Intraindividual variability of von Willebrand factor and the need for repeated testing

open access: yesResearch and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Diagnosing von Willebrand disease (VWD) is complicated by intraindividual variation of von Willebrand factor (VWF). Current guidelines define VWD as VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) or VWF activity of

Nucleosomes and neutrophil extracellular traps in septic and burn patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
NETosis is a host defense mechanism associated with inflammation and tissue damage. Experimental models show that platelets and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are key elements for intravascular NETosis. We determined NETosis in septic and burn patients at 1

Hemostatic factors and risk of coronary heart disease in general populations: new prospective study and updated meta-analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<p>Background: Activation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis may be associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease. We aimed to assess associations of circulating tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) antigen, D-dimer and von Willebrand ...

Review Dental Treatment of Patients with Congenital Bleeding Disorders

open access: yesČeská Stomatologie a Praktické Zubní Lékařství, 2014
Objectives: The commonest congenital bleeding disorders in childhood are hemophilia, von Willebrand disease and deficiency of factor XI. Disease is characterized by a deficient of coagulability. It is a gonosomal recessive condition.

Lower levels of vWF are associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease

open access: yesResearch and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2022
Objective The current study was undertaken to prospectively explore whether having low levels of von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen and vWF activity reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease and death. Methods VWF antigen and vWF activity were measured

Microfluidic flow chambers using reconstituted blood to model hemostasis and platelet transfusion in vitro [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Blood platelets prepared for transfusion gradually lose hemostatic function during storage. Platelet function can be investigated using a variety of (indirect) in vitro experiments, but none of these is as comprehensive as microfluidic flow chambers.

Type 2A von Willebrand disease and systemic sclerosis: Vonicog alfa reduced gastrointestinal bleeding

open access: yesResearch and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder caused by qualitative or quantitative defects of von Willebrand factor (VWF). This case report of a patient with systemic sclerosis and gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasias seeks to address ...

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases that have diverse roles in tissue morphogenesis and patho-physiological remodeling, in ...

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Elevated DDX3X expression led to downregulation of BMPR2, a key regulator of endothelial homeostasis and function. Our co‐immunoprecipitation assays further demonstrated a molecular interaction between DDX3X and BMPR2. Notably, DDX3X promoted lysosomal degradation of BMPR2, thereby impairing its downstream signaling and facilitating endothelial‐to ...

Acquired von Willebrand disease: from theory to practice. A single center experience - three case reports

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2016
Acquired von Willebrand disease (AvWD) represents a rare, potentially severe and most likely underdiagnosed category of hemorrhagic syndromes determined by quantitative, qualitative or functional, nonhereditary, alterations of von Willebrand factor (vWF)
