ABSTRACT Thrombocytopenia (TCP) is a well‐known contraindication for thrombolytic therapy due to the associated risk of bleeding. This report discusses a 34‐year‐old woman presented with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) and severe TCP. She was treated with systemic thrombolysis (ST), and fortunately, a good therapeutic response was achieved without ...

Activation of decarboxyfactor X by a protein from Russel's Viper venom:Purification and partial characterization of activated decarboxyfactor X [PDF]
Incubation of [bovine] decarboxyfactor X with the factor X-activating enzyme from Russell''s viper venom revealed the generation of amidase activity towards Bz-Ile-Glu-Gly-Arg-p NA, but not of activity in blood coagulation.

Objective Antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) syndrome (APS) classification requires a thrombotic event and detection of lupus anticoagulant (LAC), anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), or anti–β2‐glycoprotein I (anti‐β2GPI) antibodies on two occasions ≥12 weeks apart. Here, we investigated the utility of anti–phosphatidylserine/prothrombin complex (anti‐PS/PT)

ABSTRACT Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), macro‐ and micro‐vascular thromboembolic complications. Lupus anticoagulant‐hypoprothrombinemia (LAHPS) may confound the diagnosis and management of bleeding. Catastrophic APS has a category 1 indication for therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE).

Understanding Suitable Habitats and Anthropogenic Mortality Risks for King Cobras in Nepal
The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), a vulnerable species, faces significant habitat loss and mortality risks in Nepal. Using ensemble modeling with 553 occurrence records, this study identified 23,702.62 km2 of suitable habitat, projecting up to 22% habitat loss by 2050 under SSP2‐4.5 climate scenarios.
