Comparison of intrapleural use of urokinase and tissue plasminogen activator/DNAse in pleural infection

ERJ Open Research, 2019
Fibrinolysis can be used to improve fluid drainage in pleural infection. Treatment with either urokinase or tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in association with DNAse via a chest tube has been effective at reducing the need for surgery.

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Bleeding related to disturbed fibrinolysis

British Journal of Haematology, 2016
The components and reactions of the fibrinolysis system are well understood. The pathway has fewer reactants and interactions than coagulation, but the generation of a complete quantitative model is complicated by the need to work at the solid‐liquid ...

Biochemical and haemostatic variables associated with metastasis in dogs with carcinoma or sarcoma

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Identify alterations in biochemical and haemostatic variables between tumour‐bearing dogs with and without metastasis that can be used to predict the presence of metastasis. Materials and Methods Thirty dogs with sarcoma and 29 with carcinoma were included in the analysis.

Hyperfibrinolysis: a crucial phenotypic abnormality of posttraumatic fibrinolytic dysfunction

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Traumatic fibrinolytic dysfunction is often categorized into 3 phenotypes based on the result of thromboelastography (TEG) lysis at 30 minutes (LY30): fibrinolysis shutdown, physiologic fibrinolysis, and hyperfibrinolysis.

Role of immunoturbidimetric plasma fibrin D-dimer test in patients with coronary artery disease as well as ischemic heart disease in emergency medicine [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of the present was to assess the value of the ELISA D-dimer (hemostatic marker) assay in patients with coronary artery disease as well as ischemic heart disease presenting to the emergency department with chest pain syndrome. Methods: We measured

Fibrinolysis: from blood to the brain

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2017
We all know about classical fibrinolysis, how plasminogen activation by either tissue‐type plasminogen activator (t‐PA) or urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (u‐PA) promotes fibrin breakdown, and how this process was harnessed for the therapeutic ...

Genetic risk variants implicate impaired maintenance and repair of periodontal tissues as causal for periodontitis—A synthesis of recent findings

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...
