A prothrombin time (PT) is a test used to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder; the international normalized ratio (INR) is calculated from a PT result and is used to monitor how well the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (Coumadin®) is...
PT-INR test for warfarin (Coumadin) management - Patient self testing of the INR using a point of care PT-INR testing device.
In our prior work21, a high-speed camera (operating at ~480 frames/s) was used to capture the full extent of speckle fluctuations arising from the rapid rearrangement of light scatterers such as RBCs and platelets present in whole blood. Here, to address the need for low-cost PT/INR test...
Methods: The value of a new simpler procedure to derive international normalized ratio (INR), the PT/INR Line, based on only five European Concerted Action on Anticoagulation (ECAA) calibrant plasmas certified by experienced centres has been assessed in two independent exercises using a range ...
Effect of isotretinoin on prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) Hemorrhage is a common result of periodontal or oral surgery, moreover, the conflicting data suggesting that isotretinoin may cause an untoward effect on w...

Jacobson A, Guilloteau F, Campbell P, Denham C. Comparison of point-of-care testing and standard reference laboratory testing for PT/INR measure- ments in patients receiving routine warfarin therapy: an engineering work process flow study. Dis Manage and Clin Out. 2000;2....
The Alere INRatio PT/INR monitor system is used by patients prescribed to the anticoagulant medication (blood thinner) warfarin. It is an electronic device powered by battery or power supply which tracks the PT/INR levels in a patient’s blood. The Alere INRatio PT/INR monitor system works ...
S/E: hot flashes and has a risk of blood clots. What is an oncogene? is a protein that can turn a normal cell into a cancer cell HER2 What does the HER2 mutation do? Promotes breast tumor growth. What is one medication that binds to the HER2 receptor preventing dimerization? Trastuzumab...
TCPTP shares multiple potentially oncogenic targets with PTP61F, including the EGFR-family member ErbB1 (also related to Drosophila EGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs; related to Drosophila PVR signalling), insulin receptor (IR; related to Drosophila INR signalling), and ...
These findings suggest that PtpB mediates a relevant protective effect against phagocytosis by PMNs in blood. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2021, 22, 5342 Recent work demonstrated that PtpB contributes to the ability of S. aureus to survive inside macrophages [8]. However, it remains unknown whether ...
