[1] [2] Thrombosis may occur in veins ( venous thrombosis ) or in arteries ( arterial thrombosis ). Venous thrombosis (sometimes called DVT, deep vein thrombosis ) leads to a blood clot in the affected part of the body, while arterial thrombosis (and, rarely, severe venous thrombosis) affects the blood supply and leads to damage of the tissue ...
Normal platelet function does not return until the use of aspirin has ceased and enough of the affected platelets have been replaced by new ones, which can take over a week. Ibuprofen , another NSAID , does not have such a long duration effect, with platelet function usually returning within 24 hours, [ 66 ] and taking ibuprofen before aspirin ...
[1] An increased mean platelet volume (MPV) increases the risk to suffer a heart disease [2] MPV may be higher when there is destruction of platelets. This may be seen in immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myeloproliferative diseases and Bernard–Soulier syndrome. It may also be related to pre-eclampsia and recovery from transient ...
Clotting time is a general term for the time required for a sample of blood to form a clot, or, in medical terms, coagulate.The term "clotting time" is often used when referring to tests such as the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or PTT), activated clotting time (ACT), thrombin time (TT), or Reptilase time.
Giant platelet disorders, also known as macrothrombocytopenia, are rare disorders featuring abnormally large platelets, thrombocytopenia and a tendency to bleeding. Giant platelets cannot stick adequately to injured blood vessel walls, resulting in abnormal bleeding when injured.
It makes up about 55% of the body's total blood volume. [1] It is the intravascular part of extracellular fluid (all body fluid outside cells). It is mostly water (up to 95% by volume), and contains important dissolved proteins (6–8%; e.g., serum albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen), [2] glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes (Na +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+
Diagram showing the development of different blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells to mature cells.. A blood cell (also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte) is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood.
Diagram of T. gondii structure with dense granules. T. gondii contains organelles called unique organelles including dense granules. Dense granules, along with other secretory vesicles such as a microneme and rhoptry secrete proteins involved in the gliding motility, invasion, and parasitophorous vacuole formation of Toxoplasma gondii.
