BACKGROUND Thrombolytic drugs are widely used for the management of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis patients. Several in vitro models have been developed to study clot lytic activity of thrombolytic drugs, but all of these have certain limitations. There is need of an appropriate model to check the clot lytic efficacy of thrombolytic drugs. In the present study, an attempt has been made to des...

URL blacklists are used by the majority of modern web browsers as a means to protect users from rogue web sites, i.e. those serving malware and/or hosting phishing scams. There is a plethora of URL blacklists/reputation services, out of which Google’s Safe Browsing and Microsoft’s SmartScreen stand out as the two most commonly used ones. Frequently, such lists are the only safeguard web browser...

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) have, in recent years, been recognized as the cause of the largemajority of major floods in rivers all along the U.S. West Coast and as the source of 30%–50% of all precipitation in the same region. The present study surveys the frequencywith whichARs have played a critical role as a common cause of the end of droughts on the West Coast. This question was based on the o...

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters have become essential components in deep vein thrombosis treatment, and are particularly critical for preventing pulmonary embolisms in anticoagulation-resistant patients. Filter efficacy relies on maintaining IVC patency, or openness, by preventing filter-induced thrombosis following clot capture. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model has been developed to...

Objective—The relative balance between clot formation and fibrinolysis is considered to reflect thrombotic potential following vascular injury. The aims of the present study were to (1) to determine the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to variance in measures of clot structure/function in the Leeds Family Study, and (2) to determine the relationship between measures of clot str...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We studied in monkeys why vasospasm resolves after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS Monkeys underwent angiography and right (n=17) or bilateral (n=8) SAH. Animals with bilateral SAH underwent angiography 1, 3, 5, and 7 days later. Animals with right SAH underwent angiography 7 days later. The clot was then not removed (n=5), removed and replaced with fresh clot (n...
