Permeability and conductivity of platelet-reinforced membranes and composites [PDF]
We present large scale simulations of the diffusion constant $D$ of a random composite consisting of aligned platelets with aspect ratio $a/b>>1$ in a matrix (with diffusion constant $D_0$) and find that $D/D_0 = 1/(1+ c_1 x + c_2 x^2)$, where $x= a v_f/b$ and $v_f$ is the platelet volume fraction.

Effects of Average Number of Platelets Through the Thickness and Platelet Width on the Mechanical Properties of Discontinuous Fiber Composites [PDF]
In this study, we experimentally and numerically investigate the evolution of the tensile material properties of Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs) with an increasing average number of platelets through the thickness for two different platelet widths.

Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Evaluation of burn sepsis with reference to platelet count as a prognostic indicator
Background: Burn is the oldest form of injury to inflict humankind, and infection is a major challenge in the management of burn patients and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.

Bulk fluid phase behaviour of colloidal platelet-sphere and platelet-polymer mixtures [PDF]
Using a geometry-based fundamental measure density functional theory, we calculate bulk fluid phase diagrams of colloidal mixtures of vanishingly thin hard circular platelets and hard spheres. We find isotropic-nematic phase separation with strong broadening of the biphasic region upon increasing the pressure.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Platelet count in men with a habit of alcohol drinking
Alcohol inhibits platelet function, and platelet count is often reduced in individuals with alcohol use disorder. However, the relation of habitual alcohol drinking with platelet count in a general population remains to be determined.

Correlation of platelet indices with severity of pre-eclampsia: a prospective study from central India [PDF]
Background: Although it is generally accepted that the haemoglobin concentration decreases and white cell count increases during normal pregnancy, there is less accord regarding changes in platelet indices.

Platelet Counting with a Laser Nephelometer [PDF]
A method for platelet counting is described, based on the Laser nephelometric principle. Experimental results are reported, together with the practical considerations for the standardisation and correlation of the method, and for application of the method in the routine biochemical laboratory.
