Abstract

A method for the determination of the frequency-distribution of emboli in banked blood has been described. A significant shift towards larger emboli in banked blood can only be demonstrated within the first 10 days of storage. The possibility of a disturbance of microcirculation of the lung may only be of a higher degree after massive blood transfusions as the concentration of emboli in banked blood is relatively low.

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
