A community portal about Coagulation with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The coagulation of blood is a complex process during which blood forms solid clots. It is an important part of hemostasis whereby a damaged blood vessel wall is covered by a fibrin clot to stop hemorrhage and aid repair of the damaged vessel. Disorders in coagulation can lead to increased hemorrhage and/or thrombosis and embolism.

IntroductionVascular malformation is associated with coagulopathies, especially when hemostasis is challenged.Case presentationWe present the case of an 11-year-old Hispanic girl with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome that developed disseminated intravascular coagulation after minor surgery, which was controlled by blood product transfusions and enoxaparin to address an ongoing consumptive coagulopathy. The patient, however, developed...

Venous thromboembolism remains a frequent cause of vascular death. Despite advances in anticoagulant drug development, unmet needs remain, including limited treatment options for patients with severe renal impairment and the inability to fully reverse the effects of anticoagulants approved or in late-stage development. Because coagulation factor IXa plays a pivotal role in tissue factor-mediated thrombin generation, it represents an attractive...

Rivaroxaban is a direct inhibitor of factor Xa, a coagulation factor at a critical juncture in the blood coagulation pathway leading to thrombin generation and clot formation. It is selective for human factor Xa, for which it has >10 000-fold greater selectivity than for other biologically relevant serine proteases (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50], >20 µmol/L). Rivaroxaban inhibits factor Xa in a concentration-dependent manner...

Polyphosphate from blood platelets plays a key role in inflammation and the formation of blood clots, scientists from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have shown. The study, which is presented in the prestigious scientific journal Cell, describes how this mechanism can be used in treatment. Blood clots are a common cause of myocardial infarction and stroke, and they arise when blood coagulates and clogs a blood vessel...

The Swedish Consumers’ Association has joined politicians in criticising the government’s approval of thrombin, known colloquially as ‘meat glue’, claiming that the public could be misled about the properties of the product. “We do not want this at all – it is meat make-up,” said the Association’s Jan Bertoft. A coagulation protein, thrombin is combined with [...]

---at least when the balance is shifted toward microthrombosis:Our observations show that, in the course of human septic shock, activation of coagulation and, particularly, inhibition of activated fibrinolysis are independently associated with hyperlactatemia. This suggests a contribution of DIC resulting from a coagulation/fibrinolysis imbalance to microvascular obstruction, tissue hypoxygenation and thereby to ultimate demise.

Background: Interaction of fibrinogen with specific leukocyte integrins of monocytes may link coagulation and inflammation, however, the precise mechanism of fibrinogen leading to the pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulatory response of monocytes is yet unknown. Results: Fibrinogen and its digestion fragment D induced pro-coagulant activation of monocytes as assessed in a cellular coagulation assay by reductions in clotting times. Pro-coagulant...

Different Evolutionary Histories of the Coagulation Factor VII Gene in Human Populations?:Immoderate blood clotting constitutes a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in modern industrialised societies, but is believed to have conferred a survival advantage, i.e. faster recovery from bleeding, on our ancestors. Here, we investigate the evolutionary history of the Coagulation Factor VII gene (F7) by analysing five cardiovascular-risk...
