A mathematical model has been proposed to study the effect of [TAME] esterase on blood clotting time. Using this model, clotting time was found to decrease by 30% with increasing plasma [TAME] esterase activity in a group of smokers. It is hypothesized that [TAME] esterase through its effect on Hageman factor could affect clotting time. However mechanism of clotting by [TAME] esterase remains t...

The anticoagulant rodenticide diphacinone was slightly toxic (acute oral LD50 2014 mg/kg) to Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) in a 14-day acute toxicity trial. Precise and sensitive assays of blood clotting (prothrombin time, Russell's Viper venom time, and thrombin clotting time) were adapted for use in quail, and this combination of assays is recommended to measure the effects of antic...

Investigation to know the hemorrhagic and clotting mechanisms in very virulent (vv) infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) infection of Malaysian isolate was carried out in chicks. One-hundred-ten, 32-dayold Specific-pathogen-free chicks were divided into IBD and control groups, each consisting 55 chicks. The IBD group was inoculated orally with 0.1 mL/chick of inoculums containing vvIBDV isola...
