Comparison of the aPTT With Alternative Tests for Monitoring Direct Thrombin Inhibitors in Patient Samples [PDF]
The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) test has been used for years to monitor parenteral direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) and unfractionated heparin. Because the aPTT correlates poorly with unfractionated heparin levels, we hypothesized that the aPTT may not be the best test for monitoring parenteral DTIs.Using 235 excess plasma specimens ...

Hypercoagulability progresses to hypocoagulability during evolution of acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in pigs [PDF]
Increases in prothrombin time (PT) and international normalised ratio (INR) characterise acute liver injury (ALI) and failure (ALF), yet a wide heterogeneity in clotting abnormalities exists.

Bleeding Risk in Children with Preoperative Prolonged Coagulation Tests
Objective: Prolonged coagulation test is a common finding before surgery. This study determined the prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and/or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) during the surgical preparation of pediatric patients.

Platelet inhibitory effects of the Phase 3 anticancer and normal tissue cytoprotective agent, RRx-001. [PDF]
The platelet inhibitory effects of the Phase 3 anticancer agent and nitric oxide (NO) donor, RRx-001, (1-bromoacetyl-3,3-dinitroazetidine) were examined ex vivo and compared with the diazeniumdiolate NO donor, diethylenetriamine NONOate (DETA-NONOate ...

Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 40 mg/day of atorvastatin in reducing the severity of sepsis in ward patients (ASEPSIS Trial) [PDF]
Introduction: Several observational studies suggest that statins modulate the pathophysiology of sepsis and may prevent its progression. The aim of this study was to determine if the acute administration of atorvastatin reduces sepsis progression in ...

Resolving DOAC interference on aPTT, PT, and lupus anticoagulant testing by the use of activated carbon [PDF]
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) affect laboratory coagulations tests. Activated carbon (AC) can be used for adsorption of DOACs during acute human intoxications.This study evaluates whether AC can also be used to resolve DOAC interference on in vitro clotting tests (prothrombin time [PT], activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT], and lupus ...

A multifunctional heparinized polyamide membrane embedded with graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (HPEI) is engineered for efficient bilirubin removal via a one‐step anticoagulation–adsorption process. The membrane demonstrates enhanced hemocompatibility, prolonged clotting times, and high bilirubin adsorption capacity ...

No influence of dabigatran anticoagulation on hemorrhagic transformation in an experimental model of ischemic stroke [PDF]
Background: Dabigatran etexilate (DE) is a new oral direct thrombin inhibitor. Clinical trials point towards a favourable risk-to-benefit profile of DE compared to warfarin. In this study, we evaluated whether hemorrhagic transformation (HT) occurs after

aPTT in Heparinized Patients: Influence of the Interval Between Sampling and Testing
Activated partial thromboplastin times (aPTTs) from 29 whole blood samples were drawn from patients receiv ing unfractionated heparin through a constant intravenous drip. Three aPTTs were determined for each whole blood sample. The first aPTT was performed on a separated portion of the original sample at approximately 30 min from the time of sam pling.

FGL2‐HDAC11 Drives Immunothrombosis via NETs‐Mediated Endothelial Capillarization in MASLD Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is frequently accompanied by hepatic fibrosis and systemic cardiovascular complications; however, the mechanistic interplay between coagulation abnormalities and disease progression remains poorly defined.
