Extracellular Vesicles and Dysregulated Coagulation in the Prediction of Stroke
Annually 100,000 strokes occur, placing stroke as the largest cause of disability in the UK. 90% of strokes are preventable, leading to national focus on programmes including "The National Stroke Programme" to act on preventing, treating, and improving post-stroke care. Importantly, over 25% of ischaemic stroke sufferers have previously had …
Dynamics of Platelet Activation in Patients With Ventricular Assist Device (VAD)
Consenting patients with end-stage heart failure that are implanted with/candidates for implant of a short-term/durable mechanical circulatory support device (e.g.: percutaneous microaxial pumps (Impella), extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO), Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) will be enrolled in the study. Aim of the study is to evaluate the patients' haemostatic and coagulation …
Effects of Bothrops Spp. Snake Envenomation on Willebrand Factor Activity in Martinique and French Guiana
In 2017, the World Health Organization placed snakebites at the top of its list of neglected tropical diseases in an effort to facilitate funding for prevention programs, improve access to anti-venom, and stimulate new research in this area. Between 5 and 25 cases per 100 000 inhabitants are reported per …
The Utility of Thromboelastography in Traumatic Brain Injury
Hemocoagulation disorder is recognized to have crucial effects on hemorrhagic or ischemic diseases. Coagulation-related damages secondary to traumatic brain injury are common and severe secondary insults of head trauma and often leads to a poor prognosis. In this study, we sought to assess if posttraumatic hemocoagulation disorders determined using thromboelastography …
Study Protocol: Impact of Metamizole (Optalgin®) on Anti-Xa Concentrations in Oncology Patients Receiving DOACs
Evaluation of the Effect of metamizole (Optalgin®) on Anti-Xa Levels in Oncology Patients Receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs)
Impact of IV Iron on Bleeding Symptoms in Iron Deficient Patients With Inherited Bleeding Disorders
This is a prospective, single-arm, single-center observational study evaluating the impact of intravenous (IV) iron replacement in patients with inherited bleeding disorders and iron deficiency (ferritin \<50ng/dL). Subjects will undergo baseline bleeding assessments, quality-of-life measures, and laboratory tests before receiving standard-of-care IV iron. Follow-up blood work and questionnaires will be …
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Progestin Treatment in Bleeding Disorders Study
The goal of this multicenter prospective observational study and registry of U.S. adolescents and young adults with heritable bleeding disorders is to determine the bleeding outcomes, satisfaction, hemostatic parameter changes, and patient reported quality of life after 6 months of use of either of two commonly used hormonal treatments for …
Personalized ViscoElastic Testing-guided Bleeding Management In Liver Surgery, Neurosurgery and Obstetrics
The ClotPro analyzer is a new generation viscoelastic analyzer for the in vitro assessment of blood coagulation. This study aims to assess the agreement of ClotPro 6.0, ROTEM delta, and TEG 6s in three distinct cohorts: i) patients with liver disease undergoing liver surgery, ii) pregnant women undergoing elective cesarean …
The Genetics and Functional Basis of Inherited Platelet, White Blood Cell, Red Blood Cell, and Blood Clotting Disorders.
Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, as well as a fluid portion termed plasma. We primarily study blood platelets, but sometimes we also analyze the blood of patients with red blood cell disorders (such as sickle cell disease), white blood cell disorders, and disorders of the …
Comparative Study of Tranexamic Acid Dosing in Cardiac Surgery
Tranexamic axid is routinely used as an antifibrinolytic agent in cardiac surgery to reduce the risk of blood loss and transfusion. However, there is no consensus regarding the dosage regimen of tranexamic acid that should be administered. The purpose of this study is to compare different dosages of tranexamic acid …
