The term TMA is a pathologic term used to describe occlusive microvascular or macrovascular disease, often with intraluminal thrombus formation, but is also defined clinically by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia (MAHAT). This does not specifically define a condition; therefore, furth...
A term that refers to the number of chemical bonds between two atoms. Here it refers to the number of integrin-binding sites presented by a given adhesive ligand. Microcluster A loosely defined term that refers to a non-covalent oligomer of integrins on the cell surface that appears as a ...
Some patients may have long-term damage to the central nervous system including lack of concentration, memory loss, cognitive impairment, language disorder and ataxia [29]. Coagulation Direct heat damage and heat-related liver function abnormality can both cause impaired coagulation, which is ...
Static obstruction of branch vessels results from a false lumen markedly compressing the true lumen at or near the ostium, with no distal fenestration/reentry tear, intussusception of the flap into the ostium, or false lumen-associated thrombus formation that creates static obstruction (Figure 3)....
Although the term “ferroptosis” was first coined by Dixon et al. in 2012 (Fig.1a), a similar form of neuronal cell death triggered by cysteine depletion called “oxytosis” was reported by Murphy et al. back in 1989;8this neuronal cell death was induced by the excitotoxin glutamate b...
How long would you administer low-molecular-weight heparin, either a prophylactic or therapeutic dose, postoperatively? Dr. Fogerty:The first principle in determining whether anticoagulation is indicated is to differentiate tumor thrombus from traditional thrombus, which is often classified as bland ...
Therefore, for small AAAs, the rapid increase in intraluminal thrombus burden should be used as a new gold standard for early surgical repair, rather than relying on the diameter of the AAA to determine the timing of surgical repair. One limitation common to all of the above studies was that...
there is insufficient evidence to suggest that thromboxane could be used in clinical practice as a marker of ischemic stroke. The inclusion of ASA in the prevention of stroke has a beneficial effect that is associated with the effect on thromboxane. However, its insufficient power in 25% or eve...
