Information from the ER visit on patient sex, weight and height (when available) along with results from routine laboratory tests e.g., blood count, D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were ...
Venous blood was drawn for Factor VIII levels and serum CRP after being seated quietly for 30 min. Spirometry was performed with a Micro spirometer (Micro Medical, Rochester, Kent) and the subjects were weighed. Retrospective chart review was undertaken to ascertain the number of days of ...
However, there is evidence that high levels of circulating factor VIII levels are not the only determinant for a shortened APTT (Blood 2004; 104:3631) and likely the same case for the other factors including fibrinogen levels. A shortened APTT in a patient with cancer with no evidence of a...
Complete blood count, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), aPTT, anti-cardiolipin (anti-CL) and anti-尾2GPI antibodies were measured. A healthy control (n=20) and a disease control group (SLE, n=10) were included in the study (study in progress to increase ...
Control sera were from healthy blood donors (Table 1). We would like to note that the condition of sample availability depended on the sample volume, and while the samples were not randomly selected, their selection did not depend on exposure factors such as YFV NS1 or syndecan-1 levels, ...
In the case of blood contamination, peritoneal wash fluid was discarded. Following isolation, peritoneal exudate cells were centrifuged (10 min, 400× g, 4 ◦C), re-suspended in cold DMEM with 4500 mg/L glucose, 10% FBS, 1% P/S/A, and 2 mM L-glutamine, counted, adjusted to a ...
