Circulating progenitor cells in atrial fibrillation: Relationship to endothelial dysfunction, thrombogenesis and inflammation
… body of evidence to suggest that AF confers a hypercoagulable state. Disruption of endothelial homeostasis (damage vs. repair) is thought to be central to this process. The endothelium appears to be damaged both by AF and various other vascular diseases (e.g. hypertension) that frequently …

Evaluation of hemostasis in hyperthyroid cats
… There is a significant likelihood of being in hypercoagulable state based on hyperthyroid state (P = 0.019) and serum T4 level is significantly associated with predicating hypercoagulability (P = 0.043). Hyperthyroidism is associated with significantly higher median fibrinogen concentration (P …

Paediatric cardiac anaesthesia in sickle cell disease : a case series
… lead to vaso-occlusive injury, haemolysis and a hypercoagulable state. Sickling is precipitated by dehydration, hypoxia, hypothermia, acidosis and low flow states. Over time, multi-organ damage develops with significant morbidity and mortality. Paediatric patients with SCD and congenital heart …

Real-world Pharmacological Anticoagulation and Clinical Outcomes of Venous Thromboembolism in Adults with Sickle Cell Disease
… It affects about 100,000 people in the United States, and occurs more commonly in people of African descent. SCD is considered as a hypercoagulable state and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious disease-specific complication. However, there have been limited real-world studies on VTE in …

Coagulation in the HIV-positive pregnant patient: A thromboelastographic study
… including thrombocytopaenia. Pregnancy induces a hypercoagulable state. There are limited data on the coagulation status of women with term pregnancy and HIV receiving anti-retroviral medication. Regional anaesthesia is the technique of choice for caesarean section, and is contraindicated in a …

A Prospective, Descriptive Study Evaluating The Evolution Of Covid-19 Associated Coagulopathy In Mechanically Ventilated, Critically-Ill Patients Using Standard Laboratory Coagulation Studies And Thromboelastography
… to ICU for mechanical ventilation were in a hypercoagulable state as demonstrated by TEG analysis. This state evolved over the 14-day observation period, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring of coagulation parameters in these patients. A small group developed thrombotic …

Identification of Multiple Levels of Trauma Induced Coagulopathy
… The hypothesis that the introduction of a state of clinical shock in a controlled environment would allow for an in-depth assessment of trauma-induced coagulopathy led to the development of a swine based model of hemorrhagic shock. In this model a composite injury consisting of soft tissue …

Coagulopathy in severe, isolated traumatic brain injury: A prevalence study
… by TEG. Of the total 109 TEGs, 59 samples were hypercoagulable, 10 were hypocoagulable and the remaining 40 normal. There was poor correlation between laboratory-based coagulation assessments and TEG. Conclusions: Contrary to what is reported in the literature, we found little evidence of a …

A Multi-Level Analysis of Major Health Challenges in the United States Using Data Analytics Approaches
… In essay 1, we focused on the performance of the state's healthcare systems in reducing unfavorable birth outcomes such as infant mortality, preterm birth, and low birthweight using Data Envelopment Approach. We constructed a unique state-level dataset to answer this main research question: what …

Arterial Thrombosis in Factor V Leiden or Activated Protein C Resistance. Clinical and Experimental Studies.
Abstract The last two decades has seen an avalanche of studies establishing Activated protein C (APC) resistance due to Factor V Leiden mutation as the most prevalent genetic risk factor, yet known, for venous thromboembolism. This has been documented in 20-60% of patients with deep vein thrombosis …
