Mobile health interventions to improve adherence to oral anticoagulant treatment: A systematic review and critical analysis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Non‐adherence to oral anticoagulants (OACs) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have been used to improve medication adherence across the three phases of initiation, implementation and persistence.

Diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome following snakebite

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2020
Isolated prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is an exceedingly rare finding in the event of a snakebite from a haemotoxic snake. Herein, we present the case of a 25-year-old asymptomatic female following snakebite.

Comparing outcomes using low‐dose apixaban and anti‐Xa monitoring and vitamin K antagonists in patients with renal replacement therapy

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Guidelines recommend oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism. Outside the United States, apixaban is unlicensed for use in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Activated partial thromboplastin time derivative curves

, 2018
The mixing test is used to evaluate whether prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is due to an inhibitor or a factor deficiency. The coagulation reaction is demonstrated with APTT derivative curves on the ACL TOP series.

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

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

Iraqi 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

The 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.
