Comprehensive Analyses of Coagulation Parameters in Patients with Vascular Anomalies

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Background: Vascular anomalies comprise a diverse group of rare diseases with altered blood flow and are often associated with coagulation disorders. The most common example is a localized intravascular coagulopathy in venous malformations leading to ...

von Willebrand factor propeptide: biology and clinical utility.

open access: yesBlood, 2015
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric glycoprotein that mediates the attachment of platelets to damaged endothelium and also serves as the carrier protein for coagulation factor VIII (FVIII), protecting it from proteolytic degradation ...

Predicting Shape Development: a Riemannian Method [PDF]

open access: yesShape in Medical Imaging, pp. 211-222, 2023, 2022
Predicting the future development of an anatomical shape from a single baseline observation is a challenging task. But it can be essential for clinical decision-making. Research has shown that it should be tackled in curved shape spaces, as (e.g., disease-related) shape changes frequently expose nonlinear characteristics.

ADAMTS proteinases: a multi-domain, multi-functional family with roles in extracellular matrix turnover and arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Members of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family are known to influence development, angiogenesis, coagulation and progression of arthritis.

Von Willebrand Factor, Angiodysplasia and Angiogenesis

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2013
The large multimeric glycoprotein Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is best known for its role in haemostasis; however in recent years other functions of VWF have been identified, indicating that this protein is involved in multiple vascular processes.

Beyond Barker: Infant Mortality at Birth and Ischaemic Heart Disease in Older Age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Adverse conditions in early life can have consequential impacts on individuals' health in older age. In one of the first papers on this topic, Barker and Osmond 1986 show a strong positive relationship between infant mortality rates in the 1920s and ischaemic heart disease in the 1970s.

Shear-induced acquired von Willebrand syndrome: an accomplice of bleeding events in adults on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an increasingly acceptable life-saving mechanical assistance system that provides cardiac and/or respiratory support for several reversible or treatable diseases.

Dental management considerations for the patient with an acquired coagulopathy. Part 1: Coagulopathies from systemic disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Current teaching suggests that many patients are at risk for prolonged bleeding during and following invasive dental procedures, due to an acquired coagulopathy from systemic disease and/or from medications.

Changes of von Willebrand Factor during Pregnancy in Women with and without von Willebrand Disease

open access: yesMediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2013
Delivery in von Willebrand disease (VWD) represents a significant hemostatic challenge because of the variable pattern of changes observed during pregnancy of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII), the protein carried by VWF.

Shear-Induced Unfolding Activates von Willebrand Factor A2 Domain for Proteolysis [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Thromb. Haemost. 2009 (7), 2096-2105, 2009
To avoid pathological platelet aggregation by von Willebrand factor (VWF), VWF multimers are regulated in size and reactivity for adhesion by ADAMTS13-mediated proteolysis in a shear flow dependent manner. We examined if tensile stress in VWF under shear flow activates the VWF A2 domain for cleavage by ADAMTS13 using molecular dynamics simulations.
