Blood coagulation factor VIII: An overview
Factor VIII (FVIII) functions as a co-factor in the blood coagulation cascade for the proteolytic activation of factor X by factor IXa. Deficiency of FVIII causes hemophilia A, the most commonly inherited bleeding disorder. This review highlights current knowledge on selected aspects of FVIII in which both the scientist and the clinician should be ...

Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding in a patient with factor VII deficiency: a case controlled with tranexamic acid [PDF]
Factor VII deficiency is a rare, inherited coagulopathy, which can lead to prolonged bleeding. Here, we present a case report of an adolescent with factor VII deficiency who experienced small bowel bleeding that was successfully treated with tranexamic ...

It Is Written in the Clot: Coagulation Assessment in Severe Burn Injury
Background: Coagulopathy in severe burn injury is associated with complications and mortality. Methods: We compared 3 tests (EXTEM, INTEM, FIBTEM) of rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), a viscoelastic coagulation assay (VCA), with conventional ...

Mathematical modeling of thrombus formation in idealized models of aortic dissection: Initial findings and potential applications [PDF]
Aortic dissection is a major aortic catastrophe with a high morbidity and mortality risk caused by the formation of a tear in the aortic wall. The development of a second blood filled region defined as the “false lumen” causes highly disturbed flow ...
