Tissue plasminogen activator-based clot busting: Controlled delivery approaches. [PDF]
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Thrombosis, the formation of blood clot (thrombus) in the circulatory system obstructing the blood flow, is one of the main causes behind various ischemic arterial syndromes such as ...

The urokinase receptor (uPAR) facilitates clearance of Borrelia burgdorferi. [PDF]
The causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, has been shown to induce expression of the urokinase receptor (uPAR); however, the role of uPAR in the immune response against Borrelia has never been investigated.

ST-Elevation myocardial infarction network: systematization in 205 cases reduced clinical events in the public health care system [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The major cause of death in the city of São Paulo (SP) is cardiac events. At its periphery, in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction is estimated to range between 15% and 20% due to difficulties inherent in large metropoles ...

Effect of the administration of recombinant hirudin and/or tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) on endotoxin-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation model in rabbits [PDF]
We evaluated the effect of r-hirudin and/or tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) in a model of DIC in rabbits induced by i.v. infusion of 100 micrograms/kg/h/6 h endotoxin. Rabbits were treated with saline (endotoxin control group), r-hirudin at 0.3 mg/kg/

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.
