OBJECTIVE: Despite extensive research on both body image and coping, little attention has
been given to their interface. This investigation examined the reliability and validity of the …

Erythrocytes promoted platelet reactivity in a plasma medium, as demonstrated in an in vitro
system that independently evaluated the biochemistry of platelet activation and recruitment …

Erythrocytes are known to influence hemostasis. Bleeding times are prolonged in anemia
and corrected by normalizing the hematocrit. We now demonstrate that intact erythrocytes …

Activated platelets release biologically active compounds, which then recruit additional
platelets into an evolving thrombus. We studied activation of αIIbβ3 and exposure of P …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are networks of DNA, histones, and proteolytic
enzymes produced by activated neutrophils through different mechanisms. NET formation is …

Background—Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA) is widely used for secondary prevention of
ischemic vascular events, although its protection only occurs in 25% of patients. We …

Plasma malondialdehyde-like material (MDA-LM) was evaluated in 138 normal subjects and
in a group of 57 stroke patients using a modification of the method of Smith et al.(1976). The …

The anaerobic digestion process is applied worldwide in the treatment of various organic
wastes, allowing energy production from biogas and organic recovery from digested sludge …

Aim Few studies specifically focus on elderly splenectomized immune thrombocytopenia
(ITP) patients. Older patients with ITP and excellent health are often excluded from surgery …
