Introduction: Blood group, clotting time (CT) and bleeding (BT) are vital haematological parameters that tested prior to any surgery. groups associated with various diseases blood group "O" linked nose bleeds. The aim of this study is evaluate the association between CT BT find differences in gender among these parameters. Study Design: A cross-sectional observational study. Place Duration: In ...

The addition of the antibiotic ristocetin to plasma accelerated the thrombin clotting time (TCT) in 20 out of 22 subjects. Prior incubation of ristocetin with thrombin or plasma did not alter its effect on the TCT. Ristocetin accelerated clotting greatly at low but not at high levels of thrombin. A simple linear correlation between heparin concentrations and the TCT was demonstrated when ristoc...

receiving full dose heparin (A kaolin clotting time; 56, 29, and 19 seconds) and four had been considered to have equivocal lupus inhibitor tests. On testing of subsequent samples from three of the equivocal patients, one with a A kaolin clotting time of 29 seconds was found to have a definite lupus inhibitor while the two others (19 and 14 seconds) were negative. The A kaolin clotting time in ...

ARECENTLY published tabulation' of simple organic compounds reported to induce some weak fibrinolytic activity includes only compounds known to influence vasomotion (procaine, epinephrine, diethylaminoethanol). Studies in our laboratory concerning the influence of vasomotor drugs on the clotting mechanism have resulted in the observation that intravenously administered nicotinic acid induces ra...

INTRODUCTION Acute coagulopathy of trauma (aCOT) is a state of disordered coagulation developing soon after severe injury and blood loss and has been defined in the clinical literature as an elevation in prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a rat model of aCOT resulting from polytrauma and hemorrhage and sho...
