Stability of measurement of the immature platelet fraction [PDF]

American Journal of Hematology, 2010
Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a heterogeneous clinical entity for which no simple diagnostic test exists. The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), a marker of Reticulated Platelets (RP), is a good indicator of thrombopoiesis and can identify accelerated destruction of platelets by demonstrating compensatory increased platelet production.

Employment Trajectories of Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Factors Driving Transitions Between States

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) significantly impacts employment capacity. This study aimed to investigate the impact of burden of disease activity, damage, and treatment on employment outcomes and transitions in patients with SLE. Methods Using data from a single center, we analyzed employment transitions, adjusted mean disease activity ...

Studies of fibrinogen binding to porcine platelets by flow cytometry : A method for studies of porcine platelet activation

, 2002
Platelets have a central function in haemostasis. They also participate in arterial thrombus formation in vascular disorders. Platelets have an important role in initiating and mediating ischaemia and related complications of ischemic heart disease ...

Platelets in Malarial Infection: Protective or Pathological?

, 2020
Platelets play an ambiguous role in a malarial infection. On the one hand, platelets have been implicated adversely in cerebral malaria. They stick to the cerebral endothelium and mediate the adhesion of infected erythrocytes, with the postulated outcome

Immature platelet dynamics are associated with clinical outcomes after major trauma. [PDF]

, 2023
BACKGROUND: Major trauma results in dramatic changes in platelet behavior. Newly formed platelets are more reactive than older platelets, but their contributions to hemostasis and thrombosis after severe injury have not been previously evaluated ...

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

Immature Platelet Fraction: A Platelet Parameter With Significant Clinical Utility [PDF]

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2015
Mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and the calculated plateletcrit (PCT) are reported to be useful in thrombocytopenia to assess platelet regeneration in the marrow. Our hypothesis was that the immature platelet fraction (IPF) is the most significant platelet parameter in patients with thrombocytopenia.

Capture of platelets to the endothelium of the femoral vein is mediated by CD62P and CD162.

, 2009
Platelets contribute to blood coagulation at sites of vascular injury and to the recruitment of leukocytes at sites of inflammation. Under pathological conditions, platelets are involved in numerous diseases and clinical complications, such as deep ...

Ultra‐Thin Tow‐Based Discontinuous Composites—Material Overview and Aspirations

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Tow‐based discontinuous composites made from ultra‐thin tapes offer outstanding in‐plane mechanical properties. This material, inspired by Nacre, has high volume fraction of tapes exceeding 90 % and allows for quasi‐isotropic material plates less than 100 micrometer in thickness.
