Studies on an antifibrinolytic agent trans-AMCHA [PDF]
Lysis of fibrin was first recognized by MORGAGNI in 1769, observing a liquid blood in a patient of acute death, and the phenomenon was named as fibrinolysis by DASTRE in 1893.

Usefulness of regional right ventricular and right atrial strain for prediction of early and late right ventricular failure following a left ventricular assist device implant: A machine learning approach [PDF]
Background: Identifying candidates for left ventricular assist device surgery at risk of right ventricular failure remains difficult. The aim was to identify the most accurate predictors of right ventricular failure among clinical, biological, and ...

Blood Damage in the Heart-Lung Machine
Heart-lung machines can effectively oxygenate blood, but their prolonged use causes difficulties not directly related to the patient's heart condition or the specific procedures used to correct it. In extreme cases a patient may be seriously affected and may develop thromboses, abnormal permeability of the vascular system (particularly in the lungs ...

Infections through blood from heart-lung machine [PDF]
Of 657 cultures of blood from the heart-lung machine during operations performed with extra-corporeal circulation, 16 (2ยท4%) proved to be positive. Of these 16 patients, 12 showed no clinical infective symptoms. The case histories of the remaining four patients are presented.

Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence
The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular
