Determination of volume, shape and refractive index of individual blood platelets [PDF]
J.Quant.Spectrosc.Radiat.Transf. 102(1):37-45 (2006), 2008 Light scattering patterns (LSP) of blood platelets were theoretically and experimentally analyzed. We used spicular spheroids as a model for the platelets with pseudopodia. The discrete dipole approximation was employed to simulate light scattering from an individual spicular spheroid constructed from a homogeneous oblate spheroid and 14 rectilinear ...

Chemokines in depression in health and in inflammatory illness: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2018 Inflammatory illness is associated with depression. Preclinical work has shown that chemokines are linked with peripheral–central crosstalk and may be important in mediating depressive behaviours.

Use of microfluidics to assess the platelet-based control of coagulation
Platelets, 2017 This paper provides an overview of the various types of microfluidic devices that are employed to study the complex processes of platelet activation and blood coagulation in whole blood under flow conditions. We elaborate on how these devices are used to

Three-dimensional Multiscale Model of Deformable Platelets Adhesion to Vessel Wall in Blood Flow [PDF]
, 2013 When a blood vessel ruptures or gets inflamed, the human body responds by rapidly forming a clot to restrict the loss of blood. Platelets aggregation at the injury site of the blood vessel occurring via platelet-platelet adhesion, tethering and rolling on the injured endothelium is a critical initial step in blood clot formation.

Palabos-npFEM: Software for the Simulation of Cellular Blood Flow (Digital Blood) [PDF]
Journal of Open Research Software (2021), 2020 Palabos-npFEM is a computational framework for the simulation of blood flow with fully resolved constituents. The software resolves the trajectories and deformed state of blood cells, such as red blood cells and platelets, and the complex interaction between them. The tool combines the lattice Boltzmann solver Palabos for the simulation of blood plasma

Prevalence of platelet reactive antibodies in patient′s refractory to platelet transfusions
Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2014 Introduction & Aims: Though platelet transfusions have greatly reduced the incidence of major haemorrhagic complications associated with the management of haematological and oncological disorders, refractoriness to infused platelets becomes a major ...

Splanchnic vein thrombosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms: Pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms of disease [PDF]
, 2016 Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are the most common underlying prothrombotic disorder found in patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT). Clinical risk factors for MPN-associated SVTs include younger age, female sex, concomitant hypercoagulable ...

Current Knowledge on Inherited Platelet Function Disorders
Clinical Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, 2020 Inherited platelet function disorders (IPFDs) are rare and underdiagnosed in individuals with clinically significant bleeding diathesis. IPFDs are classified according to the causative molecular defects involved in the process of primary hemostasis of ...

Dysregulation of platelet serotonin, 14–3–3, and GPIX in sudden infant death syndrome
Scientific ReportsSudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the leading cause of post-neonatal infant mortality, but the underlying cause(s) are unclear. A subset of SIDS infants has abnormalities in the neurotransmitter, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) and the ...
