Asthma is characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways, contraction of smooth muscle, overproduction of mucus, and remodeling of the airway wall. In many forms of asthma, there is an accumulation of eosinophils, which predicts a good response to inhaled glucocorticoids.

Dust growth in the interstellar medium: How do accretion and coagulation interplay? [PDF]
Dust grains grow in interstellar clouds by accretion and coagulation. In this paper, we focus on these two grain growth processes and numerically investigate how they interplay to increase the grain radii. We show that accretion efficiently depletes grains with radii $a\la 0.001 \micron$ on a time-scale of $\la 10$ Myr in solar-metallicity molecular ...

Measure solutions for the Smoluchowski coagulation-diffusion equation [PDF]
A notion of measure solution is formulated for a coagulation-diffusion equation, which is the natural counterpart of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation in a spatially inhomogeneous setting. Some general properties of such solutions are established.

Weak solutions to the continuous coagulation equation with multiple fragmentation [PDF]
The existence of weak solutions to the continuous coagulation equation with multiple fragmentation is shown for a class of unbounded coagulation and fragmentation kernels, the fragmentation kernel having possibly a singularity at the origin. This result extends previous ones where either boundedness of the coagulation kernel or no singularity at the ...

An asymptotically stable scheme for diffusive coagulation-fragmentation models [PDF]
This paper is devoted to the analysis of a numerical scheme for the coagulation and fragmentation equation with diffusion in space. A finite volume scheme is developed, based on a conservative formulation of the space nonhomogeneous coagulation-fragmentation model, it is shown that the scheme preserves positivity, total volume and global steady states.

Genome-Wide Multiple Sclerosis Association Data and Coagulation [PDF]
The emerging concept of a crosstalk between hemostasis, inflammation, and immune system prompt recent works on coagulation cascade in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Assessing the individual roles of FII, FV, and FX activity in the thrombin generation process
Thrombin generation (TG) is known as a physiological approach to assess the hemostatic function. Although it correlates well with thrombosis and bleeding, in the current setup it is not sensitive to the effects of fluctuations in single coagulation ...

Background Heparins and heparinoids interfere with functional clotting assays used for lupus anticoagulant (LAC) detection. However, current guidelines for LAC testing do not provide clear guidance on this matter.

Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) − characterized by the distinct clinical phenotypes of both oculocutaneous albinism and mild bleeding diathesis–is caused by mutations in genes that have crucial roles in the assembly of cellular organelles (skin ...
