2. 1. Acute coronary syndrome : bleeding, platelets and gender

   Author : Anna Holm; Eva Swahn; Joakim Alfredsson; Sofia Sederholm Lawesson; Christina Christersson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : BACKGROUNDBleeding complications increase mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Potential gender difference in bleeding regarding prevalence, location, severity and prognostic impact is still controversial and not well investigated. In regard to this aspect the relevance of triple antithrombotic therapy (TAT) is questioned. READ MORE

4. 2. Experimental studies on thrombosis and thrombolysis : With special reference to importance of lys-plasminogen, active site thrombin inhibitors and stable fish oil

   Author : Liying Chen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Thrombolysis; thrombosis; recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator; lys- and glu-plasminogen; aspirin; thrombin inhibitors; platelets; superoxide dismutase; stable fish oil; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; rättsmedicin; Forensic Medicine;

   Abstract : Dissolution and prevention of thrombus in the atherosclerotic coronary artery have become an important part of treatment therapy of acute myocardial infarction. However, the currently most effective thrombolytic agent, recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA), only elicits 80% recanalization of thrombotically occluded coronary arteries and early occlusion occurs in about 40% of successfullyrecanalized vessels.

5. 3. Experimental and Clinical Studies on Platelet Receptors in Cardiovascular Disease

   Author : Oscar Braun; Kardiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; inflammation; athersosclerosis; platelets; thrombosis; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

   Abstract : The crucial role of platelets in maintaining primary hemostais has been evident for a long time and there is now also mounting evidence for their involvement in inflammation. In combination with aspirin, inhibition of the platelet P2Y12 ADP receptor with clopidogrel has become a cornerstone in the antiplatelet in acute coronary syndromes. READ MORE

6. 4. Investigation of Incompatibility Reactions Caused by Biomaterials in Contact with Whole Blood Using a New in vitro Model

   Author : Jaan Hong; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; biomaterials; coagulation; complement; heparin; leukocytes; platelets; PVC; titanium; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Clinical Immunology; klinisk immunologi;

   Abstract : This thesis describes a new in vitro slide chamber model that makes it possible to conduct studies of molecular and cellular interactions between whole blood and biomaterials. The model proved to be a suitable tool for detection of cell and platelet binding to a biomaterial surface. READ MORE

7. 5. Aspects of bleeding complications and hemostasis at central line insertion and mild induced hypothermia

   Author : Thomas Kander; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Central venous catheter. Coagulation. Bleeding complications. Platelets. Mild induced hypothermia. Point of care coagulation tests. Flow cytometry.;

   Abstract : Bleeding complications range from 0.5 to 1.6% in connection with central venous catheter insertions but are more frequent in patients with bone marrow failure and severe thrombocytopenia. Although supportive evidence is scarce, prophylactic platelet transfusion is sometimes performed in these patients before catheter insertion. READ MORE
