PURPOSE To characterize the imaging features of intracerebral hemorrhages in coagulopathies that alter prothrombin time or partial thromboplastin time. METHODS A fluid-blood level was defined as a horizontal interface between hypodense bloody serum layered above hyperdense settled blood. The prevalence of fluid-blood levels in acute intracerebral hemorrhages was determined on third-generation...

The prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) are among the most commonly ordered coagulation tests. In 2005, more than 140,000 PT and more than 95,000 APTT tests were performed at Mayo Clinic. The most common indications for ordering these tests include anticoagulant monitoring, initial evaluation of hemorrhage, and, although not generally indicated, routine preope...

Impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the coagulation system still remains unclear and there is limited data available regarding haemostatic changes in GDM Bangladesh. This study was aimed at determining plasmaprothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin (APTT) women with GDM. cross sectional encompassed 44 (age: 28.5±3.8 years, BMI: 27.2±4.0kg/m2; mean±SD) equal number pr...
