Effects of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers on blood coagulation. [PDF]
For many decades, Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been central in the development of resuscitation agents that might provide oxygen delivery in addition to simple volume expansion.

Hemostatic disturbances in acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
Background: Stroke is the 2nd most common cause of death after ischemic heart disease. About 85% of all strokes are caused by a thrombus or an embolus in the cerebral circulation.

Intravascular tissue factor initiates coagulation via circulating microvesicles and platelets [PDF]
Although tissue factor (TF), the principial initiator of physiological coagulation and pathological thrombosis, has recently been proposed to be present in human blood, the functional significance and location of the intravascular TF is unknown.

Multifrequency acoustics as a probe of mesoscopic blood coagulation dynamics [PDF]
Coagulation is a complex enzymatic polymerisation cascade. Disordered coagulation is common in medicine and may be life-threatening yet clinical assays are typically bulky and/or provide an incomplete picture of clot mechanical evolution.

Effect of rofecoxib on platelet aggregation and blood loss in gynaecological and breast surgery compared with diclofenac [PDF]
Background. Non‐selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors or non‐steroidal anti‐ inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently omitted for perioperative pain relief because of potential side‐effects.
