Coagulation tests can confirm the disease by revealing an isolated prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT – factors VIII, IX, XI, XII) both in acquired hemophilia A (AHA) and B (AHB),
Otherwise, his coagulation profile and liver function test were normal. Plasma D-dimer was 12.62 µg/ ml fibrinogen-equivalent units (normal range <0.50). The initial impression of the clinical picture was phlegmasia alba dolens. He was given an intravenous heparin load- ing dose of ...
A shortening of the dosage interval or continuous infusion of ertapenem should be considered to ensure optimal free concentrations in critically ill patients with severe hypoalbuminaemia and normal renal function.Burkhardt OKumar VKatterwe DMajcher-Peszynska J...
ii) the internal APDs of normal weight infants, children, and adolescents would not be significantly different from underweight and overweight/obese counterparts, and iii) within and across age groups, these age- and gender- specific body habitus indices were not independent predictors of internal ch...

The patient’s vitals were stable: blood pressure at 125/85 mmHg, heart rate of 65 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute, oxygen saturation at 99% while breathing in ambient air. A dual antiplatelet therapy with a loading dose of acetylsalicylic acid (250 mg), ...
This results in significant changes to observed concentrations of a range of metabolites and hormones dependent on the time of day, with a well-known example being cortisol [16], with proline and leucine being further examples of highly rhythmic metabolites. Studies discussing these and further ...
In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath (the protective coating on nerve fibers in the brain,spinal cord, and optic nerve), potentially disrupting nerve activity throughout the body. The damage to the myelin sheath can have a broad range of physical and mental effects, ...
