Factors Associated With Bilateral Involvement in Non‐Infectious Labyrinthitis: A Case–Control Study

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Non‐infectious labyrinthitis may progress from unilateral to bilateral inner‐ear involvement, resulting in greater functional impairment. In this retrospective case–control study of 50 patients, younger age, female sex, and the presence of systemic disease were associated with bilateral involvement. These exploratory findings may help identify patients

Variations in activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time in individuals of A, B, AB, and O blood groups

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Hematology, 2018
Background: Differences in blood group have been associated with predisposition to some diseases. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) measures the efficiency of the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways, whereas prothrombin time (PT) test ...

von Willebrand factor activity and activated partial thromboplastin time as proxy biomarkers for coagulopathies in women with menorrhagia in Zambia: a case-control study

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2021
INTRODUCTION: von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most prevalent bleeding disorder. Women are more likely to manifest abnormal bleeding symptoms due to physiologic events and menorrhagia is the most common presenting symptom.

Skeletal Muscle Mass Improvement and Survival After TIPS in Patients With Cirrhosis and Low Skeletal Muscle Index

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Sarcopenia is common in patients with cirrhosis and contributes to poor prognosis. This study investigated whether transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is associated with improvement in skeletal muscle mass and whether such improvement translates into better transplant‐free survival in patients with cirrhosis and low skeletal muscle ...

Effect of plasma storage on prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time at a Nigerian public laboratory

open access: yesSahel Medical Journal, 2013
Background: Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) are the tests used in the investigation and monitoring of hemostatic disorders. Plasma is used to perform these tests immediately or stored for later use.

The Relationship Between Blood Lipids, Coagulation Indexes, Blood Homocysteine and Sudden Deafness: A Retrospective Study and Mendelian Randomization Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Certain blood components, including blood lipids, coagulation parameters, and homocysteine, have been suggested to correlate with the incidence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). However, the nature of these associations remains controversial.

Evolutionary Mechanisms of Coagulation Factors in Cetaceans During Aquatic Adaptation

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Compared with Bos taurus, T. truncatus showed shorter prothrombin time and thrombin time but prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, indicating pathway‐specific remodeling of coagulation. Evolutionary analyses identified 18 positively selected genes and accelerated F11 evolution, while functional assays revealed increased coagulation factor ...
