COAgulation Disorders in Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic Stroke
In this study the investigators will assess both procoagulant and anticoagulant pathways using thrombin generation and platelet function tests; as well as neuronal ischemia using cell free DNA in all patients presenting with ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke (including aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorraghe). Also the cross-talk between inflammation and thrombosis, so-called thrombo-inflammation …
Coagulopathy of Immunodermatologic Diseases
This study will examine the coagulation and fibrinolysis profiles of those with autoimmune skin diseases. Blood samples will be collected from participants with active/poorly controlled immune-mediated skin diseases and mild/latent/well-controlled immune-mediated skin diseases. A one-time sample from 15 general dermatology outpatients who do not have a known or suspected diagnosis …
COVID-19 Coagulopathy Extension Study
At the University of Iowa, the investigators led a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing standard prophylactic dose to intermediate dose enoxaparin in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (NCT04360824). As part of an exploratory biomarker component of this trial, blood samples were collected from hospitalized COVID-19 patients at enrollment and weekly for …
Intravascular Clotting (POCUS) - Marker of the Timing and Severity of Cardiac Arrest; Indicator of Futile Resuscitation
The scientific goals of the project: ultrasound assessment of the incidence of clotting in deep veins in patients after cardiac arrest during resuscitation and after the declaration of death; comparison to the incidence of clotting in the heart cavities comparison of resuscitation results in patients with and without clotting detected …
Stroke Risk Assessment and Markers of Blood Clotting in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF), Who Have Not Received Oral Anticoagulation Therapy (OAC-therapy) Prior to Inclusion
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder worldwide. Globally, there are 37.5 million people with AF. AF increases the risk of death, heart failure, and stroke, which severely affect patients and also lead to high healthcare costs. Around 25% of all strokes are caused by AF, …
Pharmacogenomics of Warfarin in Hispanics and Latinos
Warfarin is a commonly used blood thinner to treat and prevent blood clots. It is important to take the right dose of warfarin because too much can increase the risk of bleeding and too little can increase the risk of blood clots. This is why patients are closely monitored especially …
Thrombus Imaging and Treatment Analytics in Neurology
In the present study, the investigators use high-resolution MR vessel wall imaging, and select patients with cerebral and cervical artery occlusion to investigate the relationship between the imaging appearance of thrombus and the various outcome of recanalization treatment.
Prospective Observational Pilot Study of LMWH Versus UFH as ECMO Anticoagulation in Lung Transplantation
The aim of this observational pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) as anticoagulation in perioperative ECMO during bilateral lung transplantation. The main question this study seeks to answer is: Does LMWH provide a safe and effective alternative to …
The Origin and Role of Thromboembolism in the Pathogenesis of Ischaemic Stroke
Ischaemic stroke is usually due to occlusion of a cerebral artery by thrombus. However, it is often difficult to identify the source of thrombus, or to confirm thrombus as a cause of ischaemic stroke. Moreover, it is debated whether thrombosis plays any role in certain types of stroke such as …
Extracellular Vesicle Micro RNA Profiling in Congenital Heart Disease: Fetal-Maternal Regulation in Neonatal Thrombosis
Newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk of developing postpartum and postoperative blood clots after cardiac surgery. The molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the clotting profile predisposing children to blood clots in the early stages of life are currently not well described. The goal of this …
