Effect of Streptokinase on Hemostasis [PDF]
Abstract The effect of streptokinase on hemostasis was studied by direct observation of hemostatic plugs in the rabbit mesentery. Infusion of streptokinase did not produce dissolution of hemostatic plugs which were already formed. It did cause a delay in the formation of a platelet mass capable of arresting bleeding from injured vessels.

Abstract Human plasminogen (hPg) binding M‐protein (PAM) is a major virulence determinant of Group A Streptococcus (GAS). PAM contains irregularly spaced heptad repeats, particularly within its C‐ and D‐domains. Our recent cryo‐EM structure of PAM from GAS strain AP53 (PAMAP53) revealed that these repeats do not favor coiled‐coil formation, but instead

Differential effects of tissue plasminogen activator and streptokinase on infarct size and on rate of enzyme release: influence of early infarct related artery patency: The GUSTO Enzyme Substudy [PDF]
Background The recent international GUSTO trial of 41 021 patients with acute myocardial infarction demonstrated improved 90-mm infarct related artery patency as well as reduced mortality in patients treated with an accelerated regimen of tissue ...

Interactions between bacteria and the extracellular matrix are a prerequisite for colonisation and infection. Phylogenetically diverse M proteins of group A Streptococcus (GAS) can selectively bind sulfated glycosaminoglycans with high affinity. M protein‐mediated recruitment of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate was shown to increase GAS ...

The measurement of anti-streptokinase antibodies can distinguish the patients who may benefit from streptokinase and those who should be treated with some other thrombolytic regimen.

The Economics of Healthcare Rationing [PDF]
This article examines the economics of healthcare rationing. We begin with an overview of the various dimensions across which healthcare rationing operates, or at least has the potential to operate, in the first place.

Tissue plasminogen activator dose and pulmonary artery pressure reduction in catheter directed thrombolysis of submassive pulmonary embolism. [PDF]
PURPOSE:The purpose of this study is to assess the incremental effect of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) dose on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and bleeding during catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) of submassive pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis:Current Status and Challenges
Our review introduces treatment strategies for short‐term, long‐term, and permanent CVT risk factors, focusing on anticoagulant selection and treatment duration. We also discuss the current status of endovascular therapy for CVT, noting that it remains a challenge due to limited evidence, and more research is needed to optimize this approach.

Evaluation of In vivo Bioactivity of a Mutated Streptokinase
Background: Immunogenicity of Streptokinase, as a thrombolytic drug, has limited its clinical use. Elimination of the amino acid residues that are responsible for immunogenicity while don’t affect the bioactivity of streptokinase is worthy. Recently, we
