Thromboembolismoccurs when a pathophysiological stimulus causes activation of platelets and the coagulation cascade, giving rise to the formation ofthrombi(clots) in the arterial or venous side of the circulation. The formation of occlusive thrombi may result in death or severe damage to organs. Deep...
A thrombus that is dislodged from the site of formation and is carried by the blood to another location is termed a thromboembolus. • Systemic thromboembolism occurs when a thrombus is carried from a formation site in the left side of the heart to the termination of an artery within the ...

a connected blood vessel, potentially causing a stroke, a myocardial infarction (heart attack), or other tissue death. One solution to this potential complication is to use some kind of occlusive device or filtering device to block or screen the blood flowing downstream of the treatment location....
Figure 3 shows a thrombosis-on-a-chip model that employs a novel method to develop occlusive thrombosis and can be used to evaluate the inhibition of thrombus formation by different compounds. In this device, a bifurcation system is designed where blood enters through a single inlet, passes thro...
These women have an increased risk of PPH and suffer more severe outcomes if PPH occurs. There is an urgent need to identify a safe and effective way to reduce postpartum bleeding in anaemic women. Methods/design The WOMAN-2 trial is an international, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, ...
it is generally accepted that the processes of restenosis after an artery has been cleared or partially cleared of the occlusive material by a procedure such as angioplasty, is likely in many aspects to be similar to the processes involved in the original development of the problem. Vascular rest...
The majority of leukocytes, known as neutrophils, serve as the foremost defense against infections. Although they perform a vital function in innate immunity, there is a potential for unintended harm to tissues, particularly in the presence of inflammation. This damage primarily occurs through phagocyt...

The secondary mechanism may be asystemic illnesswith associated cerebral arteriopathy,vasculitis, cardiac involvement, or hypercoagulable state.Brain infarctionassociated with street-drug ab...
