weak solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a class of elliptic operators (in particular, for the Laplace operator), by using the Riesz representation theorem. This method, however, is limited to linear PDEs. It is therefore of interest to study more robust methods, which can be applied also to nonlinear PDEs. One such method is to obtain the solution to the PDE...

Child development may be subject to forms of motor, physical, cognitive and self-representation impairments when complex congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs. In some cases, inadequacy of both self-representation as well as the family system are displayed. It seems to be important to search the likely internal and external resources of the CHD child, and the possible connections among such res...

manner to the usual therapeutic doses of the oral anticoagulants. Some appear to be unusually sensitive, while others, who are encountered more frequently than these hyper-reactors, prove abnormally resistant to the action of these drugs. While carrying out clinical trials with " tromexan " (Burt, Payling Wright, and Kubik, 1949) and with " dindevan " (Payling Wright, 1954, in press) in groups ...

Patients with Behçet's disease (BD) have been recognized to be at an increased risk of thrombosis and thrombotic complications have been reported in 12%-40% of patients. The precise pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the thrombotic tendency of BD are not known. In recent researches, it is reported that procoagulant mutations might play a role in thrombotic process in BD patients. We aimed to ev...

•Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare complication of cancer.•NBTE may precede the diagnosis of an occult gynecologic malignancy.•Malignancy-induced NBTE must be considered in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism.•The most effective treatment is anticoagulation and treatment of the underlying cancer.

A young man suffered an acute inferior myocardial infarction following clinical use of cocaine as topical anesthesia. Coronary angiography showed occlusion of both the posterior descending and posterolateral arteries which was resistant to intracoronary administration of nitroglycerin and verapamil, a finding consistent with thrombotic occlusion. A subsequent angiogram 3 months later showed no ...
