Mechanisms of blood coagulation by direct contact of nonthermal atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma are investigated. This paper shows that no significant changes occur in the pH or Ca2+ concentration of blood during discharge treatment. Thermal effects and electric field effects are also shown to be negligible. Investigating ...

Abstract Thrombophilia can be defined as an increased, persistent tendency to venous thrombosis. It can be acquired or inherited. The annual incidence of venous thrombosis is about 1 per 1000 in the adult population. Inherited thrombophilia may be caused by several genetic defects that mostly result in deficient inhibition of ...

An important pathogenic property was found in the power to coagulate citrated blood. This ability is possessed only by staph. from purulent processes. The biochemical activity or pathogenicity generally has a parallel ascent with the appearance of hemolysis (with 1% rabbit blood agar), milk coagulation and coagulation of citrated blood. ...

A study of blood coagulation in rhesus monkeys with pneumonic plague led to the conclusion that the hemorrhagic tendency in this infection is caused by intravascular coagulation, with depletion of clotting factors. Thrombocytopenia develops 24 to 48 hours before death. Clotting and prothrombin times are significantly prolonged 48 to 96 ...

A speeding up of blood coagulation is observed in white mice and guinea pigs in the first days following infection with a virulent strain of the plague microbe. The blood coagulation time in white mice during the last stage of plague is increased. In the majority of guinea pigs no ...

Blood coagulation values for normal sheep and lambs, using commercially available reagents for human coagulation, are reported. Of the domestic animal species for which coagulation values have been reported, the sheep most closely resembles those of humans. Factor VII deficiency has been found in some patients with Dubin Johnson syndrome. ...

Positive results have been obtained in but a single set of experiments, namely those in which turpentine was employed. In so far as the results of this preliminary study go, one is led to the conclusion that thrombosis is most readily induced when active inflammatory lesions exist in the blood ...

The coagulation time of the blood is generally prolonged during the acute stage of lobar pneumonia, returning to normal during the period of convalescence. There seems to be a simultaneous increase in the quantity of circulating fibrinogen. The lengthening of the coagulation time is probably due to an increased formation ...

1. In experimental wounds, made by removing various sized pieces of skin from the frog, there is a rapid coagulation of the blood plasma and lymph to form a coagulation tissue which fills the wound cavity. 2. The observations on the living animals show that the coagulation a grave intoxication, ...

Intestinal obstruction, as a rule, is associated with an increasing amount of non-coagulable nitrogen in the blood. With acute intoxication the rise in non-coagulable nitrogen may be rapid and reach as high as three or even ten times normal. With more chronic intoxication there may be little or no rise ...

1. In pig embryos of 100 to 270 mm. the average coagulation time of the blood was found to be about 23 minutes. This represents a coagulation time six to eight times greater than that obtained for the adult. 2. The first evidence of coagulation in the blood of these ...

Certain specimens of human semen shorten the coagulation time of whole blood because of the presence of active thromboplastic agents, while other samples prolong its coagulation time. Human prostatic fluid in large amounts always delays or abolishes blood coagulation. The delay or absence of clotting is counteracted by adding calcium ...

1. Serum antitrypsin and pancreatic trypsin inhibitor inhibited the coagulation of plasma in vitro. 2. This could be largely prevented by trypsin. 3. The anticoagulant action of the trypsin inhibitor was apparently due to its antiprothrombic action. It had no appreciable antithrombic action. 4. Examination of the blood of two ...

Description is given of changes in blood coagulability found in diseases of the rabbit, including malignant tumor, spontaneous infections, non-bacterial diseases and lesions, and hemorrhagic states specifically induced. The changes involved variously the time of onset of blood coagulation, clot formation rate and the rate and extent of clot retraction.

Factor G, a coagulation proenzyme of the Japanese horseshoe crab (Tachypleus tridentatus), is extremely sensitive to (1→3)-β-D-glucan, which is a characteristic cell-wall constituent of fungi. Using this factor and by a digestion study with (1→3)-β-D-glucan, we showed that blood from patients with deep m ycosis contains the glucan. It was ...

When microprocessor technology is applied to an old established standard for monitoring whole blood coagulation, it removed the methods from the specialized research reference laboratory and put it into the realm of the clinical laboratory. Now, Thrombelastography of whole blood clot formation and lysis is faster, more accurate and easier ...
