involving many interactions and mutually accelerating processes. The chapter describesshock, in medical and surgical contexts, as a state of inadequatetissue perfusion.Traumatic shockis caused byinjuryto muscle and bone. Internal bleeding results inhypovolemia.Stress reactionscan be invoked by stimulation ...
They are responsible for thousands of metabolic processes that sustain life. The study of enzymes is called enzymology. Enzymes are highly selective catalysts, greatly accelerating both the rate and the specificity of metabolic chemical reactions: from the digestion of food to the synthesis of DNA. ...
In this context, we divide the hemostatic system into primary, secondary and tertiary hemostasis to better define the interdependent mechanisms that combine to maintain overall hemostasis. Primary hemostasis describes the cellular interaction of platelets and the endothelium, and the initiation of the ...
It rep- resents the rate of clot growth and describes the polymeriza- tion of the structural elements involved in clotting. Clot growth is a function of platelets and plasma components residing on the platelet surfaces. CL30 (normal range 100%) is a measure of clot retraction or lysis. CI...
The paper also briefly describes the challenges faced by the application of nanomaterials for hemostasis and the prospects for their future development. Keywords: effective hemostasis; hemostasis strategies; nanomaterials; wound healing; nanotechnology
Concerning P-selectin, an ADM involved in the initial phase of the atherosclerotic plaque formation, and a predictor of myocardial infarction [37,38], our findings are consistent with the data reported by the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, which describes an association between P-selectin ...
