Different parameters of fibrinolytic systems like t-PA, PAI, D-dimer, and inhibitors of blood coagulation, i.e., protein C (PC), protein S(PS), and antithrombin III (AT-III), have been studied in cases of acute malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax infection, and these patients w

โฆ Synopsis
The plasminogen levels and the reactivities of plasmas in two commonly used blood coagulation tests have been compared for man and seven mammals. The plasmas of three nonhuman primates in general reacted as did human plasma in tests for plasminogen activation and in reactivity in the partial thromboplastin time test. The dog had the highest level of plasminogen, and the goat the lowest, of the eight species tested. Overall, the pig appeared to have the most reactive blood coagulation mechanism, clotting the fastest and lysing the slowest, while man's was among the least reactive in clotting and intermediate in lytic activity of those tested. Aside from the nonhuman primates, the calf's clotting and lytic mechanisms resembled those of man more nearly than did those of the other mammals tested. The influence of these species differences on selection of animals for in uzio evaluation of blood vascular prosthetic materials and devices is discussed.

To investigate whether there are any basic abnormalities of coagulation and fibrinolysis in muscular dystrophy, we measured serum levels of the MM isozyme of creatine kinase (CK-MM), fibrin and fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), plasma levels of fibrinogen, antithrombin (AT), and D-dimer in 36 p
Cirrhosis is associated with compromised hemostasis and coagulopathy during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). It has been suggested that hemostasis is better preserved during OLT in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) than other cirrhotic states. The aim of this study was to compare coagulation an
Differences in the sizes of sensory and neural structures are used as an indication of differences in the function of those structures. Large VNOs often are interpreted to mean that this sense is particularly important in the life history of the animal. They also are assumed to be associated with mo
