blood- the fluid (red in vertebrates) that is pumped through the body by the heart and contains plasma, blood cells, and platelets; "blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and carries away waste products"; "the ancients believed that blood was the seat of the emotions" ...
George Hospital, Sydney, Australia, 2 Sout... B Introduction b : Arterial blood gases (ABG) are vital in quantifying arterial oxygenation. The gold standard is to obtain ABG for the titration of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.Respirol...
Comparative evaluation of central venous versus arterial blood sample for repetitive measurements in critically ill patients admitted in intensive care unit Assessing acid-base status in circulatory failure: Differences between arterial and central venous blood. N Engl J Med. Arterial versus venous referenc...
the lupus anticoagulant is associated with venous and arterial thromboembolic disease and spontaneous abortions but is usually not a cause of clinicalbleeding. If these study findings are negative, thethrombin timeshould be measured or a comparison of functional and antigenic levels offibrinogenshould be...

Most current circulating miRNA biomarkers are derived from peripheral venous blood, whereas miRNA deregulation in arterial blood in disease conditions has been largely ignored. To explore whether peripheral venous blood miRNAs could represent a bona fide specific miRNA deregulation pattern, we selected hype...
Blood gas analysis is integral to assessing emergency department (ED) patients with acute respiratory or metabolic disease. Arterial blood gas (ABG) is the gold standard for oxygenation, ventilation, and acid–base status but is painful to obtain. Peripheral venous blood gas (VBG) is a valuable...
Comorbidities: infection, renal disease, pulmonary disease, obesity, arterial thromboembolism Inherited prothrombotic mutations: factor V Leiden, prothrombin gene mutation Prior history of venous thromboembolism Poor performance status Candidate biomarkers Blood counts Pre-chemotherapy platelet count of ≥350,000...
Thirteen patients with angina pectoris underwent measurements of great cardiac vein blood flow at rest, with the onset of angina pectoris induced by atrial pacing, and again during angina pectoris induced by exercise in order to compare the regional coronary blood flow response to differing myocardial...
Blood circulation mainly aims at distributing the nutrients required for tissue metabolism and collecting safely the by-products of all tissues to be further metabolized or eliminated. The simultaneous study of arterial (A) and venous (V) specific metabolites therefore has appeared to be a more rele...
